Study Guide, Continued
Beginning Your Before you actually begin this course of study, read the student information
Course page. If you find any course materials missing, notify your training officer or
training NCO. If you have all the required materials, you are ready to begin.
To begin your course of study, familiarize yourself with the structure of the
course text. One way to do this is to read the table of contents. Notice the
table of contents covers specific areas of study and the order in which they are
presented. You will find the text divided into several study units. Each study
unit is comprised of two or more lessons and lesson exercises.
Leafing Leaf through the text and look at the course. Read a few lesson exercise
Through the questions to get an idea of the type of material in the course. If the course has
Text additional study aids, such as a handbook or plotting board, familiarize
yourself with them.
The First Study Turn to the first page of study unit 1. On this page, you will find an
Unit introduction to the study unit and generally the first study unit lesson. Study
unit lessons contain learning objectives, lesson text, and exercises.
Reading the Learning objectives describe in concise terms what the successful learner,
Learning you, will be able to do as a result of mastering the content of the lesson text.
Objectives Read the objectives for each lesson and then read the lesson text. As you read
the lesson text, make notes on the points you feel are important.
Completing the To determine your mastery of the learning objectives and text, complete the
Exercises exercises developed for you. Exercises are located at the end of each lesson,
and at the end of each study unit. Without referring to the text, complete the
exercise questions and then check your responses against those provided.
MCI Course 1326 vi

Continuing to Continue on to the next lesson, repeating the above process until you have
March completed all lessons in the study unit. Follow the same procedures for each
study unit in the course.
Preparing for To prepare for your final exam, you must review what you learned in the
the Final Exam course. The following suggestions will help make the review interesting and
challenging.
• CHALLENGE YOURSELF. Try to recall the entire learning sequence

without referring to the text. Can you do it? Now look back at the text to
see if you have left anything out. This review should be interesting.
Undoubtedly, you’ll find you were not able to recall everything. But with
a little effort, you’ll be able to recall a great deal of the information.
• USE UNUSED MINUTES. Use your spare moments to review. Read

your notes or a part of a study unit, rework exercise items, review again;
you can do many of these things during the unused minutes of every day.
• APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED. It is always best to use the

skill or knowledge you’ve learned as soon as possible. If it isn’t possible
to actually use the skill or knowledge, at least try to imagine a situation in
which you would apply this learning. For example make up and solve
your own problems. Or, better still, make up and solve problems that use
most of the elements of a study unit.
• USE THE “SHAKEDOWN CRUISE” TECHNIQUE. Ask another

Marine to lend a hand by asking you questions about the course. Choose
a particular study unit and let your buddy “fire away.” This technique can
be interesting and challenging for both of you!
• MAKE REVIEWS FUN AND BENEFICIAL. Reviews are good habits

that enhance learning. They don’t have to be long and tedious. In fact,
some learners find short reviews conducted more often prove more
beneficial.

STUDY UNIT 1
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
Overview
Introduction As the engineer chief, it is your duty to make sure the shop is well-organized
and functions effectively. Though most decisions are made at the command
level about how a shop is put together, sometimes you will have to make
these decisions. You must be able to set up and manage an effectively
functioning maintenance facility that will achieve the best results under any
conditions.
References Information that prescribes field site selection is found in the current edition
of FMFM 3-1, Command and Staff Action.
Scope This study unit includes the initial set up of maintenance administration and
the elements and resources that are used in this process. Engineer equipment
MOS training, how to reconcile and manage the MIMMS/AIS system, and
the importance of supervising maintenance records and forms will be
discussed as well.

Authorization Documents
Important Every unit has a specific mission it must perform, and each unit is allocated
Documents the necessary assets based upon their mission. The two documents listed
below lay out and dictate the unit’s organizational mission requirements,
structure, and the authorizations for personnel and equipment:
• Table of organization
• Table of equipment
Table of The table of organization (T/O) is established by Headquarters Marine Corps

Organization (HQMC). The T/O outlines a unit’s mission requirements, a description of
(T/O) the organizational structure, the manpower resources, and the echelons of
maintenance. T/Os indicate the maintenance authority of each unit based on
the capabilities, personnel and equipment rated, and careful consideration of
the unit’s wartime mission. All organizations shall perform only those
maintenance actions that are authorized by their T/O.
Table of HQMC also establishes the table of equipment (T/E). The T/E is a document
Equipment that lists the tools and equipment the unit is authorized and required to
(T/E) possess to accomplish its mission:
• Engineer equipment assets

• Logistical assets
• Test kits
• Tool kits
• Tool boxes

Maintenance System
Managing the The engineer chief is normally involved in numerous administrative matters
System pertaining to the management of the shop. As the maintenance manager, you
must always be aware what is going on. Keeping your resources in mind and
readily available is the best way to manage your maintenance system.
The Four There are four elements that make up the maintenance administration system:
Elements
• Command
• Resource
• Information
• Production
The table below is a basic breakdown of some common resources and where
they fall under the acronym CRIP:
Command Resource Information Production

Organization Time Records Preventive
Maintenance
Policies Personnel Reports Corrective
Maintenance
Procedures Parts and Supplies MIMMS/AIS Maintenance
Related Programs
Supervision Tools and Equipment Readiness Reporting Fabrication
Funds Facilities Publications

Maintenance System, Continued
The Command The command element represents the best interest of the unit organization as
Element it establishes and defines
• Command policy letters

• Command procedures for specific functions
• Subordinate supervision
• Funds
Commanders cannot be expected to have the same expertise as the technicians

and mechanics in all shops, but they should demonstrate enthusiasm and a
willingness to learn to keep the maintenance machine running efficiently.
The Resource The engineer chief is responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating,
Element supervising, and evaluating resources. Along with the maintenance
management officer (MMO), the engineer chief provides input for T/O and
T/E revisions and recommended changes.
Resources are the key element for any shop supervisor, although all the
elements of the maintenance system are important. Without resources,
nothing would get accomplished, i.e. you cannot fix equipment without tools.
The An engineer chief needs the necessary information to carry out and
Information accomplish the mission. There are several reports that are produced on a
Element daily basis that contain this information. However, the engineer chief relies
heavily on two types of information:
• Equipment Records. By analyzing equipment’s record, the chief can learn

the equipment’s history of past problems and major maintenance required.
This allows the chief to predict future serviceability.
• Reports. All the activity and transactions from the previous day’s work is
captured on various reports.
The chief looks at these reports each day to track the maintenance progression
and to identify any negative trends in the maintenance cycle. The Marine
Corps Integrated Maintenance Management System/Automated Information
System (MIMMS/AIS) generates these reports as a basis for entering and
tracking equipment in the maintenance cycle.

Maintenance System, Continued
The Production Production involves the actual physical performance of various maintenance
Element functions. This element includes activities such as equipment repair,
troubleshooting, equipment recovery, quality control and equipment
inspection, etc. Though most production is performed by organizational and
field level maintenance units, some production functions are performed only
at the depot level, such as major overhauls and chassis rebuilds.

Resources
Management The key to any successful operation is how well management plans,
coordinates, and organizes the functional areas of maintenance resources.
Management consists of those continuing actions of planning, organizing,
directing, coordinating, controlling, and evaluating the use of personnel,
money, materials, and facilities to accomplish mission and tasks.
As the engineer chief, you will spend most of your time managing your
resources.
Seven Areas The seven maintenance resources are
• Time
• Personnel
• Parts and supplies
• Tools and equipment
• Facilities
• Funds
• Publications
Time A mechanic's loss of production time can double or triple when they lack the
necessary tools, publications, parts, or skills to perform a job. It is the
engineer chief’s job to make sure that shortfalls do not interfere with the
mechanic’s ability to accomplish the mission or increase the time required to
do the job.
Personnel Personnel are your most precious asset! As the engineer chief, it is your
responsibility to make sure they are properly trained. You must decide which
approach to training is most appropriate for your mission. Your training
choices include the following:
• On-the-job training (OJT)

• Formal schools
• Mobile training teams (MTTs)
• MCIs (Marine Corps Institute occupational distance training courses)
The MMO is responsible for ensuring that maintenance management training

is included in the annual training plan.

Resources, Continued
Parts and Replacement and repair parts are crucial to the mission. Without these, you
Supplies cannot fix the equipment. Equipment that is sitting in short parts or awaiting
parts status for extended periods of time hurts unit readiness and prevents
mission accomplishment.
Secondary repairables are considered as well, including parts such as engines,

transmissions, starters, and pumps that are repaired by a higher echelon of
maintenance and returned to the supply system for use by field units.
For parts replacement, use an NAVMC 10925, Equipment Repair Order

Shopping/Transaction List (EROSL), commonly referred to as a 4-card to
requisition all repair/replacement parts and secondary repairables.
The pre-expended bin (PEB) is another source for parts replacement. It

stocks only high usage, fast moving items. The mechanic can draw parts such
as filters and other common hardware from the shop’s PEB, rather than
having to order them and wait for the supply system to deliver.

Tools and Another key maintenance resource is the support equipment and test
Equipment measurement diagnostic equipment (TMDE), including tool sets, kits, chests,
hoists, jacks, stands, and multimeters.
Part Function
Tool Control • The MMO establishes tool control by way of a policy letter to
ensure proper inventories and maintenance.
• Each shop must maintain and inventory numerous tools and

tool kits.
• Tool kits and boxes will have their own record jackets.
• Each tool room issues out the following items on a daily

basis:
• General mechanics tool boxes

• Equipment specific tools kits
• Common #2 tools
• Other special tools
• Each receiving individual must sign for each tool in a log

book or on an Equipment Custody Record (ECR) card.
• Periodic tool inspections must be performed for the safety of

personnel and equipment.
Calibration • The MMO establishes calibration control.
• Each shop ensures a calibration program is properly worked

and maintained. Calibration includes two steps:
• Establish a schedule for induction of each item into the

maintenance cycle for calibration.
• Assign a calibration status to each item.
Facilities The MMO is responsible for the location and size of shop facilities whether in
garrison or in the field. The size and location of the shop will depict how the
shop is laid out. Most of the time, you will walk into a shop that is already
established.

Publications The S-1/adjutant, supply officer, and the MMO are in charge of publications
control. In a commodity area, the supervisor is responsible for publications:
ordering, inventory control, and maintenance. For publications control, the
supervisor uses two types of inventories:
• Wall-to-wall inventory. Every publication is inventoried using the PL and

SL-1-2 to ensure all required publications are on hand to meet the mission.
• Update inventory. Superseded publications, changes, etc., are checked and

properly updated; library continues with proper updating and maintenance
of publications.
Funds In terms of hard dollars, budgets, or operating targets, the MMO and the
maintenance sections do not “see” funds directly; they submit a cost plan and
expenditures to the supply officer.
The amount of funding for a unit is determined when planning the fiscal year
budget for parts, tools, and other maintenance-related supplies.

Internal Inspections
Introduction Internal inspections are inspections conducted by the maintenance

management supervisor within each commodity to determine if the
maintenance and maintenance management programs are running effectively.
These inspections provide real-time feedback of the maintenance effort within
the unit and are used to identify and correct deficiencies that are uncovered
within any facet of the maintenance management program.
The reference that you will need to be familiar with to perform internal
inspections is the MCO P4790.2_.
Purpose An internal inspection is a valuable tool to determine your unit’s effectiveness

in its maintenance and maintenance management programs. An internal
inspection ensures the following:
• There is an acceptable state of material readiness.

• Planning and organization are sound.
• Staffs are functioning effectively.
• Directives are clear and understood.
• Standards are established to measure performance.
Directives Inspections are also a good tool to identify and educate your commodity
sections on the correct orders and directives that govern the maintenance and
maintenance management programs. It is imperative that each commodity
has a clear understanding of these orders and directives so the job is
performed correctly.
Inspection Inspections may be conducted in a variety of manners to accomplish different

Characteristics objectives. However, the following are characteristics common to good
inspections:
• Constructive
• Critical
• Objective
• Realistic and measurable standards

Internal Inspections, Continued
Constructive Since you are the expert, you will have to provide education/training when
the opportunity exists to those you are inspecting. Just telling a commodity
section what their discrepancies are will not help the situation. In most cases,
maintenance and maintenance management personnel will be eager to display
their best.
Critical Procedures and areas that appear to be without defect must be scrutinized
carefully so that accomplishment may be recognized and to determine if the
procedures could be useful elsewhere. The more critical your inspection is,
the more effective your unit will become.
Objective The inspection must be free of emotion and the interplay of personalities,
whether favorable or adverse, should not affect the outcome of the inspection.
Inspect each commodity section the same way. By conducting yourself in
this manner, you will always be seen as fair, consistent, and objective.
Realistic and The inspected commodity section must comprehend the weight given to the
Measurable inspection evaluation. These measurable standards are usually in the form of
Standards a checklist that you will provide to your commodities prior to the inspection.
This will allow you and your section to keep track during the inspection of
exactly what is being measured and to what standard. Most standards that can
be set will deal with performance in the different areas of the maintenance
management program.
Two Types There are two types of inspections that can be conducted within your unit:
• Formal
• Informal

Formal Formal inspections are announced in advance and a standard procedure for
the conduct of the inspection disseminated. A checklist will be prescribed
that can be used by the inspection team and the inspected unit to prepare for
the inspection. Such an inspection routine assures the commander of the
correction of many small faults or omissions that could otherwise fail to get
accomplished during normal operations.
Formal inspections become the primary activity of the inspected unit during
the inspection, with personnel and equipment being made available to the
fullest extent.
An example of a formal inspection would be a Logistics Modernization Team

