Chapter 1Introduction

11. Purposea. This pamphlet provides a central location for information most

often needed for motor pool daily garrison operations. It is notintended to replace other publications, but will tie maintenance pol-icy as it applies to unit maintenance operations together in a usableform. It is understood that there are different types of units andequipment found throughout the Active Army and Reserve Compo-nents, but the procedures for unit maintenance operations in the

garrison environment are similar. Unit level maintenance tasks aredefined in AR 7501) as tasks performed by the operator, crew,and/or unit maintenance personnel. Unit maintenance is the founda-tion of the Armys maintenance system.

b. This pamphlet applies to all Army equipment except

(1) Installed equipment (see AR 42017).

(2) Industrial production equipment.

(3) Nonstandard equipment that is locally purchased and has notbeen type classified or assigned an NSN. However, nontactical(commercial) wheeled vehicles are covered by this pamphlet.

(4) Equipment bought with nonappropriated funds.

(5) Medical equipment covered by TB 387502.

c. This pamphlet is arranged in chapters designed to show howthose sub-functional areas of unit level maintenance operations notcovered in detail within AR 7501, chapter 2, section III should

function. The guidance found in this pamphlet can be applied to anyunit maintenance operation, regardless of the density of equipment.

12. ReferencesRequired and related publications and referenced forms are listed inappendix A.

13. Explanation of abbreviations and termsAbbreviations and special terms used in this pamphlet are explainedin the consolidated glossary.

Chapter 2Essential Functional Areas Within Unit Maintenance

21. The Army Maintenance Management System(TAMMS)

a. Operation of the TAMMS. The Army Maintenance Manage-ment System (DA Pam 738750) describes the forms and recordsrequired in the performance of unit level maintenance. A unitsTAMMS functions are performed by one or more school trainedEqui pment Records and Parts Sp ec ia lists, Military Occup at ion alSpecialty (MOS) 76C. The 76C must be under the direct supervisionof the NCOIC of the maintenance administration section or the unitmotor sergeant. The TAMMS is either operated manually or usingthe automated Unit Level Logistics System (ULLS). The ULLS isan automated system that improves the timeliness, accuracy andreporting of maintenance data. This is the most important automatedsystem to the unit maintenance managers. Regardless of the systembeing used, the purpose of a units TAMMS operation is to create,

maintain, and p roperly dispose of operational, maintenance andequipment historical records.

b. Operational records. Those forms and records that providethe commander and maintenance manager a means to control theuse of unit equipment. Operational forms and records are main-tained in a motor pool per DA Pam 738750, chapter 2. The proce-d u res us e d b y a un i t t o d is patch e q u i pme nt s ho u l d be t i ghtlycontrolled and clearly explained in the maintenance portion of theunit standing operating procedures (SOP). The detailed steps withinthe dispatch loop (fig 21) can vary from unit to unit, but theessential TAMMS clerk tasks are to

(1) Check the operators OF 346 (U.S. Government OperatorsIdentification Card to ensure validity for equipment requested.

(2) Check DD Form 314 (Preventive Maintenance Schedule andRecord) to ensure requested equipment is fully mission capable, andno maintenance actions are overdue, and DD Form 314 (PreventiveMaintenance Schedule and Record) for scheduled services due.

(3) Check and verify that all operator entries are properly loggedon DD Form 1970 (Motor Equipment Utilization Record).

(4) Make all required entries on DA Form 2401 (OrganizationControl Record for Equipment).

(5) Check to see if the operator listed any new faults or deficien-cies DA Form 2404 (Daily Equipment Inspection and MaintenanceWorksheet) that require any action.

(6) Submit any DA Form 2404 that was submitted by an operatorto the appropriate maintenance supervisor upon return to the motorpool; report any faults not previously entered on the DA Form2 4 0 8 1 4 ( E q u i p m e n t U n c o r r e c t e d F a u l t R e c o r d ) o r U L L Sequivalent.

