If you have trouble finding the Vishay Dale resistor in the RN military specification, just use the CMF ones, they are the exact same part, just with commercial labeling and spec's. For example the RN60 is rated at 1/4 watt. The exact same CMF60 can be rated up to 1 watt, depending on the ambient temp. Just check the data sheets before buying.

Note: I always check to make sure the part is "in stock" also. I can't tell you how many times I have placed an order with Mouser only to get an e-mail the next day stating that the back ordered parts will be shipped later. Shipping can add up real fast.