(LMT) inspection. LMTs were formerly called a Marine Corps Logistics
Chain Analysis Team (MCLCATs), which were also called Field Supply and
Maintenance Analysis Office (FSMAO) inspections.
Informal Informal inspections may examine the unit or certain areas (commodity
section) of the unit’s activity to the same extent as a formal inspection or to
any lesser extent. The depth of this inspection will be up to you, the
maintenance manager. A spot-check inspection of equipment or personnel in
the conduct of routine operations is an example of the simplest of the
informal inspections. The helpful instructional aspect of the inspection
process may be more readily achieved when the informal inspection aspect is
stressed. Inspection checklists may be prescribed, either written or oral
reports may be rendered.
Informal inspections, though previously announced, are frequently conducted

simultaneously with and not in lieu of normal unit operations.
References When conducting internal inspections, review the following references:
• MMSOP
• Maintenance-related MCOs
• Maintenance management policy letters

MMSOP Your MMSOP will be one of the driving forces reviewed prior to inspecting.
It should include information on the standards and guidelines that your
commodity sections must adhere to when performing their job.
Maintenance- If your unit does not utilize a thorough MMSOP, always use the MCO
Related MCOs P4790.2 that will outline guidance on what should be inspected in each
commodity area.
Policy Letters Maintenance management policy letters are those letters that further define
certain aspects of things listed within your MMSOP. An example of a policy
letter is the establishment of the unit’s ERO matrices for each commodity
section. This additional information provides clarity to each section when
completing their job.
Inspection A commander must routinely prepare and use the inspection checklist during
Checklist the inspection of maintenance sections. An inspection checklist is useful both
for normal operations and in preparation for an inspection. The inspection
checklist is used by maintenance personnel to make a final check on
preparedness and to correct unresolved details.
Sources A good source for an inspection checklist is the Logistics Modernization

Teams (LMT) or higher headquarters. The LMT is the old
MCLCAT/FSMAO teams and would have the most up-to-date checklists that
are being used.
Uniformity A good inspection checklist ensures the uniform appraisal by all members of
an inspection team. The inspection checklist becomes the skeleton for the
inspection report, represents a logical sequence of facts, and provides
information for an analysis of the inspected unit.

Shop Sections
Functional A maintenance shop's actual layout varies from mission to mission, shop to
Areas shop, size, and location. Every maintenance shop is divided into four
functional sections:
• Administrative/Operations
• Administrative Section
• Services Section
• Maintenance Section
Shop Office The shop office operations section manages the overall conduct of
Operations maintenance and the various other functions within the shop:
Section
• Assign personnel in the shop.
• Maintain and schedule the flow of equipment.
• Ensure the economy of resources and the proper use of maintenance float.
• Ensure maintenance operations interface with maintenance programs.
• Establish and execute the shop safety program.
• Supervise and maintain training in the shop.
• Ensure proper MIMMS (Marine Corps Integrated Maintenance
Management System) transactions are submitted, and current and correct
statuses are entered in the MIMMS system via EROs.
Issue Point Many shops incorporate a parts storage/issue point. The issue point is vital
part of every shop.
• A required section for any functioning maintenance shop

• Located in a small shop or centralized in a larger command—for this
reason, it is not attached in the organizational flow chart on the next page.
• Controls parts issue and storage

Shop Sections, Continued
Administrative The administrative section performs the following tasks:

Section
• Receives and transfers equipment
• Researches technical data and issues tools
• Controls shop property
• Records and reports completed maintenance actions
Shipping and Shipping and receiving of the administration section does the following:
Receiving
• Performs equipment receipt and inspections
• Performs acceptance inspections
• Issues parts requests
• Stores parts
• Maintains equipment security
• Issues equipment to the using unit
• Returns equipment to the customer
Organizational An organizational flow chart of the various shop sections is shown below:

Shop Office
Operations
Section
Layettes/ PEB Issue

Point
Administrative Section Services Maintenance

Section Section

Technical The technical library of the administration section does the following:
Library
• Identifies and controls the technical publications for each piece of
equipment in the unit. These publications cover maintenance, parts, and
modifications of the equipment.
• Updates publication library listings, providing direct assistance to
maintenance personnel researching parts.
Tool Room The tool room of the administration section does the following:
• Issues, repairs, and replaces tools and test equipment

• Keeps up-to-date inventories on all tools and test equipment
• Provides security for all tools and test equipment
Shop Supply The shop supply of the administration section does the following:
• Maintains equipment repair order (ERO) bins (layette bins) and pre-
expended bins
• Requisitions lubricants, rags, and other consumables

Maintenance The maintenance section performs the actual maintenance. You should
Section organize this section as dictated by your heaviest mission. The most common
way to organize a shop is by function and equipment:
• Function. Separate into preventative maintenance, corrective

maintenance, and modifications sections, etc.
• Equipment. Separate by equipment type i.e. tracked, cranes, and forklifts.
Contact Teams Sometimes you cannot deliver equipment to a central shop for maintenance.
Perhaps the equipment is too large or set up in a distant location, such as
generators and cranes. For such cases, it is more practical to send a
maintenance team, known as a contact team, to the equipment. Contact teams
are useful because they
• Bring mechanics and parts to the inoperable equipment/job site more

quickly than the equipment could be brought to a maintenance facility.
• Save time that would be required to transport the equipment to the

maintenance facility.
• Increase equipment readiness.
Storage and The storage and issue of repair parts if controlled by the maintenance section.
Issue A secured area is required to control the actual issue of parts. Large parts,
such as exhaust systems, belly pans, and drive shafts, can be tagged and
stored in a designated location if space is limited. Functions of the issue point
include
• Maintaining a copy of the EROSL for each ERO in a tub file
• Personnel who are issued parts must sign for them by the EROSOL part(s)
number
• Picking up parts, following-up on part orders, returning parts not used to

supply (rollback), and validating with supply

Field Site Selection
Four Physical Now that your shop sections are organized, the next process is to select a site
Characteristics for field maintenance operations. Selecting a field maintenance site requires
evaluation of four physical characteristics:
• Terrain and environment

• Tactical situation
• Size and mission of the unit
• Maintenance requirements dictated by the mission
S-1 In the using units, the maintenance area is normally within the limits of the
Responsibility unit's command post. The S-1, which is responsible for selecting all sites in
the compound, determines the location of a unit's maintenance facilities.
G-3/S-3 The unit's G-3/S-3, assisted by the MMO (maintenance management officer),
Responsibility selects the maintenance area for major and force level commands within the
logistics areas.
Note: The logistics/maintenance areas are normally separated from the major
or force level command post.
Four Factors There are four factors pertinent to selecting a command post site when you
are selecting a maintenance field site:
• Space requirements
• Terrain
• Accessibility
• Location

Field Site Selection, Continued
Space Congestion in a maintenance area impairs efficiency and safety. A

Requirements maintenance area should be large enough to permit safe dispersion of
equipment and provide adequate space for repairs.
Terrain The terrain for a maintenance field site should
• Offer concealment from ground and air observation.

• Favor defense against air and ground attacks.
• Facilitate local security.
• Have a hard stand.
• Have access to roads and water for vehicles and equipment.
Accessibility When considering the accessibility of a field maintenance site, consider

access routes that
• Avoid congested areas.

• Are convenient to users of the maintenance facilities.
• Easily accessible to supported units.
• Provide the most effective means of safe evacuation.
• Allow resupply to occur efficiently.
Location A maintenance area should be positioned to allow each maintenance section

to effectively perform its mission. A maintenance area of support
maintenance units should be located far enough from supported combat
elements to allow continuity of maintenance operations. Also it should be
located in close proximity to other logistic elements of the unit to enable the
use of common facilities and services.

Area Layout
Advising The maintenance management officer (MMO) advises the commander and the
staff on the following:
• Assignment of facilities
• Placement of shops
• Distribution of utilities
• Priority of installation within the maintenance area
The MMO also establishes a position of common services, such as welding,

avoiding duplication of effort when possible.
Responsibilities The MMO, commander, and staff play key roles in establishing the overall
layout. Maintenance management will coordinate the organization of the
maintenance area with unit staff officers applying thirteen principles. The
engineer officer and the engineer chief manage their respective facilities.

Area Layout, Continued
Thirteen Apply the following 13 principles when laying out a maintenance area:
Principles
Principle Description
Facilities Assign facilities according to equipment size, density, and
anticipated work load.
Working Areas Decide which equipment to position inside and outside the
compound—tracked vehicle maintenance should be
performed outside the compound to cause less damage to
the maintenance area. Take into consideration compound
drainage when assigning outside work and storage areas.
Centralize Conserve utilities by centralizing services. Think about
Services the needs of your shops as you lay out the maintenance
area. For example, locate shops with common
requirements for extensive electrical power so that a

LESSON 2
ENGINEER EQUIPMENT MOS TRAINING
Introduction
Scope The purpose of Marine Corps training is to attain and maintain the state of
operational readiness required to conduct combat and other operations in
accordance with assigned missions. To accomplish this, training must
prepare individual Marines, teams, and units to perform assigned tasks and
other duties at the desired level of proficiency. This lesson covers individual
training requirements, individual training standards, components of an ITS,
elements of training, and training records.
Realism in Ideally, training should be as realistic as possible, conducted under simulated

Training combat conditions. To achieve this, use simulated scenarios with full 782
gear and small training areas to conduct this type of training. Remember, the
peacetime mission of the Marine Corps is to prepare for war!

Objectives
• Define the components of individual training standards (ITS).
• Identify the four essential elements of a training program.
Topic See Page

Introduction 1-31
Training Requirements 1-32
Individual Training Standard (ITS) 1-33
Components of an ITS 1-34
Elements of Training 1-36
Individual Training Record (ITR) 1-38

Training Requirements
Criteria The Marine Corps establishes training requirements that set criteria for each
individual Marine. These training requirements are stated in the form of a
task statement known as an individual training standard (ITS). The ITS
prescribes the individual tasks a Marine must perform for the unit to
successfully perform its mission. They are derived from the Marine Corps
Combat Readiness and Evaluation System Mission Performance Standards
(MCCRES MPSs).
Reference and All individual and collective training conducted by units in the operating
Guidance forces and supporting establishments must be according to the training
management (TM) principles established by Unit Training Management
Guide, FMFM 0-1 and FMFM 0-1A.

Individual Training Standard (ITS)
Purpose The individual training standard (ITS) establishes the training standards for
all Marines in the same occupational field (OccFld), military occupational
specialty (MOS), or billet. They provide a foundation upon which unit
commanders, functional learning center (FLC) directors, and distance
learning (DL) developers build training packages for individual Marines as
part of unit training plans or formal courses of instruction.
Note: The ITS represents the skills that contribute to the unit mission as
expressed in the mission performance standards (MPS).
Unit The ITS is used by unit commanders, FLC directors, and DL developers to
Commanders design, develop, conduct, and evaluate the individual training of Marines.
Unit commanders are responsible for the sustainment of all individual tasks
that have been deemed, through analysis, to support the unit’s mission
essential task list (METL). Therefore, unit commanders can use the tasks
contained in this order as the basis of individual training through managed
on-the-job training (MOJT), instruction in unit-level schools, or incorporation
in their training plans. FLC directors and DL developers will derive terminal
learning objectives (TLO) and enabling learning objectives (ELO) from the
tasks, conditions, standards, and performance steps of each associated ITS.
Task lists reported on course descriptive data (CDD) submissions will consist
of tasks contained in this order that are designated for training at the
appropriate level in the FLC. Task lists reported on distance learning
descriptive data (DLDD) submissions will consist of tasks contained in this
order that are designated for DL training at the appropriate level.
Unit commanders and FLC directors are responsible for reviewing their
training programs per reference and making interventions that reduce risk to
acceptable levels.

Components of an ITS
Elements There are six elements of an ITS—five of which are mandatory:
• Task
• Condition
• Standards
• Performance steps
• References
• Administrative instruction (optional)
Task Task describes a specific and necessary behavior expected of a Marine in a

particular MOS or billet. It is a clearly stated, performance-oriented action
requiring a learned skill. Skills that make a Marine or qualify that Marine for
an MOS are designated as “core.” Those advanced skills that are mission,
grade, or billet specific are designated as “core plus.”
Example: Provided a Preventative Maintenance Roster (NAVMC 10561),

descriptive date—with the aid of references, review the NAVMC
10561 for accuracy IAW the references.
Condition Condition describes the equipment, manuals, assistance/supervision, special

physical demands, environmental conditions, and location affecting a
Marine’s performance of the task under real-world circumstances.

Standards Standards describe the level of proficiency to which the individual must
perform the task.


Components of an ITS, Continued
Performance Performance steps represent the logical sequence of actions required of the
Steps Marine to perform the task to standard. These actions are typically detailed in
the references.
References References are doctrinal publications, technical manuals, and other

publications upon which the ITS and its performance steps are based. They
should be readily available and provide detail to the procedures that are only
summarized in the performance steps.
Administrative Administrative instructions provide the trainer/instructor with special required

Instructions or recommended circumstances, including safety precautions, relating to the
(Optional) training or execution of the task. These instructions may also clarify the
meaning of the task.

