GENERAL INTERCHANGEABILITY INFORMATION General Information; Repairs made to combat damaged equipment should be the same as repairs made during the normal maintenance posture. However, due to the extreme nature of damage that might be found in combat-damaged equipment, normal maintenance procedures might not be sufficient.

The following is a partial listing of interchangeable parts for the AN/VIC-1 and the AN/VRC-12 as installed in most common tracked vehicles on the battlefield. It is provided as a guide only and is not necessarily y a complete listing of all components from other vehicles that could be substituted.

For information on foreign equipment interchangeability, refer to paragraph 11-25 through 11-28. Any component that has been replaced should be turned in for repair through the normal channels and thereby returned to the inventory.