(7) Ensure that any DA Form 2404 submitted containing a defi-ciency is immediately forwarded to the appropriate maintenancesupervisor for action. When an non-mission capable (NMC) faultrequires repairs above the units capabilities, a DA Form 2407(Maintenance Request) is used to request assistance from DSU.Refer to figure 22 for an exmple of organizational level repairworkflow to DS/GS maintenance.

c. Maintenance records. Maintenance records, with the excep-tion of DA Form 2404, differ from operational records in that theyhave little effect on the daily operation of equipment. They are

primarily used for scheduling, performing and managing mainte-nance on equipment. When faults are identified, or servicing isrequired, maintenance forms and records are used by unit mainte-nance personnel to record and initiate required maintenance actionssand reasons for delay. The entire unit maintenance section providesinput to, and uses maintenance records. It is therefore, essential thatunit maintenance managers/supervisors evaluate and monitor theflow of information contained on maintenance forms and recordsregularly. Some maintenance records are produced automatically inunits equipped with ULLS, but the purposes of the various formsare the same. The most critical tasks the TAMMS clerk must ac-complished are to

(1) Maintain the DD Form 314 Per DA Pam 738750, chapter 2.The manual version of this form is the most difficult form in themotor pool to keep current. Maintenance managers must be expertson the numerous entries that the TAMMS clerk must make on this

form. The constant updating of scheduled -20 level preventive main-tenance checks and services (PMCS), lubrication, Army Oil Analy-sis Program (AOAP), and NMC information is extremely important.If the TAMMS clerk allows the DD Form 314 to become outdated,it becomes difficult for the maintenance supervisor to plan upcom-ing services, and adversely impacts on the accuracy of equipmentreadiness rates reported on the DA Form 2406 (Materiel ConditionStatus Report).

(2) Update and reconcile the DA Form 240814. The DA Form240814 is a dynamic form listing all uncorrected faults (not defi-ciencies) and the reason they have not been corrected. The TAMMSclerk must constantly update the DA Form 240814 as new faultsare reported by operators and old faults are corrected by mainte-nance personnel. Equipment operators and unit mechanics use theDA Form 2408-14 as a reference when performing -10 and -20 level

PMCS to avoid reporting faults that have already been identifiedand actions that have been deferred. This form is a valuable toolthat can be used to identify systemic problems in a units mainte-n ance oper atio n . F or e x ample , c ompar ing t his f orm a g ainst itsequipment can reveal operators who are unable to properly performPMCS, problems in the prompt requesting of repair parts and inade-quate -20 level PMCS. Whether a unit uses the actual DA Form240814 or a facsimile produced by ULLS, this form requires fre-q u e n t a t t e n t i o n f r o m u n i t l e v e l c o m m a n d e r s a n d m a i n t e n a n c emanagers.

(3) The TAMMS/PLL clerk is the critical link in the flow anddisposition of the DA Form 2404. The DA Form 2404 is the sourcedocument for entries on the DA Form 240814 and DA Form 2406.Per DA Pam 738750, chapter 3, the DA Form 2404 annotated with

1DA PAM 75035 1 August 1994

faults is not destroyed until all faults are transferred to another formor corrected. Tight control of the flow of this form, once a fault hasbeen entered on it, should be thoroughly covered in the unit SOP

d. Historical records. Historical records differ from operationaland maintenance records in that most of them provide informationto other Army agencies. These records show required informationand specific events in the lifecycle of a piece of equipment inaccordance with DA Pam 738750, chapter 5. Most of these formsaccompany specific components and major end-items throughout thelife of the equipment. Other historical records are mailed to a collec-tion agency rather than being disposed of at the unit level, such asthe DA Form 24084. Some of these forms are not kept in hard-

copy in units equipped with ULLS. The frequently used historicalforms that the TAMMS clerk must maintain are as follows:

(1) The DA Form 24084. This form is used to record the firingand certain maintenance tasks on weapons with cannon or mortartubes. Commanders and unit level maintenance managers shouldoften check the condition of these forms and procedures used toenter information on them. Maintenance personnel use informationfrom the DA Form 24084 to determine the serviceability of can-nons and mortars. Incorrect information can cause continued use ofunsafe weapons. Active Army units closeout and mail their DAForms 24084 to the address shown in DA Pam 738750, chapter 5.This is done when the form is full or twice each year on the dateslisted. Reserve and National Guard units mail their DA Forms24084 once a year. When a DA Form 24084 is used for AirDefense Weapons Systems, the form is disposed of per DA Pam

738750, chapter 5.(2) The DA Form 2408-20. This form is maintained by the

TAMMS clerk to record every oil sampling action and result of anoil analysis returned by the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP)laboratory. A DA Form 240820 is maintained on each componentenrolled in the AOAP as directed by DA Pam 738750, chapter 5. Iti s e s s enti a l that i n f o rm a t io n i s k ept c u r re nt o n t h e D A F orm240820, since it must accompany the component when turned infor repair or rebuild. Additionally, unit maintenance managers usethis form to identify recurring problems in sampling techniques,indicating a need for additional training. Units that receive theNonaeronautical Components Enrolled Report in AOAP no longermaintain this form.

