[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3734952, member: 796"] I wish! All the initial Support Equipment (SE), tech data, spares are paid for with the Code 3080 procurement money authorized by Congress, and many new systems programs "solve" their budget shortfalls by identifying "common in use" tools that aren't really suitable. That's how you wind up with things like a wheel wrench that is awkward and dangerous to use. Or a Tactical Radar with an antenna sawed in half so it can store in a standard Army S-12 shelter already approved for carrying on a C-130. (This less-than optimal solution solved both a budget shortfall and a two-year program delay because the Tulsa, OK shelter contractor defaulted on his contract). [/QUOTE]
