TWO LEVEL MAINTENANCEThe Army Initiative to Revamp Current Four-Tier System that was Created Prior to WW II by Dividing all Maintenance into:
Field Level = “On-System Maintenance” - Combines Unit and Selected Direct Support tasks.
“Sustainment” Level Maintenance - “Off System Maintenance”, Combines Direct, Support, General Support, and Depot Level Maintenance.