(3) The DA Form 2408-5 (Equipment Modification Record). Thisform is used to show published and applied modification work

orders (MWOs) on all equipment listed in appendix E of DA Pam738750. DA Form 24085 will be initiated only upon notificationof the first published Department of the Army MWO (DAMWO).The organization that applies the MWO will usually make the en-tries in this section. It is essential that all MWOs are kept current onthe DA Form 24085 since it must accompany the equipment whenit is turned in for repair or rebuild. The DA Form 24085 will be apermanent log book record.

22. Prescribed load list (PLL)a. Units authorized personnel, tools, and equipment to perform

unit level maintenance will normally have a PLL. A PLL consists ofu nit main t e nan c e repa i r par t s th a t a re de m a nd s up p or t e d, no n-demand supported, and specified initial stockage repair parts fornewly introduced end items (AR 7102, chap 2). Most, but not all

of the repair parts stocked on a PLL are demand supported.b. The units PLL functions are performed by one or more school

trained 76C, under the direct supervision of the NCOIC of themaintenance administration section or unit motor sergeant.

c. Automated PLL systems have their own users publication foruse by PLL clerks and maintenance managers. The ULLS EndUsers Manual and local SOP dictates how class IX repair parts areordered. When under an automated supply system daily diskettes areforwarded to your supporting unit. Refer to figure 23 for ULLSdiskette daily workflow. Units operating under the manual systemwill find detailed guidance in DA Pam 71021, chapter 8. Regard-less of the system used, the essential PLL clerks tasks are to

(1) Know which Class IX repair parts are authorized in the unitand in what quantities.

(2) Ensure that stock locations and quantities on-hand match thePLL records.

(3) Reorder replenishment repair parts as they are issued, unlessno longer authorized.

(4) Ensure all repair parts are secured in a controlled area usingappropriate security measures. Also ensure that repair parts are pro-tected from damage.

(5) Ensure that partial parts recieved are controlled and stored ina secure area to prevent pilferage.

(6) Ensure that excess parts are turned in promptly in accordance

with appropriate turn in procedures.(7) Maintain a neat and accurate document register. Also ensure

that the commander or designated representative initials the docu-ment register for high priority requests.

(8) Understand the TAMMS records and PLL functions interface(fig 22).

(9) Reconcile the document register with the current status re-ceived from the supporting supply activity (SSA).

(10) Reconcile commanders financial transaction listing with thedocument register.

(11) Understand how to properly use the Army Master Data File(AMDF) and ensure that a copy of the AMDF is available.

(12) Receive/pick up parts.

23. Publications

a. A units management of its publications account can enhanceor degrade both operator and unit level maintenance operations.Operators must have current technical manuals (TMs) for properequipment operation and performance of PMCS.

b. Unit level mechanics and supervisors must have current unitlevel maintenance TMs, lubrication orders (LOs), training circulars(TCs), and technical bulletins (TBs) to properly maintain and serv-ice assigned equipment.

c. M a i n t e nan c e man a g e rs n e ed A rm y reg u l ation s ( ARs ), D Apamphlets (DA PAMs), field manuals (FMs), and supply catalogs(SCs) to ensure their unit is operating per Army doctrine and Fed-eral law.

d. A publications account is established for every unit that has anactive DA Form 12R (Request for Establishment of a PublicationAccount) on file at the Baltimore Publications Center. The DA

Form 12series form is used to order publications against the unitaccount. It also keeps the Baltimore Publications Center updated onthe quantity and types of publications that they are required to keepcurrent in the unit. One-time requests and resupply of publicationsare accomplished using DA Form 4569 (USAPC Requisition CodeSheet).

