CONSUMABLES - POL
M1A1 POL CONSUMPTION RATES / HOUR

• NOTES
• The above mentioned POL are those with the
  highest consumption rates
• The M1A1 has a 1910L fuel tank, this will last
  for 8 hours at idle and up to 12 hours when
  moving, (the turbine engine burns less fuel and
  more oxygen at high revs whilst moving)
• The M1A1 has an External Auxiliary Power Unit
  (EAPU). The EAPU is essentially a small generator
  which enables the M1A1 to operate all weapon and
  targeting systems, including the thermal image
  system in static roles at greatly reduced fuel
  consumption over prolonged periods.
• Jetoil 2 consumption can also be provisioned
  using the following formula 2 quarts / tank /
  day.
• FRH consumption can also be provisioned using the
  following formula 5 litres / tank / week.
• Grease consumption can also be provisioned using
  the following formula 3 cartridges / tank /
  week.
• 15W40 consumption can also be provisioned using
  the following formula 10 litres / tank / week.

THE M88A2 USES 3 L DEISO / KM AND HAS A 1563L
FUEL CABACITY

CONSUMABLES - POL

• 1 ARMD REGT BULK FUEL ASSETS
• 8 X MACK TRUCK TANKER FUEL-AVIATION (TTF-A)
  PLANNING CAPACITY 12500L (PICTURED BELOW)
• 2 X MACK TRUCK TANKER FUEL (TTF) PLANNING
  CAPACITY 11380L
• REGT TOTAL FUEL CAPACITY OF 122760L
• THE TTF-A IS THE PREFERRED OPTION FOR REFUELLING
  THE M1A1 AND M88A2 DUE TO ITS FASTER PUMP AND
  BETTER FUEL FILTRATION SYSTEM.

RECOMMENDED PRE H-HOUR AMMO HOLDINGS (RNDS)

• Notes
• Tank Crewmen are to be supplied small arms
  ammunition (9mm 5.56 loose) in accordance with
  extant holdings.
• The above A1 and A2 holdings require 17 and 52
  pallet spaces, respectively, to carry.
• Whilst a Mack is usually capable of carrying 10
  pallets, if it is being used to replen MA1As
  directly only 6 pallets can be packed on it in
  order to allow space for pers to unload
  ammunition and hand off to tank crewmen. (see
  fig1)
• 120mm ammunition comes in a 30rnd wine rack
  whereby each round is pressure sealed into a tube
  that should only be opened immediately prior to
  loading it onto the tank. (see fig2)
• A planning weight of 700kg per 30rnd wine rack
  should be used when loading 120mm ammo on other
  platforms

• FIGURE 1, 120mm Ammunition Wine rack storage on
  MACK truck
• wine racks are to be positioned facing
  forward/backward so that 120mm ammo cam be
  unloaded within the confines of the trucks tray.
• all ammunition handling/unloading is to occur on
  the tray of the truck in order to avoid crush
  injuries if/when Tanks touch side of truck.
• only when tanks have halted beside the truck is
  it safe to step across to the Tank and cross load
  ammo.

AMMUNITION TSNs

• Notes
• 12.7 mm (AIMTESS) are rounds that are
  ballistically matched to 120mm natures out to
  2000m. They are fired for training purposed from
  an assembly that fits inside the M1A1s Breech.
• 7.62mm ammunition should, where possible, be
  ordered in 235rnd (M19)liners. This is because
  the stowage positions inside the Tank as well as
  the loaders and coax MGs only take this
  size/shape liner.

