IF IT AIN’T BROKE…


The 25th Transportation Company moved from an “every X months” preventive maintenance schedule to servicing vehicles as needed as part of an AMSAA study. Soldiers strengthened their ability to troubleshoot and repair precise problem areas instead of replacing whole parts, and the unit saved time and money.


by Mr. Kevin Guite S


oldiers performing preventive maintenance on their M4 carbines disassemble, inspect, clean and reassemble the many parts to ensure that their primary weapon will fire properly during close combat operations. Readiness plans for the hundreds of thousands of Army ground vehicles require just as much attention. Yet the process of performing preventive maintenance for Army vehicles is enor-


mously more complex.


Today’s vehicle systems are built with expensive components, electronics and subassemblies that demand prop- erly trained operators and maintenance personnel keenly aware of the performance of their vehicles. However, the man-hours, resources and costs needed to accomplish proper preventive maintenance for Army vehicles have led to concerns among the Army sustainment community over efficiency.


It’s the worst-kept secret in Army maintenance units that the Army has been over-maintaining its equipment and that its processes are not very efficient. However, the Army’s official policy gives little room to sidestep scheduled service responsibilities. Tose concerns about inflexible maintenance schedules led the Army G-4 to formally request that the U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) assess Army preven- tive maintenance policy, methodology and execution.


Te study, which ended in February 2018, examined traditional scheduled maintenance practices and poli- cies, focusing on current maintenance intervals and prescribed functions, and determined that, yes, preventive maintenance policy and execution could be greatly improved. Each of the Army’s more than 400,000 tacti- cal wheeled vehicles has a preventive maintenance requirement, so getting the process correct will pay huge dividends across the Army.