e. As a minimum, a unit maintenance operation should have thefollowing: one operators manual and LO for each piece of equip-ment, one set of TMs and LOs for each company maintenance team(CMT), and one complete set of TMs, LOs, FMs, TBs, SCs andARs for the unit maintenance platoon/section headquarters. Thereshould be enough manuals so that maintenance personnel do notneed to leave their worksite to use a manual. DA Pam 2530,( C o n s o l i d a t e d I n d e x o f A r m y P u b l i c a t i o n s a n d B l a n k F o r m s )pro vid es the maintenance manager with all needed publicatio nsinformation.

f. Maintenance managers sometimes find their units TM libraryin such poor condition that a complete review is necessary. Theeasiest and fastest way to correct this problem is by obtaining anindex of equipment publications from the United States Army Mate-r i a l Co mm a nd (U SA M C), Mat e ri a l R e a d i n e ss S u pp o r t A c t i v i t y(MRSA) that is tailormade for the unit. Prepare and mail a listing ofall unit equipment line item numbers (LIN) and national stocknumbers (NSNs) to USAMC Material Readiness Support Activity,ATTN: AMXMD-MP, Lexington KY 405115101. MRSA will pro-vide a listing of all applicable TMs with change information organ-ized for easy use.

24. Tools and test, measurement, and diagnosticequipment (TMDE)

a . T he s op h i sticated t y p e s o f v e h i c l e s a n d w e a p ons sy stem sfound in motor pools today cannot be maintained properly withoutthe authorized tools and TMDE. Commanders, unit maintenancemanagers, and supervisors must ensure that all sets, kits, and outfits(SKO) and special tools are being used and maintained properly;properly accounted for; and promptly replaced when unserviceableor lost. Unit mechanics cannot be expected to properly troubleshoot,remove, or replace components unless the right tool is readily avail-able and serviceable as called for in the equipment TM. Tool roomprocedures are explained in detail in DA Pam 71021, chapter 6,

paragraph 63. A copy of DA Form 5519R (Tool Sign Out Log/Register) can be found at the back of DA Pam 71021. Theprocedures used to account for lost, damaged, or destroyed toolsissued from tool rooms can be found in AR 7355, chapter

b. TMDE is of little value if its not used and calibrated. TMDEis any system or device capable of being used to evaluate theoperational condition of equipment. It identifies or isolates actual orpotential malfunctions. The accuracy of TMDE will have an effecton the quality of work.

(1) AR 75025 covers the Armys TMDE Calibration and RepairSupport Program.

(2) Know your calibration requirements and spot check equip-ment at random for compliance.

(3) TB 75025 has the word on required records and forms forcalibration.

(4) Some common maintenance items requiring calibration are;torque wrenches, multimeters, and simplified test equipment (STE).

(5) If you have an item you think needs calibration but it is noton the list, verify it in TB 43180. Make sure your TMDE is beingused and is not gathering dust. The three types of tools commonlyfound at unit level are as follows:

(a) Mechanics tool kits that consist of common handtools au-thorized by the unit TOE. These tool kits are based upon the num-ber of mechanics authorized.

(b) Shop equipment, common and supplements, which containtools and TMDE tailored to either company or battalion level sec-tions and are issued from a tool room/vehicle.

(c) Equipment special tools required to perform unit level main-tenance on specific equipment and listed in the applicable unit levelrepair parts TM.

c. Maintenance managers must screen equipment -20 level partsmanuals to obtain the NSNs for their tools. They must also ensurethat hand receipts are prepared to maintain accountability for thesetools.

25. Preventive maintenance checks and services(PMCS)

a. AR 7501 states that unit level maintenance is the founda-tion of the Armys maintenance system. PMCS is the foundationof unit level maintenance. PMCS as a system includes all checksand services performed by the operator/crew and the unit mainte-nance section. It is performed in order to identify and correct faults,and perform required services on all assigned equipment. AR 7501,chapter 3, further states that commanders are required to maintainequipment at TM -10/20 PMCS standards according to the appropri-ate technical manuals.

b. No amount of operator/crew level maintenance (-10 PMCS)

can make up for improperly performed unit level scheduled services

(-20 PMCS). Conversely, the most efficient unit level PMCS pro-

gram will not counter the adverse impact of improperly performed

operator/crew level PMCS. Unit commanders and maintenance man-

agers must develop their PMCS program as a unified effort of both

operator/crew and unit mechanics. This complete package can help

avoid the adversaries relationship that can develop between opera-

tors and maintainers at the unit level. As a minimum, a well organ-

ized PMCS program should include

(1) The commanders commitment to the enforcement of pub-

lished guidance on the proper performance of PMCS by operator/

crew and unit maintenance personnel.(2) A training program that results in leaders, supervisors, and

operators being fully qualified and dedicated to performing or super-

vising PMCS tasks correctly.