Elements of Training
Formal Schools Training for engineer operator and maintenance billets are usually based on
course materials issued by the formal schools. Although these materials do a
good job of reinforcing skills Marines learned at the formal school, they often
become outdated as new engineer items are introduced into the fleet. Until
the formal schools can update their course materials to reflect the latest
equipment, you must fill this gap with training at your level.
Essential The four essential elements of training are listed below:

Elements
• Personnel
• Equipment
• Area and facilities
• Imagination
Personnel Routinely, you will have your Marines performing other mission essential
tasks during training times, so don't despair when only half of your strength
falls out for the training.
Do the best you can with those who can attend! Train all personnel who are
present. Make it the best training possible. This benefits those present and
makes others want to be trained in the future.
Remember that lack of personnel is not an excuse for inadequate training.

Many battles have been won without full strength platoons.
Equipment Break out your equipment at every opportunity. Make your training as
realistic as possible. Make sure your Marines get plenty of training
experience on their equipment.
Area and Some units have much better locations than others. The key is to use what
Facilities you have available. Network to find areas you can use for training. Good
places to start are your battalion S-3 and the range control.
For convenience, keep training areas within walking distance. Make the field
your classroom. When possible carry the chalkboard with you and make the
training realistic by using several means of delivery.

Elements of Training, Continued
Imagination Structure challenging training for your Marines by using all the elements;
your Marines, the equipment, the training area, and imagination. Marines
want a challenge! Make sure to give them one or they will seek it elsewhere.
Stop talking and do it!
Use your imagination to select training areas and situations that pose realistic
problems for your Marines to overcome. For instance, train at night when
visibility is a challenge or train in the mud when recovery becomes a
necessity. Under such realistically challenging conditions, your Marines will
learn and become better at operations and maintenance. Such exercises make
them solve problems under pressure and develop leadership skills

Individual Training Record (ITR)
Purpose The individual training record (ITR) is used to document all individual
training completed by the each Marine in the section/unit. It contains
essential training data such as weapons training, battle skills testing, physical
fitness testing and education.
Monitoring Ideally, the Marine’s squad leader makes the entries in each Marine’s ITR
because he is in daily contact with the Marine. The platoon sergeant or
training NCO supervises the accuracy and timeliness of the entries in the ITR
and keeps the engineer chief informed. The engineer chief should screen the
ITR on a quarterly basis to gather information on training and performance
shortfalls. Then, the chief can schedule future training.
Training Marines can be trained in different ways. Setting up a simple training

program “by the book” can help the efficiency of your shop.
• Consider using ITRs in your training program.

• Assign a training NCO in writing.
• Provide your training NCO with proper references and guidance.

Daily Processing Report 1-42
Daily Transaction Listing 1-48
Weekly Owning Unit TAM Report 1-52
Weekly Maintenance Exceptions Report 1-55

Daily Processing Report
Purpose The purpose of the daily processing report (DPR) is to provide a complete
history of an item in the maintenance cycle. This will be the most analyzed
report by the engineer chief. It will allow you to track and verify all
maintenance actions that are taking place within your shop.
Description The DPR provides maintenance managers at all levels visibility of active
equipment repair orders (EROs) in their shops.
EROs that have had action taken will be indicated by two asterisks (**) to the
left of the ERO number. This will enable the user to identify items in the
maintenance cycle that have had work performed on the day prior from those
that do not have work performed.
Trends Some of the common trends found on the DPR are listed below:
• Category code does not coincide with the priority (i.e. category code M
with PRI 13)
• Priority of the ERO does not match any of the part requisitions
• Category codes and priorities do not match current F/AD
• Match defect codes against equipment ordered
• Excessive days in shop without upgrading/downgrading
• ERO open and no parts on order
• Incorrect job status listed
• Too high of priority used to order routine parts
• Incorrect category code used
Header The header information on the DPR is read from left to right and is broken
down into three lines and several columns. The table that follows provides
information on the description of those lines and columns. Remember, the
DPR lists only equipment that is undergoing maintenance.

performed.
ORF Operational readiness float indicator. A Y code in this field
indicates the unit desires an ORF replacement item. If an ORF
exchange is required, the RDD must also have been entered.
An N code indicates an ORF replacement item is not desired.
EOT The equipment operational time code. The code, extracted from the
ID standards file, identifies the primary operating mode for the item
of equipment, such as miles, hours, days, or rounds.
CLOS The close flag. A code of NO indicates that the ID number/serial
number of the record did not match an NSN/serial number on the
SASSY reporting unit allowance file (RUAF). The record cannot be
closed until the NO flag is removed by corrective action. Blanks
indicate either a match or no edit.

Second Line The table below provides the items listed on the DPR and a description of
Information each:
Line Description
AWTG-STAT The status of the equipment prior to being inducted into the
maintenance cycle or once maintenance has been completed.
DEST-ACC The destination account activity code (AAC) to which the equipment
is being evacuated for repairs.
JOB-STATUS Reflects the actions that occurred on the equipment and the date each
action was initiated.
PARTS The accumulated parts charges for those parts which have been
CHARGE obtained. Non-system parts charges are input via the 9 transaction.
SASSY parts computed during system processing.
ECH The echelon of maintenance. These codes indicate the echelon
performing the required maintenance such as 1 or 2 (organic) 3 or 4
(intermediate).
QTY The quantity of equipment.
X-EROS Displays two intershop/interechelon EROs for an item of equipment.
These ERO numbers reference EROs of different maintenance
activities.
MARES/DAT The MARES logistics readiness indicator. A machine generated
E code which identifies the type of LM-2 readiness transaction that has
been prepared for an ERO and the date of the transaction.
DEFECT The interpretation of the defect code used in the input transaction.
The first part of the interpretation relates to the first character of the
defect code, and the second part of the interpretation relates to the
second and third characters of the defect code.
DDL Displays days deadlined. The total number of days the equipment
has been in a deadline status. This is the sum of the current
processing date minus the DCD or the accumulated category M days
deadlined.
DIS Days in shop. The total number of days the equipment has been in
the maintenance shop. This is the sum of the current processing date
minus the DRIS.
OWNER The activity address code of the unit that owns the equipment.

Third Line The table below provides the items listed on the daily processing report and a
Information description of each:
Line Description
RCVD This column serves two purposes:
• When an item is received and the receipt is processed, the date

of receipt is posted.
•
When a cancellation request has been inducted for an item, the
letters CANC are posted. If the column is blank, it indicates
the parts record is open.
DOCUMENT # The unit document number used for repair parts requisitioned or the
applicable modification instruction number. When a secondary
reparable is issued over the counter to the customer by the
maintenance float, the document number of the maintenance float is
reflected. When a secondary reparable is back-ordered to the
customer by the maintenance float, the document number of the
using unit is reflected.
U/I The unit of issue of the item requisitioned.
QTY The quantity of material requisitioned.
PRI The priority of the requisition. The priority of the requisition may
not exceed the priority of the ERO; however, parts may be
requisitioned on a lower priority.
PART-NSN The national stock number (NSN) or local stock number (LSN) of
the part requisitioned.
PART-NAME The nomenclature of the item requisitioned.
STAT The current status on the requisition. The status code is a two-digit
code that indicates the status of the requisition at the supply source.
When shipping status has been provided to the unit, the mode of
shipment code is reflected. The mode of shipment code is a one-
digit code that identifies the means by which the item is being
shipped to the unit. Supply status and mode of shipment codes are
contained in the UM 4790-5.
DATE The date on which the status was posted to the unit's records at the
SASSY Management Unit (SMU).
DIC/EXPT The type of status being provided. The type of status is identified
(TYPE) by a document identifier code (DIC). DICs are contained in UM-
4400-123. An exception is generated when a transaction processes
against the unit's loaded unit balance file and conditions are present
that caused the exception to be created. Exception codes are
contained in UM-4400-123. When a transaction fails to pass the
master edit process in SASSY and is reflected from processing, the
letters “REJ” are entered in the “TYPE” column.

Third Line
Information,

Line Description
NMCS Not mission capable supply indicator. When the item undergoing
repairs is readiness-reportable, or, in the opinion of the
commander, it is mission essential impacting unit readiness, and
the item being requisitioned is required to move the equipment
from deadline or anticipated deadline, enter the NMCS indicator as
follows:
• N is for a NMCS requisition.

• E is for (anticipated) NMC.
• 9 is for expedited action (the code for a NMCS “999” entry).
Note: These codes are reflected on the 4-Cards submitted for the
item being requisitioned in card columns 67–68.
LKH The last known holder of the transaction. The routing identifier
codes for the last known holders are contained in the current
edition of UM-4400-123. When LKH is identified as “FLT,” this
indicates the maintenance float is the supply source for the item.
Note: An additional guide to assist in referencing codes is available

from MCLB Albany. Request a customer assistance
handbook, eleventh edition, 1993.
ADV Advice code. MIMMS advice codes tell the MIMMS system
information which is relative to the processing of the requisition.

Daily Transaction Listing
Purpose The daily transaction listing (DTL) is a tool that assists the chief in
troubleshooting the print DPR quickly. It provides high visibility of input
transactions that were accepted or rejected into MIMMS/AIS.
MIMMS/AIS The DTL is divided into three sections:

Feedback
• Transactions processed with no errors
• Transactions processed with non-critical errors
• Transactions that did not process
When your MIMMS clerk or supply clerk (maintenance person designated)

inputs the information into the system, the transactions will be printed in one
of these sections.
Identifying Remember, a transaction is made of 80 characters commonly known as card

Information columns (CCs). The DTL depicts these CCs across the top of each page.
For instance, the first card column always identifies the type of transaction,
such as “0,” “3,” “4,” or “9.” The last CC identifies whether it is an add or
change transaction, such as “A” or “C.” Computer-generated transactions
are also depicted in the last CC. The ERO number (five characters) is
always placed in CCs 2–6 for any type of transaction. Therefore, it is very
easy to identify and locate a transaction on the DTL.

Daily Transaction Listing, Continued
Example Under the section of transactions that did not process, the third transaction,
8ZZF12, had an error code of 032. This error code describes the document
number on the input transaction did not match an existing document number
for the associated ERO. Corrective action would be to validate the document
number and resubmit the transaction.
As the engineer chief, make sure that these types of validations occur for all
transactions that do not process. Below are examples of the three sections
that a transaction can process under:

First Section Transactions that processed with no errors appear in this section.
Second Section If there is a non-critical error, the transactions appear under the section
“Transactions Processed With Noncritical Errors.” This means the
transaction processed, but there was a minor mistake on the input.
Third Section If the transaction had a critical error, it appears under “Transaction That Did
Not Process.” These transactions were not allowed to process and were
completely rejected.
Identify Error An error code is printed to the immediate right of the transaction under the
Codes column labeled “Error Codes.”
Error codes are described in chapter 24 of the UM 4790-5. From the error
codes, the MIMMS or supply clerk knows the specific elements where the
error exists and the type of error within that field.

Correcting The MIMMS clerk must submit the necessary changes/corrections for input
Errors errors as soon as possible. The maintenance chief will ensure that this is
being accomplished. The table below provides a breakdown of the three
types of transactions on the Daily Transaction Listing and the corrective
procedures:
If the transactions were… Then you need to...

Processed with no errors Do nothing.
Processed with non-critical Correct a noncritical error by following the
errors corrective action measure provided in UM
4790-5 and submit a “0/C” transaction.
Not processed. These Identify the error code and follow the
transactions were not corrective action provided in the UM-4790-5
allowed to process. They and resubmit immediately. Remember, in
were rejected completely. some cases you may be required to submit
another type of transaction based on the
corrective action procedures provided.
Note: If any associated transactions are submitted at the same time of an

“O/A” (O/Add) or an “O/T” (O Transfer) transaction that had critical
errors, it will also be rejected.
Additionally, a "4 card" transaction rejected for an incorrect ERO

number, document number, or NSN will cause rejections for
associated “5,” “7,” or “8” transactions submitted at the same time.
Use The DTL is used to validate input to MIMMS/AIS. The MIMMS clerk
matches the previous day’s input transactions to the DTL. You must monitor
this report to ensure a corrected transaction is promptly resubmitted. In
addition to constant monitoring, you must also train your Marines to
minimize processing errors. Remember, the ideal DTL is the one that reads
“Processed With No Errors.”

Weekly Owning Unit TAM Report
Purpose The weekly owning unit table of authorized materials (TAM) report identifies
trends by commodity, echelon, days on deadline, and job status.
Description The TAM report is produced weekly. It groups TAMs, serial numbers, and
all active EROs within a unit as well as organizational maintenance with the
latest job status displayed.
Use The information concerning EROs at intermediate maintenance allows you to

view the status of your equipment:
If… Then check to see if

ERO indicates the job status “EVC A higher echelon ERO exists
HECH”
No higher echelon ERO exists • Job status is wrong
• Difficulty getting the equipment
to the higher echelon shop
• Higher echelon refused it
• Higher echelon possibly ran an
“O/A” transaction instead of an
“O/T” transaction
Trends Trends that can be found on the TAM report are listed below:
• Excessive days deadlined by the TAM report

• Category code M to days deadlined
• Category code to priority incorrect
• Defect code misuse
• Use of defect code to identify trend of defect by the TAM report

forms pertaining to ground equipment operation and maintenance.
UM-4790-5 UM 4790-5, MIMMS (AIS) Field Maintenance Procedures, describes how to

complete forms and records. It provides problem-solving and trouble-
shooting procedures for each form.

