Section II. PMCS
2-7. INTRODUCTION TO PMCS TABLE.
a.
Maintenance Forms and Records. Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There is not much of it,
but it must be kept up. The forms and records filled out have several uses. They are a permanent record of the
services, repairs, and modifications made on the vehicle. They are reports to unit maintenance and to your
commander. And they are a checklist to determine what is wrong with the vehicle after its last use, and whether
those faults have been fixed. For the information needed on forms and records, see DA PAM 738-750.
b.
General. Table 2-1 has been provided to assist in keeping the equipment in good operating condition.
c.
PMCS Procedures.

Item numbers also appear in the order that the checks and services must be done for the intervals listed.
(2)
Interval Column. This column tells when to do a certain check or service. BEFORE procedures must be

serviced.
(4)

intended mission or operation. The procedure must be done at the time stated in the Interval column.
(5)
Not Fully Mission Capable If: Column. Information in this column tells what faults will keep the equipment
from being capable of performing its primary mission. If you make check/service procedures that show
