TIRE/WHEEL ASSEMBLES IN SWA 

Tank-automotive and Armaments Command has expanded stockage of mounted tire and wheel assemblies, assigning 39 NSNs for those assemblies used on light, medium and heavy tactical vehicles. Additionally, TACOM has shipped more than 5,000 assemblies to SWA for HMMWVs, HEMTTs, FMTVs, PLS/HETs, M915 line haul tractors and M939 series 5-ton fleets, A complete listing of NSNs, item managers and prices are located at TACOM's AEPS website: https://aeps2.ria.army.millcommodity/tire_wheel-assy-item.mgr.xls

The SMR code for the assemblies is PCOHH. The stacked items can be installed, replaced or used by org/unit level, but GS is the lowest level that can do complete repair and determine disposition action on an unserviceable item. As supplies increase, units within SWA will be able to update their SARSS boxes to forward unserviceable assemblies for repair to the AMC Forward Repair Activity in Balad, Iraq.
