Béla Rebák Page: 7 / 105 DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF GS1 STANDARDS IN THE GERMAN DEFENSE SECTOR i. A. Thorsten Kirschner Senior-Branchenmanager Technische Industrie, GS1 Germany GmbH Abstract Automatic identification in the German Armed Forces - Increased transparency in material tracking From manufacturing to shipment and storage to the place of operation (“from factory to foxhole”) - through the standardized marking and identification of products and shipments, the German Armed Forces want to ensure effective material tracking. The GS1 Standards shall serve as a key to the globally valid transparent supply chain. The Bundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr (BAAINBw; The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support) states clearly: According to the technical terms of delivery TL A-0032, products, which are catalogued or to be catalogued, further onward supply items (VersArt), to be delivered to the German Armed Forced, have to be marked unambiguously and as permanently as possible with a GS1 data carrier. The goal is to ensure a machine-readable identification across all logistic processes and guarantee the completely transparent flow of information and of goods. Within the framework of Automatic Identification Technology (AIT), the GS1-128 barcode or the GS1 DataMatrix are principally to be used for product marking. For the labeling of shipments within the logistic process, the GS1-128 barcode is to be used solely, upon prior contractual agreement. This document summarizes the most important regulations for labeling via the GS1-128 barcode and/or the GS1 DataMatrix. Regulations correspond to all companies intended to be TL A-0032 compliant. 1 GLOBAL LOCATION NUMBER (GLN) The GLN key is both prerequisite and basis for the formation of the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) and the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC).

  • The M14 Rifle, Officially the United States Rifle, 7.62 Mm, M14, Is an American Selective Fire Automatic Rifle That Fires 7.62×51Mm NATO (.308 In) Ammunition
    The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, 7.62 mm, M14, is an American selective fire automatic rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 in) ammunition. It gradually replaced the M1 Garand rifle in U.S. Army service by 1961 and in U.S. Marine Corps service by 1965. It was the standard issue infantry rifle for U.S. military personnel in the contiguous United States, Europe, and South Korea from 1959 until the M16 rifle began replacing it in 1964. The M14 was used for U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The M14 was the last American battle rifle issued in quantity to U.S. military personnel. The rifle remains in limited service in all branches of the U.S. military as an accurized competition weapon, a ceremonial weapon by honor guards, color guards, drill teams, and ceremonial guards, and sniper rifle/designated marksman rifle. Civilians models in semi- automatic are used for hunting, plinking, target shooting and competitions including metallic silhouette, 3 gun and metal challenge. The M14 is the basis for the M21 and M25 sniper rifles which were largely replaced by the M24 Sniper Weapon System. A new variant of the M14, the Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle has been in service since 2002. History Early development The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 rifle. Although the M1 was among the most advanced infantry rifles of the late 1930s, it was not an ideal weapon.

    United Nations S/2019/83 Security Council Distr.: General 25 January 2019 Original: English Letter dated 25 January 2019 from the Panel of Experts on Yemen addressed to the President of the Security Council The members of the Panel of Experts on Yemen have the honour to transmit herewith the final report of the Panel, prepared in accordance with paragraph 6 of resolution 2402 (2018). The report was provided to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2140 (2014) on 8 January 2019 and considered by the Committee on 18 January 2019. We would appreciate it if the present letter and the report were brought to the attention of the members of the Security Council and issued as a document of the Council.

The country remains deeply fractured, with the growing presence of armed groups and deep-rooted corruption exacerbating the impact of the armed conflict for ordinary Yemenis within both Houthi-held areas and liberated governorates. Although there has been activity on some fronts, notably along the coast of the Red Sea, the ground war remains predominantly confined to relatively small areas. Most Yemenis therefore carry on with their lives within an economy broken by the distortions of conflict.

  • NSN for VCAS Sling
    NSN Issued to Blue Force Gear Blue Force Gear’s proven Vickers Combat Applications Sling issued NSN by DLA for government purchasers. Cutting edge design brings needed update to U.S. Warfighters’ equipment. SAVANNAH, GA—May 1, 2012—Blue Force Gear® announced today that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has assigned National Stock Number 1005-01-604-0627* to the Vickers Combat Applications Sling™. (VCAS) During combat trials in Afghanistan in 2011, U.S. Marines validated the VCAS™ as the issue sling for their new M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle as delivered by Heckler & Koch. These slings will join over 100,000 other Blue Force Gear slings already in use across every branch of service. The USMC has also fully authorized this sling for use on M4, M4A1 and M16 series rifles and Blue Force Gear offers attachments to connect the VCAS to these weapons as well as other internationally produced small arms. “Our Vickers Combat Applications Sling has quietly revolutionized the way combat arms are carried and deployed by elite infantry,” said Ashley Burnsed, Blue Force Gear’s CEO. “For years thousands of U.S. Warfighters have trusted us to provide slings to carry their most critical piece of battlefield equipment, their personal weapon, and now DLA has provided an easy way for the troops to get these amazing slings.” Developed in conjunction with retired Special Operations soldier Larry Vickers, the Patent Pending VCAS has redefined the modern combat rifle sling category with snag free simplicity and superior durability. The VCAS is a quick-adjust two point sling which attaches to the front and rear of a rifle.

  • Explanation of the NATO Stock Number Placed on Early Post-War Military P38s
    Explanation of the NATO stock number placed on early post-war military P38s A 13-digit number will occasionally be found on the slide and or magazine of early post-war P38 pistols. The number is the NATO stock number (NSN), and is 1005-12-120-6168 (for the pistol), and 1005-12-120-0892 (for the magazine). These numbers were stamped directly on the pistol from the beginning of the post-war era, and were later dropped. NSNs were assigned to related items as well, such as the cleaning kit (1005-12-140-6481). The recent lot of surplus P1s still in the factory wrap are marked 1005-12- 140-0440. Replacements parts have an NSN as well - 1005-12-146-3085 is for a stripped slide. One thing they all have in common is that they all start with the numbers 1005-12. What do those numbers mean? The NSN is divided into three sections, as described below. First four digits – Supply Classification Code Consists of a general NATO Supply Group (NSG) (first and second digits), and a more specific NATO Supply Class1 (NSC) (first, second, third, and fourth digits). In this case 10 (the NSG) = “Weapons,” and 1005 (the NSC) = “guns, through 30mm.” Data from AC/1352 indicates that NSC 1005 “includes machine guns; brushes, machine gun and pistol” but “excludes turrets, aircraft.” Further amplification is given as a note which reads “…this group includes combat weapons as well as weapon-like noncombat items, such as line throwing devices and pyrotechnic pistols. Also included in this group are weapon neutralizing equipment, such as degaussers, and deception equipment, such as camouflage nets.