Equipment Records
Introduction On a weekly basis, the engineer chief should review the preparation and
disposition of various records and forms to ensure entries are valid.
Record Jackets Each major end item of equipment must have a record jacket to provide a
basis for neat and orderly record keeping. Most Marine Corps units use a
standard bi-fold or tri-fold folder for setting up equipment record jackets.
Required Include the items listed below in the record jacket:

Elements
• NAVMC 696D, Motor Vehicle and Engineer Record Folder
• NAVMC 10524, Consolidated Engineer Equipment Operational Log and

Service Record, also referred to as “con log”
• NAVMC 10523, Engineer Equipment Operational Record, also referred to

as “trip ticket”
• NAVMC 10560, Worksheet for Preventive Maintenance and Technical

Inspection for Engineer Equipment, also referred to as “LTI”

NAVMC 696D
Purpose The NAVMC 696D, Motor Vehicle and Engineer Equipment Record Folder
is used to maintain a historical record of the equipment’s transfer, receipts,
modifications, and major assembly replacements. It also serves as a file
folder for completed forms and records.
Responsibilities Maintain a NAVMC 696D on each item of motor transport, engineer, and
garrison mobile equipment. In cases where items of equipment are under one
TAM control number, but are associated with standard items of other
commodity equipment, maintain a separate record folder for that specific
commodity item IAW TM 4700-15/1_.
However, both records will reflect the Marine Corps registration number,
chassis serial number, TAM control number, NSN, and ID number of the
TAM as a single entity.
Establishment The Marine Corps Logistic Base (MCLB) that first receives the item of
equipment will establish the NAVMC 696D. MCLB will enter the
descriptive data and any modifications accomplished while the equipment is
under their cognizance and control.
When units other than the MCLB receive the item of equipment direct from
the manufacturer or the NAVMC 696D is lost, that unit will be responsible
for establishing the NAVMC 696D.
When establishing or reconstructing a NAVMC 696D, use the establishment

or reconstruction date in a five-digit Julian date (YYDDD).
The custodian is responsible for keeping the entries in the NAVMC 696D up-
to-date while the item of equipment is in the custodian’s custody.
Note: When engineer equipment has more than one power plant, maintain
NAVMC 10523 and 10524 on each power plant.

NAVMC 696D, Continued
Components The following forms must be maintained inside the equipment record jacket,
NAVMC 696D:
• NAVMC 10245, Equipment Repair Order (ERO) once it is completed

and closed out of the MIMMS system.
• Load test results until the completion of the next successful load test.
Maintain only the most recent load test results.
• Condition inspection record until the successful completion of the next

inspection. Maintain only the most recent inspection results.
• NAVMC 10523, Engineer Equipment Operational Record for a

minimum of 30 days.
• One current NAVMC 10524, Engineer Equipment Operation Log and

Service Record. When the form is full, transfer cumulative totals to the
replacement form.
• Any other pertinent information that might need to be referenced in the

future for that particular item of equipment.
Preparation The descriptive data of the item of equipment will appear on the top of the
Instructions NAVMC 696D when it is received by the using unit. Make entries in the
transfer, modification, and major unit assembly replacement record portion
each time the item is received, transferred from one reporting unit allowance
file (RUAF) to another, modified, or a major assembly was replaced. The
account serial number column refers to the owning unit activity code of the
unit having custody of the item of equipment when the entry is made.
Tactical wreckers and garrison mobile equipment (GME) wreckers require an
annual condition inspection per MCO PI 1262.2, and the results must be filed
inside the NAVMC 696D.
Note: For a detailed description on how to fill out the NAVMC 696D, refer
to TM4700-15/1_, page 2-14-1.

NAVMC 696D, Continued
Filing Maintain the NAVMC 696D in the administrative office of the custodian of
the item of equipment concerned or as designated by the commanding officer.
When the face of the NAVMC 696D becomes full, initiate a new one and
retain the full one inside the new NAVMC 696D.
Disposition When the item of equipment is transferred, forward the NAVMC 696D by
certified mail with the invoice (not forwarded with the item of equipment)
upon each change of custody of the item of equipment. When both shipping
and receiving units are in the same vicinity, the NAVMC 696D may be hand-
delivered. When the item of equipment is determined unserviceable and a
letter of unserviceable property (LUP) is received, destroy all records.
Sample Below is a sample NAVMC 696D:

NAVMC 10524
Purpose The purposes of the NAVMC 10524, Engineer Equipment Operation Log and
Service Record are listed below:
• Authority for an operator to operate engineer equipment on an assigned

mission. A duplicate NAVMC 10524 may be prepared and issued to the
operator instead of a daily NAVMC 10523, Engineer Equipment
Operational Record when equipment is operated at a project site for
extended periods; e.g. a well drill, generator, or an air compressor.
• The operator with a checklist for conducting before, during, and after
preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS).
• A means for recording mileage and hours for equipment operation so that
PMCS may be scheduled and petroleum, oil, and lubrications (POL)
consumption determined.
• A template for indicating required operator daily PMCS listed on the

NAVMC 10523.
Note: A NAVMC 10524 does not need to be prepared on equipment when an

ERO/SRO has been submitted and equipment is operated from local
equipment pool area to the maintenance shop.
Responsibilities The engineer chief is responsible for the following:
• Section A is updated after completion of a second echelon of maintenance

or higher scheduled or unscheduled PMCS.
• NAVMC 10561, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services Roster is

updated after completion of a second echelon of maintenance or higher
scheduled or unscheduled PMCS.
• Any required PMCS is accomplished before the equipment is dispatched.
• Any required corrective maintenance is accomplished before the

equipment is dispatched.

NAVMC 10560
Purpose The NAVMC 10560, Worksheet for Preventive Maintenance and Technical
Inspection is a worksheet for preventive maintenance and technical inspection
for engineer equipment. It provides a checklist for performing and recording
PMCS and limited technical inspections (LTIs), to include acceptance LTIs,
LTIs prior to major repair, and LTIs at the discretion of the engineer
equipment officer/chief on tactical engineer equipment and GME fleet
manager on garrison mobile engineer equipment. The NAVMC 10560 is also
used as a guide when performing an annual safety/condition check.
Preparation The engineer chief is responsible for preparing the worksheet for the PMCS.
Instructions
Prepare a template indicating the required PMCS for each item of equipment.
In preparing the template, refer to the appropriate services listed in the TMs,
Army technical bulletins, and other publications applicable to the equipment.
By laying the template for a specific item of equipment on a blank NAVMC
10560, non-applicable portions of the form may be readily blanked out. The
worksheet, which indicates the required services, is then transmitted to the
maintenance unit. The maintenance unit, with the assistance of the operator,
performs the required services and signs the worksheet indicating the service
has been completed.
The engineer chief will also ensure that equipment requiring repairs is
inspected and the results of the inspection are recorded on the NAVMC
10560 before the equipment is repaired.
The preparing activity may be the equipment owner or the equipment user.
For example, the equipment is on temporary loan or the equipment custodian
in the maintenance section is evacuating to the next higher EOM. The
preparing activity is responsible for initial preparation of the NAVMC 10560.
For a detailed description on how to fill out the NAVMC 10560, refer to
TM4700-15/1_, page 2-22-1.
Note: An LTI performed by maintenance personnel upon receipt of

equipment prior to the unit placing the equipment in service to
determine the overall condition is called an acceptance LTI.

Filing and When the engineer officer/chief has verified that all requirements listed in
Disposition section B of the worksheet have been transferred to an ERO/SRO, the
NAVMC 10560 will be destroyed. Retain any NAVMC 10560 used in
conjunction with an investigation until released from investigation. Treat a
NAVMC 10560 released from investigation as corrective maintenance (CM).

NAVMC 10245
Purpose The purpose of the NAVMC 10245, Equipment Repair Order (ERO) is to
request modification, calibration, corrective maintenance (CM), preventive
maintenance checks and services (PMCS), and limited technical inspection
(LTI) on all ground equipment within the unit’s organic maintenance
capability.
The ERO is used for transmitting work to higher echelons of maintenance

(EOM) and for recording and reporting the maintenance performed.
Maintenance personnel will use an ERO in all instances where maintenance
resources, repair parts, or secondary repairable items are required to perform
requested maintenance.
Use An ERO is required when
• Requesting maintenance for second through fourth EOM

• In conjunction with the equipment repair order shopping list (EROSL) to
requisition SL-3 components
• Reporting an end item of equipment sent to depot level maintenance
(fifth EOM)
• Transmitting test measurement diagnostic equipment (TMDE) into the
calibration lab
However, do not use of an ERO when
• Total labor hours are less than 0.3 hours

• Total parts cost is less than $25 and the parts do not have to be
requisitioned
• Requesting or recording either operator maintenance (first EOM) or
depot level maintenance (fifth EOM)
Note: All units, whether preparing a second EOM ERO or not, are required
to establish a second EOM record in MIMMS/AIS for TMDE
transmitted work for calibration or third EOM.

Preparing The preparing activity responsibilities are

Activity
• Completing the ERO in accordance with TM 4700-15/1_
• May be the equipment owner, the equipment user; e.g. the equipment is
on temporary loan or the equipment custodian as in the case of the
maintenance section evacuating to the next higher EOM
• Initial preparation of an ERO to include completion of the heading and
description of work to be performed
• Filling out the “Description of Work” block by both the preparing activity
and maintenance section
Maintenance The maintenance section will receipt for the equipment by completing the
Section “Accepted By,” “Date” (DRIS), and “ERO No.” blocks and those other
blocks as indicated in the instructions. The maintenance section will enter
information on work performed as maintenance actions are completed and
close out the ERO.
• When the maintenance section needs to evacuate the equipment to the
next higher EOM, the maintenance section will prepare a new ERO,
completing those items required of the preparing activity and using its
ERO number as the request number.
• When an end item of equipment requires second EOM or higher, the
equipment owner will prepare a second EOM ERO completing those
items required of the preparing activity.
• When an end item of equipment requires repair beyond second EOM, the
maintenance section providing second EOM will prepare a third EOM
ERO completing those items required of the preparing activity.
• When an end item of equipment requires repair beyond third EOM, the
maintenance section providing third EOM will prepare a fourth EOM
ERO completing those items required of the preparing activity.
• When a secondary reparable item requires repair, the maintenance section
requesting the repair will prepare a third EOM ERO completing those
items required of the preparing activity. When the ERO is prepared, the
maintenance section will evacuate the item to the maintenance section
providing third EOM via the reparable issue point (RIP).

Preparation For a detailed description on how to fill out the NAVMC 10245, refer to
Instructions TM4700-15/1_, page 2-2-1.
Sample Below is a sample NAVMC 10245 form:

NAVMC 10925
Purpose The NAVMC 10925, Equipment Repair Order Shopping List (EROSL) is a
dual purpose form. It serves as the ERO shopping list and a MIMMS data
input form. Use the EROSL in conjunction with the ERO to requisition,
receipt for, cancel, and record partial issues and credits of repair parts and
secondary repairable items associated with ground equipment undergoing
repair. To simplify data input, all required MIMMS input transactions may
be placed on the EROSL.
Header Section The procedures below are for processing a “4” card transaction for a parts
requisition. There are other maintenance-related cards, but this one

NAVMC 10561
Purpose The NAVMC 10561, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PM
Roster) is used to systematically schedule and record second EOM and higher
preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) on Marine Corps
ground equipment. Units are authorized to schedule PMCS via locally
developed automated programs, providing it duplicates the information on the
NAVMC 10561.
Responsibilities The responsibility for scheduling all required second EOM and higher PMCS
rests with the engineer officer, engineer chief, or appointed individual or
individuals. The chief ensures all equipment is scheduled for PCMS at least
annually.
Scheduling Each roster has instructions on the back how to fill it out. Make all
permanent entries in ink and all temporary entries in pencil. The following
are some examples on how to schedule PCMS:
• Schedule second EOM and higher PMCS per the equipment commodity
chapter of TM 4700-15/1_. This does not relieve the unit from its
responsibility to conduct first EOM PMCS. In preparing rosters, care
must be taken to ensure the workload is staggered so that all items of one
type of equipment are not scheduled for PMCS at the same time.
• Schedule PMCSs at least monthly.
• Maintain at least one active scheduled interval and one interval under
preparation (used to schedule the next PMCS). Upon completion of a
PMCS, schedule the next PMCS. Schedules for current and the upcoming
year may be maintained.
Note: Schedule required second EOM and higher PMCS per the appropriate
commodity chapter of TM 4700-15/1_.

Filing Maintain current (active) copies in the administrative office. Retain the
NAVMC 10561 that has all required PMCS completed for a minimum of 1
year. For equipment requiring a biennial PMCS, retain the NAVMC 10561
for 2 years. Units possessing a limited quantity of equipment may list items
for subsequent years on the same NAVMC 10561.
Note: Units using an automated system may retain printouts in place of the
NAVMC 10561.

STUDY UNIT 2
MAINTENANCE RELATED PROGRAMS
Overview
Introduction This study unit discusses how to keep the shop functioning and working
proficiently. There are numerous programs that you must monitor according
to the appropriate references and directives. Most of these programs are
paper-based and are filed for future reference.
As the supervisor, it is your duty to monitor these programs—they could

make or break your maintenance mission.
Scope This study unit includes a look at the supervision and coordination of
programs that relate to the maintenance system—procedures for supervising
publications, the supply support program, and the licensing program.

LESSON 1
PROGRAMS
Introduction
Scope This lesson will cover the programs associated with the engineer maintenance
field. Maintenance-related programs contribute to the maintenance cycle
mission. You must constantly monitor these programs. For example, if you
do not keep your calibration program current, your mechanics may not be
able to conduct a test, perform a calibration, or torque an item to the
specifications required for that piece of gear.
You will find maintenance related programs under production control. These
programs do not fall directly under the maintenance cycle (MIMMS).