(3) Sufficient time blocked in the units training schedule specifi-

cally for the performance of operator PMCS on a weekly basis.

(4) Sufficient time blocked in the units training schedule specifi-

cally for the performance of unit level PMCS (-20 level scheduled

services) based on time estimates provided by the maintenance

officer/NCOIC.

(5) As few as possible unscheduled distractions that take equip-

ment operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisors away during

scheduled PMCS periods.

(6) The establishment of strict quality control procedures for

repairs and scheduled services.(7) All special tools, lubricants, and publications on hand to ac-

complish any PMCS task required by the applicable TMs at the unit

level.

(8) Proper PMCS performance by the equipment operator will

ensure early detection of faults and maintenance requirements.

26. Tactical maintenance

For maintenance under field/training exercise conditions, refer to

FM 435. This field manual superseded FM 292 and FC 292J.

27. Vehicle recovery

FM 2022 is directed toward both the leader and the technician.

This field manual provides tactics, technique, and procedures on the

use and employment of recovery assets. It also provides practicalmethods of recovering disabled or immobilized vehicles and return-

ing it to operational status, or evacuate it to a place where it can be

repaired, disposed of, or further disabled to prevent enemy capture

of equipment.

28. Battle Damage Assessment and Repair (BDAR)

FM 2030 provides specific doctrine and techniques for performing

battlefield damage assessment and repair on equipment that has

been disabled by enemy action or mechanical malfunctions. BDAR

is to return disabled equipment rapidly, especially combat vehicles,

to the operational commander by expediently fixing, bypassing, or

juryrigging components. BDAR restores the mininum essential com-

bat capabilities necessary to support a specific combat mission or to

enable the equipment to self recover. Depending on the repairsrequired, BDAR may be a temporary or permanent repair.

Chapter 3Unit Level Maintenance Management

31. Maintenance managersUnit level maintenance managers are those officers and noncommis-sioned officers that plan, organize, direct, coordinate, and controlunit level maintenance assets. The most influential maintenancemanager in a unit is the commander. However, most managementtasks are accomplished by the motor officer/motor sergeant or main-tenance team chief at company/troop/battery level. At battalion/

squadron level the maintenance officer/technician and motor ser-geant are the key maintenance managers. Refer to figure 31 forunit maintenance heirarchy.

32. Maintenance standardsTo achieve the maintenance standards required by AR 7501, chap-ter 1, which is the TM -10/20 PMCS standard, maintenance manag-ers should focus on the following:

a . T h e u n i t c o m m a n d e r s m a i n t e n a n c e r e q u i r e m e n t s f o r a c -complishing the units tactical mission.

Chapter 4Unit Level Maintenance Training

41. General training programsSee FM 25100 for proper methodology for establishing generaltraining programs.

42. External challengesExternal challenges and how they are managed can spell success orfailure to a maintenance training program. Some external factors thecommander cannot influence are

a. Personnel turbulence.

b. Personnel shortages.c. Key NCO inexperience.d. Complexity of equipment.e. First term mechanic inexperience.

43. Internal challengesInternal challenges can be influenced by commanders. Their effectscan be minimized to ease the effects of external challenges. Someinternal factors are as follows:

a. Workload.b. Garrison maintenance only.c. Lack of operator maintenance.d. A poor maintenance training plan or none at all.e. Maintenance not system oriented.

f. First line leaders not involved in maintenance operations.

g. First line leaders with little or no maintenance training.h. Little or no operator/crew maintenance training.i. Personnel not having or using maintenance publications.

j. Improper use of assigned personnel.k. Test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment (TMDE) not be-

ing used.l. Poor quality control procedures.m. Available training assistance not being used.n. Technical experts not consulted on maintenance problems.

