Keeping crows flying.ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF ACTION IN YOUR NEW UNIT? YES! MY LAST UNIT INCLUDED MY M2 MACHINE GUN BLOCK GUIDE, SO I'M GOOD TO GO!

But many CROWS have been shot down because all their hardware hasn't been passed on when the CROWS moves to a new unit. What usually ends up missing are items from the weapon adapter kit for the M2 and MK19 machine guns, items from the boresight kit, and tools. Just one missing item can make your CROWS unusable. The only way to ensure nothing gets left out when the CROWS goes from one unit to another is for both the giving and receiving units to inventory the CROWS with TM 9-1090-218-HR. That way you know every single CROWS item has been accounted for.