Objectives
• Define maintenance-related programs.
• Identify the correct procedure in a modification program.
• Identify the procedure for supervising the TMDE program.
• Identify when to complete a product quality deficiency report (PQDR).
• Identify the purpose of the recoverable items program (WIR).
• Identify the purpose of the joint oil analysis program.

Modification Program
Definition of Modifications are maintenance actions performed to improve the operation

Modification and safety of equipment by changing the actual design of the item.
Procedures You will receive modification instructions if a defect is discovered by the

manufacturer or if a fellow Marine sends in a SF 368, Product Quality
Deficiency Report (PQDR).
Requests for modification are sent to the item manager, who determines
whether the modification is URGENT or NORMAL in Albany, Georgia.
• An URGENT modification is necessary because the equipment is in

danger of being damaged. For urgent modifications, the equipment is
deadlined until the modification is applied.
• A NORMAL modification improves the equipment. You have 1 year to

apply a normal modification to equipment.
Note: Once the item manager approves the modification, the required
instructions and materials are assembled and fielded to the Operational
Forces.

Modification Program, Continued
Description Descriptions for many of the modification instructions are listed in the table
below:
Block Description
TIME COMPLIANCE Normally found on an urgent modification
PARAGRAPH instructions. It gives the time frame in which the
modification must be completed. If the
modification is completed within the directed time
frame, there is no cost to the unit. However, if the
modification is not completed by the time directed
(one year for normal modifications), then the cost
of the modification is incurred by the unit unless
the modification materials are still on the shelf at
the depot.
INFORMATION Describes the modification instructions.
MAJOR END ITEM Describes the NSN and/or part number, TAMCN,
AFFECTED and ID number of the affected end item.
COMPONENT Provides the same information as “Major End Item
AFFECTED Affected,” except it is for a component.
MATERIAL Describes the NSN and/or part number, quantity of
AFFECTED the material required and material discarded.
SKILL AND TIME MOS and man hours required to accomplish the
REQUIRED modification.
MODIFICATION Details information, pictures, and drawings of how
PROCEDURES the modification is to be performed.
RECORDING AND Provides the specific instructions on how to record
REPORTING THE and report modification instructions. Additional
MODIFICATION information on recording modifications can be
found in TM-4700-15/1.
Note: Descriptions not listed are self-explanatory.

Modification Program, Continued
Responsibilities The engineer chief is responsible for tracking modifications. When

modification is performed on an item of equipment, use the forms listed
below:
• NAVMC 11053 (Form A)

• NAVMC 11054 (Form B)
Note: Use form B when you have a large amount of equipment requiring
modifications. Both forms give you a readily available means of
accurately determining the modification(s) status of assigned
equipment.

Calibration Program
Definition of Calibration is the adjustment of precision instruments that deviate from the
Calibration standard.
Responsibilities As directed by the calibration cards, the engineer chief must perform an
annual inventory and calibration of all test, measurement, and diagnostic
equipment (TMDE). During the annual inventory, make sure the following
items are identified:
• T/E items—components of sets, chests, or kits: torque wrenches,

pressure gauges, micrometers, etc.
• Calibration control records—electronic, mechanical, engineer, and motor

transport TMDE
Calibration Not Items designated calibration not required (CNR) and inactive receive annual
Required status review and validation. The annual TMDE inventory provides an
excellent opportunity to do the following:
• Identify TMDE that is eligible for designation as CNR/Inactive

• Verify current status
• Validate records
• Reschedule calibrations
At the end of a 3-year inactive period, units will reevaluate the following:
• Need to retain the equipment

• Requirement to calibrate the equipment

Tracking There are three systems for tracking calibration equipment:

Systems
System Function
Chart The calibration control record is maintained on a wall chart
or on standard-sized paper.
Card index The calibration control record is maintained on 5×8 inch
cards.
Automated The automated method is the most accurate means to record
or locally and track your information. It is fast becoming the way to do
produced business. If your unit does not have a computer, you can
control card produce a local form.
Control Chart As the chief, you must screen the EROs for TMDE turn-in, ensure the proper
information was submitted, and screen the records on the TMDE items. A
control chart will help to simplify the process as shown below:
Step Action
1 Perform an annual inventory to make sure all items are
accounted for and to verify CNR and inactive items are
properly labeled.
2 Make sure items are staggered in your PMCS system to
avoid putting all like items in the maintenance cycle at the
same time.
3 Screen all EROs to ensure proper entries. Be sure to load the
ERO into the MIMMS system at least 5 days before the
scheduled turn-in date.
4 Make sure proper calibration is being performed and stickers
are affixed to the items when they are returned.
5 Make sure that items are kept in a secure area and all
components are clean and serviceable.

Warranty Items
Definition Warranty items are end items that are fielded by the Marine Corps and have a
manufacturers' warranty.
Purpose Periodically manufacturers issue updates and recalls that may affect your
equipment. By keeping the warranty for end items, the manufacturer will
pick up the cost of updating or fixing the item.
Procedures If you possess an item with a manufacturer's warranty, follow the steps listed
below:
• Keep warranty records for the item.
• Indicate the warranty period in the remarks section of the record jacket.
• Maintain the warranty record in the item’s record jacket (NAVMC 696D)
for the period the equipment is in the system.
Notification of The procedures used to notify units of a warranty defect are within this block.
Warranty The using unit will immediately notify the warranty coordinator when a
Defect warranted item has failed. The warranty coordinator at the designated
command/area shall notify the warranty administrator immediately thereafter.
Such notification may be either telephonic or in writing. Any telephone
notification will be followed by an SF 368 prepared per the current edition of
MCO 4855.10. An information copy of the written notification, SF 368, will
be provided to the Operational Forces warranty coordinator. When repair is
being accomplished by the Marine Corps, it will be so stated on the SF 368.

Product Quality Deficiency Report
Purpose SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR) notifies activities that
develop, procure, and manage equipment about deficiencies in the equipment.
Function A PQDR enables activities to initiate action to correct reported deficiencies.

Proper use of PQDRs ensures correction of deficiencies. Corrections may be
in several forms. The equipment may be modified by the Marine Corps or if
the equipment is under warranty, the manufacturer may repair it or be held
responsible for its repair. If the equipment has not been received from the
manufacturer, it will be corrected prior to being sent to the Marine Corps.
Responsibility The individual who discovers the deficiency initiates the PQDR and submits
it to the originating point—battalion, squadron, or company. The originating
point submits the PQDR to the Marine Corps PQDR screening point. Per the
current edition of MCO 4855.10, all deficient material must be secured,
segregated, and tagged with a completed DD Form 1575, Suspended Material
Tag and a DD Form 2332, Product Quality Deficiency Report Exhibit.
Categories of There are two PQDR categories of reports:

Reports
Report Description
Category I Deficiencies that may cause
• Death or injury
• Severe occupational illness
• Major damage to a weapon system
When an urgency exists, you may first transmit Category I

PQDRs orally; however you must follow up by sending a
priority electronic message using the SF 368 or an electronic
facsimile of the SF 368 according to MCO-4855.10.
Category II Deficiencies that do not meet category I criteria.
Note: The instructions for completing a PQDR are self-explanatory, but may
be found in TM-4700-15/1_.

Recoverable Items Program
Purpose The recoverable items (WIR) program establishes policy and procedures for
the recovery, reporting, and management of recoverable items in three
situations:
• Cannot be repaired with current resources available to the field

commander
• Excessive to a command’s allowances
• Beyond economical repair
Responsibility Skilled maintenance personnel determine the condition of equipment

nominated for recovery.
Disposition Recoverable items that cannot be repaired with the resources available to the
unit or that are suspected of being beyond economical repair will be inducted
into the supporting intermediate maintenance shop for an LTI and disposition.
Intermediate The intermediate maintenance facility will report the item via a WIR to the
Maintenance MCLB Albany, Georgia requesting disposition instructions.
Facility
Guidance MCO P4400.82 outlines submission of reports, repairs of recoverable items,

salvage of repair parts, replacement of unserviceable recoverable items, and
accounting instructions.

Joint Oil Analysis
Definition of Oil analysis is a term used to describe scientific tests and evaluations
Oil Analysis performed on used oil. It is used to
• Determine whether the oil may be retained or must be changed

• Provide information on the internal condition of engines, transmissions,
and other oiled components
Through testing, the lab can detect the various wear of metals. Oil analysis
also detects whether the viscosity of the oil has changed due to fuel dilution
or water content.
How to Sample the equipment without warming the component to the operating
Sample Oil temperature if the equipment has been operated within the last 30 days or
ambient temperatures allow. Sometimes the ambient temperature is too low;
if so, warm the item just long enough to obtain the sample. If new oil has
been added recently, allow the oil to mix before taking an oil sample. Take
samples every 180 days or 250 hours of operation.
Guidance TI-44731-14/1_ provides guidance for whichever equipment is tested.

LESSON 2
SUPERVISE PUBLICATIONS
Introduction
Scope This lesson will cover the functional area of publications, focusing on the
supervisors areas of responsibility. There will be an emphasis on publication
requirements, inventory procedures, and publication control.
You may have to request an increase in publications when your unit is tasked
with a deployment of some of its assets or when some of your Marines are
deployed and need to take publications with them.

Objectives
• Identify the key documents used to establish a publications library.
• Identify two types of inventories in a publications library.
• Identify the purpose of the publications control form.

Publications Library
Key Documents The three key documents needed to establish a publications library are
• T/O
• T/E
• Publications listing
Importance of In study unit 1, you were provided a breakdown of the T/O and T/E (TO/TE)
T/O and T/E and their purposes. The TO/TE are building blocks for your unit. From the
TO/TE, you can do the following:
• Get a clear understanding of which publications needed to support your

equipment and mission.
• Determine the quantity of those publications needed to carry out your

mission.
• Identify your mission statement and echelon of maintenance.
• Identify what type of equipment you rate.
Publications Once you have located the TO/TE and you know their contents, you need to
Listing acquire the publication listing (PL), which is an electronic display of all
publications in the Marine Corps Publications Directive System (MCPDS)
designated for a particular unit.
Category The PL is produced in a computer-generated format by standard subject

Components identification code (SSIC) and ID groups, followed by applicable publication
control numbers (PCNs).
Additional The short and long title of the publication, the quantity, and a remarks column
Components are also on the PL to help you determine the publications needed.
Copies To increase the number of copies of publications, submit the changes to the
S-1 using the individual activity code (IAC). The S-1, in turn, will submit the
change to the CMC.

Types of Publications
Categories Publications are grouped into two categories:
• Technical (equipment-related)
• Non-technical (not equipment-related)
Technical Technical publications are divided into two areas:
• Equipment associated: Publications that apply to a specific piece of

equipment.
• Non-equipment associated: Publications that apply to equipment in

general, but not one specific piece of equipment.
These manuals are categorized by an item designator (ID) number. Knowing

the item designator number of each piece of equipment, you will be able to
find all required publications for that item of equipment because the
equipment and the publications share the same number.
Non-Technical Non-technical publications are
• Marine Corps Orders (MCOs) are permanent publications.

• Marine Corps Bulletins (MCBuls) are temporary publications.
These publications are numbered by a standard subject identification code

(SSIC). These codes are listed in SECNAVINST 5210.11, Secretary Naval
Instructions and in NAVMC 2671, Catalogue of Publications.

Types of Publications, Continued
Seven Types The seven types of publications are listed in the table below:
Publication Description
Technical Manuals (TMs) Furnish technical information,
instructions, and procedures of a
permanent nature on the operation,
maintenance, and handling of equipment
or material.
Lubrication Instructions (LIs) Furnish technical information and
instructions on the service, lubrication,
and related preventive maintenance
checks and services requirements for
equipment or material.
Modification Instructions (MIs) Authorize the modification of equipment
or material and furnish technical
instructions on how to accomplish the
modification.
Technical Instructions (TIs) Furnish technical advice or information on
equipment or material.
Support Concepts (SCs) Establish the support policies developed
for the logistic support of specific items of
equipment.
Stock Lists (SLs) Furnish supply support information on
specific supply problems or procedures
for specific equipment or classes of
material.
User Manuals (UMs) Provide procedures for formatting and
entering information into the AIS.
Note: For more detailed information, refer to MCO 4790.2_ Appendix B.

Inventory Procedures
Inventory The procedure established in the inventory control functional area must be
Control thoroughly employed by your publications librarians on a day-to-day basis.
This will ensure that Marines have up-to-date publications available to them
for daily tasks as well as operational deployments. Guidelines for the
inventory control procedure are listed below:
Step Action
1 Establish libraries and their locations.
2 Arrange different types of publications within a library.
3 Document procedures for embarkation to ensure deployment
and contingency libraries are identified.
4 Establish procedures for a publication control form that will
be used to manage the publications control system.
5 Keep track of publications checked in and out on a daily basis.
6 Establish procedures for entering changes to the different
types of publications and how to update records to reflect new
publications, new changes, or requisitions already filled.
Types There are two types of inventory procedures:
• Wall-to-wall: Identify exactly what is on hand for the initial setup of a

publications library.
• Update: Required once you have identified all the discrepancies and
ordered appropriate publications.