44. What the operator or supervisor/leader knowsNo assumptions should be made about what the operator or supervi-sor/ leader knows.

a. All units must have their own testing and training programs.b. The company or unit commander must know what all equip-

ment operators and their leaders, know.c. All personnel must know what they are checking and what to

do when they find a problem.d. The leader must know what the operator knows.e. Should additional training be required, the leader should give it

or advise the unit commander that training assistance is required.f. Continual testing and training must be provided in order to

provide confidence and improved competence of personnel.

45. Commanders maintenance traininga. Each commander must analyze their maintenance training.b. A maintenance training plan should then be developed from

the analysis.c. Personnel skill shortfalls should be identified and the available

training courses scheduled.d. Leaders must be trained to supervise and conduct the neces-

sary maintenance training.e. Since maintenance begins with the equipment operators, com-

manders who invest time in operator training will receive dividendsin equipment availability.

f. First line leaders require training in inspection techniques fortheir equipment as well as its operation.

g. Both formal and on the job training assistance are availablefrom the following external sources:

(1) Maintenance Assistance and Instruction Team (MAIT).(2) Direct support (DS) maintenance unit.(3) AMC logistics assistance office (LAO).

(4) Exportable training packages.

46. Vehicle operators licensingInstructions for completing licensing of vehicle operators should beincorporated in the unit standard operating procedures (SOP). AR60055 provides the basic requirements for a good licensing pro-gram. Use FM 21305, FM 21306, and FM 5530 for more de-tailed information on licensing vehicle operators. Also consult thesepublications for procedures on how to fill out applicable forms.

Chapter 5Unit Maintenance Standing Operating Procedures(SOP)

51. Need for SOPAll units performing maintenance are required to have a mainte-nance SOP according to AR 7501, chapter 2. The maintenanceSOP may be an annex to the units SOP, an annex to the unitslogistics SOP, or a stand alone document. Regardless of where itsfound, its purpose is to formally describe the way a unit performsunit maintenance on assigned equipment. This also includes thatequipment stored outside the motor pool. The unit maintenanceportion of the SOP should be written in enough detail to giverecently assigned personnel a firm grasp of how maintenance is tobe accomplished in the unit.

52. Areas to address in SOPAs a minimum, the following areas of the SOP should be addressedin detail:

a. Maintenance related duties and responsibilities for key unitpersonnel.

b. How the unit maintenance platoon/section is organized.c. Procedures to be followed by personnel during scheduled oper-

ator level PMCS periods.d. Procedures to be followed by all unit personnel associated

with unit level PMCS (scheduled services).e. The procedures used to dispatch equipment in the unit.

f. The procedures required to obtain a government equipmentoperators license (SF 46/OF 346).

g. Tool accountability and control procedures.h. The unit driver/mechanic awards program.

Chapter 6Safety and Security

61. SafetySafe motorpool operations contribute to an effective maintenanceprogram. Everyone must be involved in the success of the unitsafety program. Safety becomes second nature when commanders,sup e r v i so r s, l e a d e rs , a n d e q uipm e n t op er a to r s en f o rce c o m m o nsense safety rules. These rules include the following:

a. No smoking in shop areas.

b. Proper storage of flammables/nonflammablesc. Clean and well lit ventilated work areas.d. Use of ground guides when backing.e. Enforce speed limits.

f. Properly ground electrical equipment.g. Train in use of fire extinguishers.h. Use protective devices for eyes and ears.i. Secure loose parts, tools, and loads before vehicle operations.

j. Inspect tools and equipment before attempting repairs.k. Remove the battery ground cable while working in the engine

compartment.l. Use only approved cleaning solvents, never use gasoline.

m. Use protective clothing.n. Use chock blocks and jack stands.o. Properly use tools.

p. Properly recover and storage used POL.q. Practice POL spill control and other environmental disposable

items.r. No horseplay allowed.s. Properly use compressed air and hydraulic equipment.t. Use safety cages when inflating tires.u. No contact lenses are worn while using welding equipment.v. Always use extreme caution when working with asbestos and

other hazardous materials ensure hazardous areas are marked.

