”; tools  and  supplies  required  to  support  the  air  det equipment  platoon  operation.  Examples  of  these  tools and supplies are aas follows: the kit 80013, mechanic hand look for two men; kit 80031, metric support tools; kit 80057, tire service tools (small); kit 80107, lubrication equipment and accessories. Do not forget other important items, such as a bundle of rags; a hand-operated fuel/oil dispensing  pump  for  55-gallon  drums  (commonly  known in the NCF as a “hurdy-gurdy”); 55-gallon drums for fuel, oil cans, rigging gear, jumper cables; and tools for the field  maintenance  truck;  and  tools  to  support  any construction  tasking. The request list is forwarded through the air det chain of command and reviewed and approved  by  the  battalion  staff. The  lead  mechanic  is  responsible  for  coordinating with the maintenance supervisor when requesting the NAVSUP  modifier  code  96,  repair  parts  common NAVS  UP  modifier  code  98,  “O  level  repair   parts peculiar       and petroleum oil lubricant (POL) products. Normally, The TA41 kits and supplies are stored in  a  supply  warehouse. During  the  48-hour mount-out,  the  requested  kits  and  supplies  are  drawn out  and  staged  at  the  marshaling  area.  FOLLOW UP on the requested tools and supplies throughout the mount-out   period. Overlooked and forgotten items can hamper a well-planned air det operation. CESE REQUIREMENTS The basic CESE allowance for an air det is contained in the TA41; however, the air det-assigned CESE for your deployment site is listed in the Equipment TAB A The organic CESE in the TAB A is divided into three echelons: AD for air det, AE for air echelon, and SE for sea echelon. CESE with like equipment codes (ECs) but different echelon can be changed to meet the needs of the air det. The amount of CESE and supplies required for a mission is controlled by the availability of airlift, sealift, or  over-the-road  support.    This requires the air det to preplan and prioritize all tasking and request only the amount of resources needed to accomplish the mission successfully.  The  knowledge  and  expertise  of  the equipment platoon supervisor enhances the ability of the air det to identify and request the required CESE, supplies,  and  POL  for  the  air  det  mission. When identifying  CESE,  you  should  consider  the  following: convoy  capabilities,  equipment  specifications,  parts support, equipment conditions, and equipment aircraft certification and certifiability. Prioritize the CESE, supplies, and POL requirements. This  allows  the embarkation office to prepare aircraft load plans to meet the   needs   of   the   air   det.   Material   and   CESE requirements  are  discussed  and  approved  by  the battalion  staff. OPERATOR  ASSIGNMENTS Once  the  CESE  list  has  been  established,  the equipment platoon supervisor must assign operators and  co-drivers.  Operators  must  stand  by  their assigned  CESE  that  has  been  prepared  and  staged  at the  marshaling  area  for  the  joint  inspection  (JI). They  are  also  required  to  accompany  the  assigned CESE throughout the transport to the mission site. The staging and marshaling area is where equipment and  materials  are  received.  CESE  is  inspected  for cleanliness  and  fluid  leaks,  mobile  loads  are  completed, vehicles are weighed and marked for center of balance, cargo is palletized on the Air Force 463L cargo pallets (fig.  2-l),  and  cargo  and  CESE  are  placed  into  a configuration (chalk) for each aircraft (fig. 2-2). “ ”; Figure 2-2.—Marshalling for C-130 and C-141 aircraft. 2-3