Inventory Procedures, Continued
Publications Conduct an update inventory quarterly to coincide with the arrival of the
Lists following new editions:
• NAVMC 2761: A catalog of publications to use when requisitioning

Marine Corps directives.
• SL-1-2: A listing of publications to use in the support and maintenance of

equipment.
• SL-1-3: A listing of Marine Corps publications stocked at MCLB

Albany, Georgia.
Librarian The librarian performs another duty that is not listed as an inventory function,
but which may be thought of as an on-going inventory. Whenever any
additions, deletions, or changes to a publication occur, the librarian must
make the changes as they are received.

Controlling Publications
Importance of The publications control procedure you set up is very important because your
Procedures librarian must manage the publications daily.
Library Layout The interior physical arrangement of the publications library is based on the
type of publication:
• Non-technical publications: Maintain according to MCO P5215.1 in the

shop office.
• Technical publications: Maintain in a working library for use by the

mechanics and operators. These publications are arranged in one of two
ways:
• Non-equipment: Arrange in short title numerical sequence and list in

the SL-1-2 and SL-1-3, and the TIs in the 4700, 4790, and 5600 series.
Example: TM 4700-15/1 PCN 18204600000
• Equipment: Arrange by equipment type and list in the SL-1-2 under

the ID number of the equipment or component.
Example: ID NO. 08602A Roller, Motorized, Vibratory Compactor
S-1/Adjutant The S-1/Adjutant maintains the electronic PL, procures required publications,
monitors the backorder status, and distributes publications received through
the MCPDS.
MMO The MMO ensures adequate copies of maintenance management publications

are listed on the PL. The MMO is the coordinating link between the
commodity sections and the S-1/Adjutant in publications distribution and
guidance.

Controlling Publications, Continued
Maintaining a The table below lists the procedure to properly maintain and control a library:
Library
Procedure Action
Deploy Make sure contingency libraries are documented,
maintained, and supported with an embarkation plan.
Control Ensure a filing system is in effect and each library has, at
a minimum, a card system.
Track Maintain a log book to check publications in and out.
Requisition Establish procedures for updating, ordering, and making
changes to publications.
Control Form A control form is used to identify the contents, quantity, and location of a
shop library according to MCO P4790.2_, MIMMS Field Procedures Manual,
Appendix B. It is one of the most important forms in the publications library
that must be maintained. The publication control form can be a locally
produced form or an automated form.
The MMO SOP establishes the policy as to which form to use and what the
form will contain. The publication control form will contain, at a minimum,
the following information:
Header Data Reference

Individual Use the name or the seven digit IAC number of your
Activity activity.
Code/Activity
Equipment List the equipment nomenclature, item designator (ID
Nomenclature No.), and TAMCN when the form is used for equipment
related publications.
PCN Use the publication's PCN as listed in the NAVMC 2761
or the SL-1-3/1-2.
Short Title Use the publication's short title as listed in the NAVMC
2761 or the SL-1-3/1-2.
Publication Date Use the date as listed in the NAVMC 2761 or the
SL-1-3/1-2.
Number of the Indicate the number of the change to the basic
Change publication as listed in the NAVMC 2761 or SL-1-3/1-2.
(consecutive: When SL-1-3/1-2 lists changes separately on the control
1, 2, 3, etc.) form, list each change on a separate line.

NAVMC 10772
Purpose Once you have established the library, inventoried the contents, and set
procedures for managing your publications, your Marines will begin asking
questions about missing paragraphs and pages, outdated information, and
misspelled words. What do you do? You will use the NAVMC 10772,
Recommended Changes to Publications/Logistics–Maintenance Data Coding.
NAVMC 10772 provides a means for accelerating information feedback. It

gives you a way to submit changes, comments, and corrections to the
publication at MCLB Albany, Georgia.
When to Completion of the NAVMC 10772 form is self-explanatory. Mailing

Submit instructions are also included. Your local SOP should cover the reporting
process.
Complete a NAVMC 10772 whenever an error is found in a publication. The

person finding the error(s) submits the form. The corrections you submit can
help many Marines beyond your unit. Spread the word!
Note: For complete instructions on how to complete this form, refer to

TM 4700-15/1_, Ground Equipment Records Procedures.

LESSON 3
SUPPLY SUPPORT PROGRAM
Introduction
Scope As the engineer chief, you are not concerned with how the part is made or
how it is warehoused. At the local level, you are concerned with how the part
is shipped and how soon it will arrive. After all, you want the equipment up
and performing its mission as soon as possible.
This lesson covers budgeting, repair parts support, maintenance float, and
validation procedures.

Objectives
• Identify the requirements for assembling a budget.
• Identify the definition of maintenance float items.

Budgeting
General Budgeting starts with your input. Begin the budget process by scrutinizing
Information the past year's maintenance records to determine how much money was spent
and where it was spent. Such parts and supplies listed below may be needed
on a continuous basis:
• PM items, filters, and POLs

• Shop overhead—rags, floor dry, tools, and office supplies
• CM parts—tires, lights, brakes, seals, and bearings
Note: The MMO must submit an annual budget for expenditures.
New As you create a parts and supply budget based on current needs, keep in mind
Equipment that new equipment fielding may be a factor:
• Set aside a fixed amount for CM and PM.

• Obtain the cost of items and parts from the manufacturer or dealer.
• Submit a budget that includes your input. Remember, you are the first link
in the budgeting process.

Repair Parts Support
Coordination The proper functioning of a unit's maintenance program depends on the

continuous coordination between maintenance and supply activities. Good
coordination contributes significantly to the goal of unit equipment readiness.
As the user, maintenance depends upon supply to provide the secondary
reparables, repair parts, and other supplies when and where they are needed.
Maintenance personnel must actively support the unit supply program by
using proper procedures and providing timely feedback.
Unit Supply Supporting the unit supply activity is accomplished by providing timely
Activity information about normal and special needs:
• Request required material only.

• Use the proper forms and procedures.
• Use material properly.
• Return material not used promptly to the issue point.
• Review outstanding requisitions frequently to validate the continued need
for background material.

Maintenance Float
Definition Maintenance float, often referred to as secondary repairable items, are end
items or components of equipment authorized for stockage at installations or
activities for replacement of unserviceable items of equipment when
immediate repair of unserviceable equipment cannot be accomplished.
Secondary A secondary repairable is a repairable component/part other than the principal

Repairables unit/end item. They are not functional by themselves, but are components of
other items. They are items that can be repaired and put back into the supply
system as shelf items for issue at the repairable issue point (RIP). Secondary
repairable are often referred to as float items. The two types of secondary
repairable items are listed below:
• Field Repairables: Items that are fourth echelon terminal and identified
with O, F, or H in the last position of the SMR code; for example:
transmissions and engines.
• Depot Repairables: Items that are fifth echelon terminal and identified
with D or L in the last position by the SMR code; for example: radio set
receivers, transmitters, and module printed circuit boards.
Maintenance sections will maintain a current listing or catalog of secondary

repairables managed by their supporting RIP. This will enable the
maintenance section to determine what secondary repairables are available for
exchange at the RIP.
Note: These items are managed per MCO P4400.82.
Advantages The advantages of having secondary repairables in a local supply warehouse

are listed below:
• Reduced costs
• Readily available interchangeable parts
• Less requisitioning time required

Validating Layettes
Definition of Validation is the process used to confirm repair part requirements. It involves
Validation confirmation of requirements that are still needed, cancellations, receipts,
scrounges, and current status. When confirming needed requirements, the
customer must ensure the items have been made known, still exist, and are
resident in the supply system.
Purpose The reason for validating your requests and receipts is to ensure the parts
ordered for equipment get to the user in a proper and timely fashion.
Every working day, there should be a validation based on the work load and
amount of parts ordered by the unit. This will occur less in a second echelon
unit compared to a third echelon unit.
Daily Start by screening the DPR for parts received. Then, once the parts are
Procedures identified and picked up from supply, put those parts in the correct ERO
layette bin.
The 4-card EROSL is initialed as parts are received and placed into the ERO
layette bin. The parts stay in this bin until they are signed out by the
mechanic for installation on the equipment.
All parts for the same ERO are stored in the same bin. If a part is too large
for the bin, tag it and store it in another suitable area.

Validating Layettes, Continued
Bi-Weekly Material in the ERO bins must be validated at least biweekly. To do a

Validation biweekly validation, follow the steps listed in the table below:
Step Action
1 Make sure all EROs cite the category codes that accurately
reflect the actual condition and status of the equipment.
2 Compare all EROs on the DPR in a short parts status with the
ERO and EROSL:
• ERO job status is correct.

• ERO category and priority are valid.
• EROSL has been prepared, document numbers assigned,
and transactions processed.
• Priorities assigned to the document number on an EROSL
logically follow the priority and category assigned.
Parts Issue Once all parts are received and the layette is full, the parts can be issued to a
mechanic for installation. There are instances when work will be performed
prior to having a full layette.
If critical parts are received, bring the item off deadline, place it into a non-
critical status, and install them at that time. An example is a CAT CODE
“M” ERO.
Down-Grading Once an ERO is down-graded because all of the “M” parts have been applied,
EROs it cannot be upgraded to “M” again. If a category code “M” exists again, that
ERO must be closed completely out and a new ERO must be opened.
• Make sure the problem is fixed before down-grading.

• Do a quality control check on CAT CODE “M” PRIORITY 02 or 03
EROs because only the CO can sign them.

Validating Layettes, Continued
Transfers When opening a new ERO, you may want to transfer all parts to the new ERO
by means of an “8-card” with authority code 9 in CC 27 and a new ERO
number in CCs 55–59 on a EROSL.
Note: All CAT CODE “M” parts must first be installed before closing the old
ERO.
Monitoring The chain of custody for parts is maintained by use of an EROSL. It is a

Changes simple process. Be sure to use it from start to finish because it makes life
easier. Do not hesitate to write brief statements concerning the parts if it
makes things easier for you. By all means, note on your DPR what up-grades
and down-grades were done on your EROs.

LESSON 4
ENGINEER EQUIPMENT LICENSING
Introduction
Scope Remember that new Marines may have had only a few weeks of formal
training on each item of engineer equipment. To become proficient, they
must be provided the opportunity to continue training after they reach their
first duty station. You can provide this opportunity by establishing and
supervising a licensing program to further develop your Marines in their
MOS.
This program can include mechanics as well as operators. Incorporate this

program into the training schedule and your unit and Marines will be able to
accomplish the mission faster and more efficiently.

Objectives
• Identify qualifications required for a licensing examiner.
• Identify files relating to the engineer equipment licensing program.
• Identify testable areas for license applicants.
• Identify the disqualification criterion for an individual seeking an

operator’s license.

Stages of Licensing 2-47
Disqualification, Revocation, and Suspension 2-48

Licensing Personnel
Designation The unit commander must designate in writing the licensing officer and the
licensing examiners who will establish the unit licensing program. New
equipment and newly assigned personnel make the licensing program a
necessity to ensure training is properly conducted and documented in the
training records.
Licensing The licensing officer must hold a 1310, 3510, or 2110 MOS. He or she is
Officer responsible for properly conducting a licensing program that issues licenses
only to those personnel who have met the proper licensing qualifications.
The licensing officer is authorized to issue a license card validated by their
signature to operators and mechanics having responsibility for equipment or
having access to equipment.
Licensing The licensing officer can assign a licensing examiner or make a

Examiner recommendation to the OIC for a licensing examiner assignment. Specific
qualifications for a licensing examiner are listed below:
• A graduate of the formal school in the equipment MOS
• Fully qualified as a licensed operator for tactical engineer equipment and

serving in a supervisory status
• Trained by qualified instructors in the administration, procedures, and

evaluation of the various examinations for the tactical engineer equipment
operator's and mechanics testing and licensing program
Note: Use TM 11275-15/4 as the reference for administering the licensing

program.

Record Keeping
Licensing One licensing examiner can run the administrative part of the licensing
Examiners program for a small unit. However, large units like Transportation Support
Battalions (TSB) and Engineer Support Battalions (ESB) that have a lot of
equipment and personnel may require several examiners to handle the
administrative workload.
Records Files Administrative procedures begin with establishing three record files:
• History file
• Action date file
• Licensing logbook
History File The history file is the most important licensing file. It must contain all
documentation related to the licensing individual.
Requirement Action
Contents • Completed license application
• Licensing examiner interview notes
• Complete test of equipment knowledge and skill
performance
• Documentation of special action
• Copies of notification and other letters and forms
(medical results, SRB entries, etc.)
Maintain File • Enter documents chronologically.
• Enter date of the next required action on the front of
the cover.
• Maintain history file information for 3 years after
date of last entry.
• Release file to transferring Marine who takes it to
the receiving unit.

Record Keeping, Continued
Action Date An action date file must be established to schedule the administrative
File requirements for licensing action. The action date file consists of fifty-two
3×5-inch note cards organized by the weeks in a year (1 through 52).

Card (OF-346) during a particular week. Each week the licensing examiner pulls
the current card and follows through with the required tasks listed. Most of
the information on these cards will be for licensing transactions that must be
referenced from the Operator History File. An example of an 3×5-inch action

License A licensing logbook is used to record all licensing issues—renewals,

Logbook duplicates, and upgrades. Remember two rules about the logbook:
• No two licenses may have the same number.