RESUPPLY PLANNING
1 ARMD REPLEN PROCEDURES LINEAR REPLEN

• A LINEAR REPLEN CAN BE TAILORED FOR THE SIZE OF
  THE ELEMENT BEING RESUPPLIED, THE BELOW LINEAR
  REPLEN IS APPROPRIATE TO REPLEN A SQN IN ONE HOUR
• A LINEAR REPLEN CAN BE CONDUCTED ON A ROAD OR IN
  A GREEN-FIELD ENVIRONMENT (WITHIN THE CROSS
  COUNTRY LIMITATIONS OF FULLY LADEN MACKS)
• THE TP SGT, SSM OR RSM OF THE ELEMENT CONDUCTING
  THE REPLEN SHOULD RV WITH LOG ELEMENTS PRIOR TO
  THE REPLEN OCCURING IN ORDER TO SITE THE LINEAR
  REPLEN TAKING ALL SUPPLY AND TACTICAL
  CONSIDERATIONS SUCH AS LIKELY ENEMY APPROACH AND
  SPACING INTO ACCOUNT
• TTF-A SHOULD BE USED TO REFUEL ON LINEAR REPLENS
  WHERE POSSIBLE DUE TO THEIR FASTER PUMPING
  CAPACITY
• THE LOADING OF AMMUNITION IS GENERALLY THE
  SLOWEST PART OF THE REPLEN

• A CURBSIDE REPLEN IS SIMILAR TO A LINEAR REPLEN,
  HOWEVER IT ONLY OCCURS OFF THE SIDE OF AN
  ESTABLISTED TRACK AND TANKS ONLY PASS TO ONE SIDE
  OF THE RESUPPLY ELEMENT. (CURBSIDE REPLENS
  USUALLY OCCUR INA NON-TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT)

RESUPPLY PLANNING
1 ARMD REPLEN PROCEDURES BATTLE REPLEN

• A BATTLE REPLEN IS A REPLEN POINT ESTABLISTED
  BEHIND TANKS IN-CONTACT, ONE TANK OR ONE SECTION
  PULLS OUT OF CONTACT AT A TIME AND CONDUCTS A
  PIT STOP STYLE REPLEN OF FUEL AND AMMO
• A BATTLE REPLEN CAN BE CONDUCTED ANYWHERE
  NECESSARY (WITHIN THE CROSS COUNTRY LIMITATIONS
  OF FULLY LADEN MACKS)
• THE TP SGT/SSM OF THE ELEMENT CONDUCTING THE
  BATTLE REPLEN SHOULD SITE, COORDINATE AND MANAGE
  THE SECURITY OF THE BATTLE REPLEN
• IT IS BETTER TO CONDUCT SEVERAL TP/SQN SIZED
  BATTLE REPLENS BEHIND THE FLOT, AS A SINGLE LARGE
  REPLEN WILL CAUSE CONJESTION, CONFUSION AND
  UNNECESSARY LATERAL MOVEMENT BEHIND THE FLOT.
• TTF-A SHOULD BE USED TO REFUEL ON BATTLE REPLENS
  WHERE POSSIBLE DUE TO THEIR FASTER PUMPING
  CAPACITY. (IF MULTIPLE TTF ARE AVAILABLE THEY
  SHOULD BE USED CONCURRENTLY)

1 ARMD REPLEN PROCEDURES IN HIDE REPLEN

• AN IN HIDE REPLEN AIMS TO MINIMISE TANK MOVEMENT
  BY MOVING ALL RESUPPLY ASSETS TO STATIC TANKS
• AN IN HIDE REPLEN CAN BE CONDUCTED ANYWHERE
  NECESSARY (WITHIN THE CROSS COUNTRY LIMITATIONS
  OF FULLY LADEN MACKS)
• THE TP SGT/SSM OF THE ELEMENT CONDUCTING THE IN
  HIDE REPLEN SHOULD DIRECT THE REPLEN
• IN HIDE REPLENS ARE AN EXTREMELY SLOW WAY TO
  CONDUCT REPLENS

FBCB2 / BFT

• Two major capabilities that the M1A1 and M88A2
  Platforms posses are the Force XX1 Battle Command
  Brigade and Below (FBCB2) and Blue Force Tracker
  (BFT)
• FBCB2 / BFT is a live satellite based
  communication and tracking system which affords
  unprecedented situational awareness to the M1A1
  and M88A2 platforms

FBCB2 / BFT

• 1 Armd Regt has the capability to link portable
  (non-vehicle mounted) FBCB2 / BFT systems into
  another unit/BG HQ if required.
• For FBCB2 / BFT to work it requires L-Band
  satellite coverage, at present L-Band coverage
  exists over Australia, North America and all
  major US theatres of operation.