62. SecurityMotor pool shop areas are vulnerable to pilferage and must be

protected. Traffic through the area cannot be avoided. To avoid loss,tools, repair parts, and POL should be secured with appropriatelocks, and checked frequently. When proper precautions are nottaken, these easily pilferable items will disappear. Nothing reducesmorale and esprit de corps of a unit faster than theft. Commandersmust demand strict security in their unit motor pool. (See AR19013.)

Not mission capableA materiel condition indicating that equip-ment cannot perform any one of its combatmissions. NMC is divided into not missioncapable maintenance (NMCM) or not missioncapable supply (NMCS).

a. Equipment is NMC when any of thefollowing situations occur:

(1) The equipment has a deficiency listedin the not mission capable if column ofany 10/20 PMCS tables applicable to theequipment. When a PMCS has not been pub-lished for the equipment, use the equipments e r v i c e a b i l i t y c r i t e r i a ( E S C ) o r a s i m i l a ritems PMCS as a guide. When no PMCS,ESC or similar materiel exists to determinem i s s i o n c a p a b i l i t y o f e q u i p m e n t , t h e un i tc om m a n d e r / m a i n t en a n c e o f fi c e r w ill jud g ethe equipments mission capability based onits design and intended capability. Some ve-hicles/systems are equipped with sub-systemwhich have their own PMCS tables that mustbe considered when determining if the sys-tem is NMC. Note: Some PMCS tables havenot been revised to the new MILM 63036publication. Therefore some not mission ca-pable if columns may read differently butmean the same. For example column headingmay read: Not ready available if

(2) The equipment has an urgent MWO ora limited urgent MWO, that has not beenapplied within the time stated in the MWOpublication.

(3) Equipment cannot perform its combatmissions because of a supply shortage.

b. Equipment at unit maintenance or sup-port maintenance for only normal scheduledpreventive maintenance services or inspectionis FMC. Equipment with faults that do not

affect its operational abilitylike painting orminor body work is also FMC. Equipmentbecome NMC if a fault listed in the notmission capable if column of the PMCS isdetected during performance of the service.Support maintenance will tell the owing unitif the equipment should be carried NMC.

c. Count equipment that is NMC at theend of the workday as NMC for the wholeday. Count equipment that is FMC by theend of the workday as FMC for the wholeday even if it was NMC part of that day. A

workday is defined as the normal duty shiftse t by t h e Con s oli dat e d G l o ss a ry M a i n t e -nance Management Update 13 the local com-mand. A normal duty shift will not exceed a12-hour period.

d. Publications other than this regulationand the PMCS may describe faults as defi-ciencies; however, unless those faults are alsoin the operators PMCS in the not missioncapable if column, do not count them asNMC for DA Form 2406.

Not mission capable maintenance

Equipment that cannot perform its combatmission because of maintenance work under-way or needed.

a. NMCM time starts when the equipmenthas an NMC fault and is under the control ofunit maintenance or any other maintenanceactivity. Do not count time spent on regularlyscheduled maintenance services and inspec-tions or minor repairs like painting and bodywork. Equipment is FMC when a unit is toldit is ready for pickup even though it is stillphysically at support. Equipment is normallyFMC on the day it is inspected and signed

off in block 26 of the DA Form 2407 or DAForm 5504, block 37a.

b. Count NMCM time until all work onthe deficiencies is done and/or the lack of aneeded part stops the work. When the lack ofa part is the only reason the equipment can-not be made FMC, NMCS time starts.

c. Unit NMCM covers all time used at theu n i t l e v e l f o r N M C m a i n t e n a n c e . U n i tN M C M i n c l u d e s t i m e n e e d e d t o d e l i v e requipment and wait for acceptance of equip-ment by the support maintenance activity.

d. Support NMCM covers all time used ats u p p o r t f o r m a i n t e n a n c e , i n s p e c t i o n , a n dwaiting shop delays on NMC faults. Normal

scheduled services and inspections for minorrepair work for other than a NM/c fault donot count as NMCM time for reporting onDA Form 2406.

Not mission capable supply

Equipment that cannot perform its combatmission because of maintenance work stop-page due to a supply shortage.

a. NMCS time starts when no more main-tenance work can be done on a NMC faultbecause a needed part is not on hand.

b . N M C S co v e r t i me s p e n t w aiti ng f o rrepair parts, chassis, assemblies and sub-as-s e m b l i e s , m a j o r c o m p o n e n t s , a n d c o m p o -