• Retain the logbook for 3 years following the last entry.
The licensing logbook is set up with the following required entries: date, card
number, type of transaction, equipment item, applicant’s names and
signatures, and the examiner’s signature. An example of the licensing
logbook entries is shown below:

DTC 8606,
TRAM, EBFL

Stages of Licensing
Five Stages The examiner establishes procedures for screening the Service Record Book
of each newly joined Marine to determine if the Marine qualifies for initial or
upgrade to an engineer equipment license. There are strict licensing
procedures for issuance of the OF-346 license, including five stages to
complete the licensing process. A licensing flow chart is shown below:
Stage Who Does It? What Happens?
1 Applicant Completes application
2 Licensing Examiner Recommends license and gives applicant physical examination
form
3 Applicant Proceeds to medical with evaluation form for physical exam
4 Physically Qualified Takes test in three areas—new or reissue of revoked licenses:
Applicant
• Skill performance
• Equipment knowledge
• Safety procedures
5 Licensing Examiner Makes sure all appropriate entries are made on both parts of the
application and then issues license
Note: The four areas and reasons for disqualification are explained later in
this lesson. The CO may grant a waiver of any disqualification.
Issuance of If the Marine is recommended for licensing and the transaction is an initial
License license or renewed license, make an action date card with the applicant's
name on it and file it in the week file that is 4 weeks prior to the expiration
date of the new license. Once the license has been issued, you must ensure
history files are established and proficiency tests are scheduled.
Maintain the continuity that is prescribed by TM-11275-15/4, Engineer
Equipment Operator Licensing Program.
Continuous It is very important to continue training. During deployments and operations,

Training it will not be you who operates the equipment. So, you must make sure your
Marines are well-trained and prepared to operate heavy equipment
proficiently. As the engineer chief, you must use planning and creativity.
Use whatever resources are available, especially for earth-moving operations.
Check with your S-3 and range control officer for available training sites.
Training on forklifts and cranes can usually be performed in the local area of
the equipment shop. Though time consuming, close supervision is required
for all training operations. Plan your training according to your everyday
mission workload. Do not neglect safety; it is a vital part of training.

Disqualification, Revocation, and Suspension
Introduction Licensed operators sometimes act irresponsibly. It takes a qualified, safe, and
responsible individual to properly operate engineer equipment. When
individuals violate these standards, punitive action must be taken.
Disqualification Applicants can be disqualified for the following reasons:
• Failure to pass physical exam

• Lack of operating skills
• Failure to pass the knowledge test
• Recklessness, an accident, or a poor attitude
Revocation Commanding officers are authorized to revoke OF-346 licenses held by

personnel in their command for a period of 90 days or more. If the
commanding officer revokes the license, “REVOKED UNTIL (DATE)” is
written across the license and the license is filed in the individual’s engineer
equipment history file. Licenses may be revoked for the following reasons:
• Found to be under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, other

than those prescribed by a medical officer
• Receives a citation or is found liable for causing a reportable

accident/incident or for committing personnel/equipment safety violations
while operating tactical engineer equipment
Note: Complete retesting, including a new application, is required before the

individual becomes eligible to hold an OF-346 license again.
Suspension Commanding officers have the authority to suspend a license, for cause, for
periods of up to 90 days. The CO confiscates the OF-346 license and holds it
until the suspension has expired. The OF-346 license may be returned to the
Marine without formal licensing processing.
No retesting is necessary unless the CO requires it. If it is requested, the

Marine is required to complete retesting.
Note: All documents related to license status must be filed in the Marine's
history file folder.

STUDY UNIT 3
MAINTENANCE
Overview
Introduction To ensure that a shop is running properly and efficiently, be aware of all
activity in and around your shop as much as possible. An engineer chief who
does not stay engaged with the shop floor will not have a clear picture of what
maintenance is being done, which will ultimately affect mission
accomplishment. This study unit covers the fundamentals of maintenance,
providing you the basic knowledge of the internal workings of your shop.
Scope This study unit includes the corrective and preventative maintenance
programs, policies and procedures used in the programs, load testing, and
how to determine the availability and employment of engineer equipment.

LESSON 1
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
Introduction
Scope Corrective maintenance is defined as that action taken on material, as a result

of a failure to restore equipment to a specific condition, which includes
inspection, testing, servicing, and classification as to serviceability, repair,
rebuilding, and reclamation.
This lesson will discuss the definition of corrective maintenance and discuss
the four phases of maintenance in detail. The assigning of key billets and
reconciliation will also be covered.

Objectives
• Identify the four phases of corrective maintenance.
• Identify the key billets in a maintenance shop.
• Identify the process of validation.

Maintenance Phase
Process The tasks comprising corrective maintenance vary. However, when

performed, corrective maintenance will normally occur in the same sequence.
The composite of these tasks is referred to as the corrective maintenance
process and, for any specified maintenance action, consists of those tasks to
restore the equipment to the specified condition.
The corrective maintenance process starts when the equipment is reported as

requiring corrective maintenance. It terminates when equipment is either
restored to a serviceable condition, declared not reparable, or as otherwise
determined by competent authority.
Four Phases The corrective maintenance process consists of four phases:
• Acceptance
• Induction
• Active maintenance
• Close-out

Acceptance Phase
Elements The acceptance phase, also known as the initial phase, consists of the
following elements:
• Inspection
• Scheduling
• Shop assignment
Inspection The purpose of inspection is to verify the equipment is complete and prepared
for the required maintenance service. Inspection is conducted upon initial
receipt by the maintenance section.
Scheduling The purpose of scheduling is to have equipment requiring maintenance arrive

at the maintenance facility at or after the time the required maintenance
resources are available. This procedure allows the equipment owner
maximum operational use of this equipment while avoiding needlessly large
concentrations of equipment awaiting maintenance at the maintenance
facility. Acceptance scheduling normally applies to all PMCS, modification,
calibration, or routine repairs. To be effective, close coordination between
the equipment owner and the maintenance section is required.
Shop The assignment of equipment to a specific maintenance shop within the

Assignment maintenance section occurs upon completion of the acceptance inspection and
scheduling, when appropriate. In maintenance sections comprised of only
one maintenance shop, shop assignment occurs at the time of acceptance of
the equipment during the acceptance inspection.
In smaller shops, where the maintenance section handles all the corrective
maintenance (CM) modifications, calibrations, and preventive maintenance
(PM) functions, the assignment of equipment is based on the workload of the
individual mechanics.

Induction Phase
Definition The physical commitment of equipment and its ERO into the maintenance
cycle is known as the induction phase.
When the equipment is inducted and assigned to a specific section, it is

worked on according to the priority in which it was inducted.
Deferred ERO If the equipment is inducted by a deferred ERO, the maintenance section
calls for the equipment when the resources become available to work on it
and according to the priorities of the ERO—category code of the ERO, date
received in shop, equipment needs, and urgency of the equipment's mission.

Active Maintenance Phase
Definition The active maintenance phase, also known as the beginning of the repair
process, is the induction of the ERO and its associated equipment into a
maintenance shop for production actions.
This phase is performed in a sequence of logical steps designed to ensure the

required services are conducted in an efficient and effective manner. During
the active maintenance phase, continual emphasis is placed on quality control
of the actions and tasks performed. The frequency of quality control
inspections will depend on the skill and experience of the individual
technicians or mechanics and the overall complexity of the actions.
Repair Process The repair process follows a sequence of logical steps designed to ensure
required services are completed in an efficient and effective manner. Follow
the steps listed in the table below:
Step Action
1 Inspect the equipment.
2 Prepare the Performance of Maintenance Actions.
3 Perform the following maintenance actions:
• Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services

• Obtain required materials.
• Complete a PMCS.
• Corrective Maintenance
• Isolate the cause of the equipment malfunction.
• Obtain required repair parts and secondary repairables.
• Correct the equipment fault.
• Modification Control
• Obtain required materials.
• Apply modification.
• Calibration
4 Check the Completed Maintenance Actions on an ERO.
5 Perform quality control.
6 Clean up the maintenance area.

Close-Out Phase
Definition The close-out phase takes place when one of the two following decisions is
made:
• Equipment has been repaired and the serviceable item is to be returned to

the owner.
• Equipment is scheduled for evacuation or disposal.
Role Maintenance personnel ensure the close-out process is accurate, complete,

and coordinated.
Actions During The following actions are accomplished during the close-out phase:
Close-Out
• Accurate completion of the ERO and equipment records according to
TM-4700-15/1_, Ground Equipment Record Procedures, by maintenance
personnel
• Performance of any special packaging, preservation, transportation, and

shipping requirements
• Coordination between the owning unit and the maintenance section for
receipt of equipment and records
Note: If the EOM is beyond the unit's capability, the unit prepares a courtesy
ERO and evacuates the equipment to the next higher EOM.

Key Billets
Importance of Follow the orders and directives in the sequence they are laid out. Equally
Sequence important is selecting the right Marine for the right billet.
Four Key Areas There are four key maintenance areas that require assignment of personnel to
perform specific maintenance-related tasks:
• Quality control
• MIMMS personnel
• Supply clerks
• Mechanics

Quality Control
Importance Quality control (QC) is an important link in the maintenance cycle, and a
supervisor must place the correct Marine in that billet.
Requirements The QC section must have a sound understanding of MIMMS, be able to

supervise troubleshooting equipment and ensure all repairs are complete.
If possible, the QC billet should be filled by a Marine in a supervisory role,

who has worked in all areas of the shop, and can guide the equipment through
the maintenance cycle.

MIMMS Personnel
Importance Everyone looks at the DPR, DTL, LM-2, and TAM reports generated by your
shop. The accuracy of these reports reflects on your supervisory skills and
those of your MIMMS personnel. This job is an extremely important
position. If it is not properly supervised, a multitude of problems could result.
However, if your expertise in maintenance management is poor, the MMO
will provide guidance to correct the deficient areas.
Requirements MIMMS personnel who maintain your records and enter transactions are a
vital link in the maintenance of the administration section:
• The Marine should be a school-trained 0411, maintenance management

specialist.
• The supervisor is responsible for training a Marine to do the job if this

billet is not filled.

Supply Clerks
Function Supply clerks are another subsection of administration. They handle all parts
requests for the shop, ranging from replacement parts to floor dry and rags for
the shop.
Responsibilities The responsibilities of the supply clerk are listed below:
• Research parts.
• Make sure the correct category codes and priorities are assigned to the
EROSOLs.
• Oversee the layette bins. These bins contain the parts that are received.
The clerk must control these bins so that the right items go to the right
piece of equipment.
• Coordinate with supply follow-ups.
Requirements The Marine in the supply clerk billet must
• Understand MIMMS and Supported Activities Supply Support System

(SASSY).
• Know how to use the source maintenance and recoverability codes

(SMRC) that are listed in SL-4s, making sure the correct information is
being submitted.

Mechanics
Importance Maintenance personnel, mechanics, assigned to the floor are your money
makers. Place your mechanics into sections where they are or can become
proficient. Do not leave your mechanics in a particular section just because
they are the duty expert. Move experienced mechanics to another section to
spread their knowledge.
Mentoring Mentor your mechanics in skill areas such as troubleshooting equipment,

researching parts, and equipment operation:
• Assign tasks to your mechanics according to skill levels.
• Train your mechanics in the basics of how paperwork is assigned and

how it flows.
Marines differ from one another. Some need to be more closely supervised
than others. It is your job to know how much supervision to give your
Marines.

Validation
Importance The engineer maintenance chief is held responsible for the efficient and
effective work habits of personnel in the shop. The chief will use the
validation process to measure the quality of work being performed in the
shop.
Validation and reconciliation are the means of checking, identifying, and

correcting discrepancies found in either MIMMS or SASSY reports. The
engineer maintenance chief must coordinate, dictate, and supervise these
processes.
Definition Validation is the process used to confirm repair part requirements. It

involves confirmation of requests that are still needed, cancellations, receipts,
scrounges, and current status. When confirming needed requests, the
customer must ensure the items have been made known, still exist, and are
resident in the supply system.
Validations are conducted daily between the MIMMS/records section, the

layette section, and the floor chief. Once every 2 weeks, validation is
conducted by the commodity manager or engineer maintenance chief.
Source The ERO is your source document. All of its information must be verified
Document against your DTL and DPR. To ensure that this is being accomplished, you
should verify by validating this information and reconciling it with the
supply section accordingly.

Validation, Continued
Daily Each day the engineer maintenance chief, commodity manager, or engineer
Procedures maintenance officer will ensure the following:
• When all critical parts have been received for a category code “M” ERO,
but non-critical parts remain outstanding, make sure all critical parts are
installed as well as the non-critical parts that are practical to install. Then
the category code will be changed or a new ERO will be opened.
• After opening a new ERO, make sure the following has been done:
• All pending parts have been transferred to new ERO via an “8”
transaction with authority code “9” and with the assistance of the
supply officer.
• Any parts that have been received and could not be installed are
placed in the newly assigned ERO bin.
• An ERO is closed when category code “M” parts have been
received and installed.
Bi-Weekly After completing the daily validation, the engineer maintenance chief,
Procedures commodity manager, or engineer maintenance officer will complete the
following validation biweekly:
Step Action
1 Review the daily validation procedures to ensure they are done properly.
2 Make sure all EROs cite the category codes that accurately reflect the
actual condition and status of the equipment.
3 Compare all EROs on the DPR in a short parts status with the ERO and
EROSL:
• ERO job status is correct.

• ERO category codes and priority are valid.
• An EROSL has been prepared, document numbers assigned, and
transactions processed.
• The priorities assigned to document numbers on an EROSL follow
the priority and category code assigned to the ERO.
• The priorities assigned meet the criteria contained in MCO 4400.16.
4 Inventory the ERO bins. Compare the EROSL to the material/parts in
the bin. Annotate the EROSL with any changes required and make sure
that corrective actions are entered into MIMMS/AIS. All of the repair
parts in the ERO bin should be reflected as received on the DPR.
5 Make sure all open EROs were prepared per TM-4700-15/1.

