				CRITICAL ISSUE 
 
SUBJECT: War Readiness Spares Kits (WRSK) 
 
 
OBSERVATIONS: Harvest Falcon assets have been placed in service to 
beddown and feed personnel. Kits are incomplete in some cases. 
Equipment requires service and maintenance. Extremely limited WRSK 
and spares available. 
 
  Many of the 9-1s recently shipped into the SWA AOR are arriving 
without all of the parts/equipment associated with complete kitchens, 
i.e., missing burner parts, broken tilt grills with no repair parts, 
etc. No spares kits are available for the 9-1. 
 
  Experiencing numerous problems with the TFLs, i.e., electrodes 
burning out drum axis breaking and control panels fouling. 
Insufficient kits available to allow accomplishment of local repairs. 
 
  Technical Orders for ECU's arrived this week. Sites still missing 
technical orders for M-80 boilers, etc. and thus they are unable to 
order repair parts for these systems. 
 
ACTION: Asked LGS and TAC/BS to expedite WRSK and spares. 
Established CEMIRT for depot maintenance of electrical assets within 
AOR.  Sites now forced to order repair parts through their home base 
taking 60 days plus. WRSK kits for MEP-7 and MEP-6 generators sent to 
sites. Less than 70% quantity of MEP-7 and MEP-6 WRSK kits available 
for the number of generators deployed in the field. WRSK for ECU's 
now arriving in theatre and being dispersed to sites. This is 
critical since sites do not have spare parts to make repairs.