Validation, Continued
MMO Every week the MMO will conduct a validation as listed in the table below:
Function
Step Action
1 Review the RM4 Remarks for accuracy and thoroughness.
2 Reconcile the deadline status of equipment shown on the LM2
Unit Report against the Weekly Owning Unit Maintenance
TAM Report and the DPR.
Note: Units must manually input all active category code “M”
EROs that are not listed on the LM2 Unit Report.
3 Review the DPR and DTL for the purpose of identifying
recurring input transaction errors and trends in input errors that
should prompt a review of procedures or discussions with the
Maintenance Information System Coordinator Office (MISCO).
4 Identify the source of requisitioning delays by comparing the
EROSL, the document date, and the “4 Parts” transaction run
date.
Note: The MMO will also conduct a monthly validation by reconciling the
LM2 Unit Report with the T/E, T/A, and a MCBul 3000 series to
ensure all MARES reportable equipment is listed on the LM2 Report
with the correct authorized quantity. This will also reconcile the
mechanized allowance list (MAL) and the LM2 unit report with the
equipment physically to ensure “possessed” quantities are reported
correctly.

Reconciliation
Purpose In the reconciliation process, the unit makes sure the validation requirements
have been properly logged into the SASSY and MIMMS system and
accurately reported on the output reports.
Bi-Weekly After completing validation, reconciliation must be conducted every 2 weeks

Procedures by the commodity manager or engineer maintenance chief:
• All receipts, cancellations, and scrounges have been annotated on the

EROSL and required transactions have been submitted and processed.
• Supply status provided is current, acceptable, and understood. Request

the supply office to clarify any status that is not understood or does not
sufficiently respond according to priority.
• DPR is annotated with the current and correct data and reconciled with
supply against SASSY output reports. Prepare and submit the required
transactions to correct invalid data reflected on the DPR.
Forms and The section MIMMS clerk picks up the required reports that are used on a
Reports daily basis. Validation of the DPR and DTL usually takes place on a daily
basis. To conduct a reconciliation, you will need the following forms and
reports:
• Open EROs
• EROSLs that correspond to the EROs
• MIMMS/AIS reports
• DTL
• DPR
• TAM report
Documents Supply must also furnish the following documents to assist in validation and
reconciliation:
• Listing from the due and status file (DASF)

• ERO
• DOC/NSN

LESSON 2
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Introduction
Scope The objective of preventive maintenance (PM) is to reduce corrective

maintenance. This lesson will cover the guidance to be followed to ensure
proper lubrication, scheduling for preventive maintenance checks and
services, and the forms that are used to schedule and record the preventive
maintenance that was performed.
Learning At the end of this lesson you will be able to

Objectives
• Identify the three sources of information for the establishment of PMCS.
• Identify the forms used to establish recordkeeping for PMCS.

NAVMC 10561 3-26

References
Requirements Preventive maintenance schedules and lubrication requirements are outlined

in three references.
• Lube orders and instructions

• TM-4700-15/1_
• Equipment TMs
Lube Orders Lube orders and instructions, commonly referred to as LOs and LIs, serve as
and a quick reference guide to identify lubrication points. These charts are useful
Instructions to the operators and mechanics to show time interval requirements when they
are performing PMCS.
TM 4700-15/1_ TM 4700-15/1_ provides detailed instructions on how to fill out the various
forms associated with PMCS. This manual also provides recordkeeping
procedures and preventive maintenance guidance for engineer ground
equipment.
Equipment The technical manual for each piece of equipment identifies lubrication and
TMs maintenance specifications and intervals. These specifications are set by the
manufacturer and are adopted by the Marine Corps. These may be based on
hours of equipment operation and calendar time:
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
• Semi-annually
• Annually

Scheduling and Forms
Timing of You may perform PM service before they are due in certain circumstances,
Services such as extreme operating climates, unforeseen contamination, and adverse
operating conditions; all of which can cause undue equipment wear.
At times, you must make a common sense judgment call on PM service.

Keep in mind that only in rare cases should lubrication interval extend beyond
established schedules. Over lubricating and over filling often lead to leaking
seals and protective joint covers. Not lubricating causes excessive wear on
joints and other moving parts.
Forms There are three forms used for PMCS:
• NAVMC 10524, Consolidated Engineer Equipment Log

• NAVMC 10523, Engineer Equipment Operational Record
• NAVMC 10561, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services Roster
These forms serve as checklists and provide the means for tracking large
numbers of equipment.
Note: The NAVMC 10524 and 10523 forms provide a checklist for daily
preventive maintenance.

NAVMC 10524
Purpose On the front of the NAVMC 10524, you can record hours or miles for PMCS
scheduling and POL consumption. The back of the form can be used as a
daily checklist for PMCS in certain situations.
Section A When setting up the schedule, first identify the hourly interval of PMCS listed
in the equipments’ TM. On the bottom row of Section A, the hourly PCMS
are entered in ink because they do not change. In the top row, enter the
equipment’s hour meter readings or the estimated hours that PMCS will
become due. Use a pencil for these entries because they will change when the
hourly PMCS is performed as shown below:
LAST SCHEDULED NEXT SCHEDULED LUBRICATION

PMCS DUE
1200 1200 1250 1200 1200 2000 2000 PMCS PMCS DUE
(USE PENCIL ONLY) (ENTER DATE PERFORMED) (ENTER DATE DUE) (ENTER TYPE)
SCHEDULED PMCS
50 100 250 300 500 1000 2000
Scheduled When making adjustments to the PM schedule, you must remember two
Adjustment things:
• The ERO, if required, will always be written for the largest PMCS that is
due.
• When a PM service comes due, all lesser scheduled PMCS that can be
evenly divided into the larger PMCS are also performed at this time.
This should be reflected in Section A.
Example: If a 300-hour PM is due, then a 50-, 100-, and a 150-hour PM are

performed, but a 250-hour is not. When a 500-hour PM is due, then
a 50-, 100-, and 250-hour PM are done as well, but the 150- and
300-hour PM are not.
Note: Only the performed PMCS are adjusted on the NAVMC 10524.

NAVMC 10523
Purpose The NAVMC 10523, Engineer Equipment Operational Record, serves three
purposes:
• Provides the operator the authority to operate and item of equipment

• Records the PMCS entries of petroleum, oil, and lubricants
• Lists equipment deficiencies
Responsibilities The engineer equipment chief ensures that an ERO is prepared or if an ERO
is already opened, makes sure the parts are requisitioned for any repairs
noted.
Recording NAVMC 10523 contains blocks 7 through 12 for recording PMCS. This
information can be taken from NAVMC 10524, Section A. The dispatcher
enters the information into these blocks, which lets the operator know to
perform 1st echelon services according to the equipments’ TM.
Note: Chapter 2 of TM-4700-15/1 gives further guidance on using this form.

NAVMC 10561
Scheduling Use NAVMC 10561 to systematically schedule 2nd echelon or higher PMCS
on a calendar basis. All equipment must have PMCS scheduled on this form
for at least an annual PM.
Stagger your like items of equipment on the PMCS roster to maintain enough
equipment on hand and to support your unit’s daily and anticipated missions.
Schedule and perform service on an end item and its components and
attachments at the same time to eliminate equipment down time. You can
schedule annual PMCS for load lifting equipment in conjunction with the
annual condition inspection (ACI).
Note: For specific entries, refer to TM 4700-15/1.

LESSON 3
LOAD TESTING OF ENGINEER EQUIPMENT
Introduction
Scope This lesson discusses load testing and annual condition inspections (ACI) of
engineer equipment. Due to the critical nature of load lifting and testing of
cranes and aerial devices, it is important that correct information is published
and used. Marine Corps Order P11262.2_ details the criteria pertaining to
load testing and ACIs. The load testing standards come from regulations
issued by the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). There are also Marine Corps directives, TMs, and
other guidance that apply to equipment maintenance, testing, and inspecting
of load-lifting equipment.
For many years, the Marine Corps and Navy have applied much more
stringent standards than OSHA requires regarding industrial safety when
using load-lifting equipment. The reason for such stringent orders and
standards is simple—accidents occur, people die.

Objectives
• Identify the types of equipment that require load testing.
• Identify the procedures to conduct a maximum load test.
• Identify the procedures to conduct a stability test.
• Identify the purpose of the annual condition inspection.
• Identify the procedures to conduct a no-load test.
• Identify the MOS of a certifying officer.

Introduction 3-31
Load Test Requirements 3-33
Maximum Load Test 3-35
Stability Test 3-36
Annual Condition Inspection 3-37
No-Load Test 3-38
Load Test Certification 3-39

Load Testing Requirements
Background The Secretary of Defense requires all components, including the Marine
Corps, to conform to OSHA’s regulations —with some exceptions predicated
by Defense missions. Extracts of pertinent safety instructions set forth in
OSHA-29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910 have been consolidated
into MCO P11262.2_.
Equipment Only cranes and aerial personnel devices require load testing. Aerial
personnel devices are defined as any mechanically, hydraulically, or
electrically operated device used to lift a person in the air. Scheduled
periodic load testing is not required. Prior to initial use, all are required to be
load tested. The testing is to include
• Newly manufactured
• Extensively repaired
• Altered cranes/aerial personnel devices
Testing The load test consists of two parts: a maximum load test and a stability test.
Standards Although the different items of equipment have similarities in their
performance, they have different testing standards. Each piece of equipment
must be checked structurally for stress fractures, broken welds, bent
members, etc. Any of these discrepancies automatically disqualifies the
equipment from being operational. Any item with a problem must enter the
maintenance cycle for correction of any deficiencies. Then that equipment is
tested again. For any equipment that passes testing, if later it is found
deficient, that equipment must be corrected and retested.
Equipment Hooks are inspected annually for wear in swivels and pins, cracks or gouges,
with Hooks and proper operation and condition of safety latches where installed. When
normal wear or removal of cracks or gouges result in a reduction in the
original sectional dimension of 10 percent or more, discard the hook. If the
hook is visually bent or twisted, discard it. Make no attempt to
• Straighten bent or twisted hooks.

• Correct hook deficiencies by use of heat or welding.

Load Testing Requirements, Continued
Hook Throat Hooks are measured for hook throat spread upon receipt. A throat dimension
Spread base measurement is established by installing two tram points and measuring
the distance between these tram points (+/-1/64 inch). This base dimension is
retained in the “Remarks” section of the Record Jacket (form NAVMC 696D)
for the life of the hook. The distance between tram points is measured
quarterly. Hooks showing an increase in the throat opening by more than 15
percent from the base measurement is discarded.

Maximum Load Test
Procedures There are two distinct procedures in the maximum load test:
• Position the crane with the boom at maximum prescribed lift angle, hook
attached to the load lifting measuring device, with the position of the
boom 90 degrees to the right or left of the lower carrier frame, outriggers
must be at full horizontal extension and vertical jacks lowered to level
the turntable bearing. Check level with carpenter’s level. Place level in
direction of boom and at 90 degrees to direction of boom to establish a
level turntable. Tires must be free of ground for test and the wire rope
connecting the hook to the boom in a vertical configuration—check wire
rope with carpenter’s level.
• Exert 110 percent of the crane’s rated capacity on the load lifting
measuring device and hold for 1 minute. Slowly decrease load until wire
rope is barely slack. Repeat foregoing once. Hook will be inspected as
in paragraph 2002.3 of MCO P11262.2_. This serves as the
nondestructive hook test.

Stability Test
Test Steps To perform a stability test, follow the steps listed in the table below:
Step Action
1 Choose any load from the load chart not in the black (shaded)
structural strength area of the rated load 360 degrees chart.
Chosen test load must clear outriggers during full 360 degrees
rotation.
2 Position the lift to the right or left side at 90 degrees to the side
of the lower carrier frame.
3 Outriggers at full horizontal extension and vertical jacks lowered
to level the turntable bearing. Check level with carpenter’s
level. Place level in direction of boom and at 90 degrees to
direction of boom to establish a level turntable. Tires must be
free of ground for test.
4 Position the hook block to obtain the appropriate operating test
radius for test boom length. By actual measurement, confirm the
operating radius to center of rotation. Adjustment may be
necessary to obtain the specified radius.
5 Mark the operating radius with a line of sufficient length to
ensure its visibility when the load is suspended over it. The line
should be on an arc about the axis of rotation for the tested
radius.
6 Position the test load inside the selected operating radius. The
rated load is equal to the test weight plus the hook block weight
(approximately 620 pounds) plus sling weights.
7 Boom up 2 to 4 degrees to position the hook block over the load
and to compensate for boom deflection. Lift the rated load.
Make sure the boom is down while keeping the load close to
ground until the rated load is hook block centered over the
selected operating radius and suspends the rated load 2 to 4
inches above the ground.
8 Swing the crane through the 360-degree rotation.
9 Lower load.

Annual Condition Inspections
Purpose The purpose of the annual condition inspection is to ensure the overall
structural, mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical components of the equipment
that had been maintained in a safe and serviceable condition and are
functioning properly. Each item of the load-lifting equipment should be
certified as condition inspected at least once annually. Inspections forms are
retained until the next inspection is complete.
Requirements In addition to the inspections required by the load-lifting equipment TMs, the
following discrepancies would require re-inspections before an ACI:
• All mechanical controls for proper adjustments and the entire control
mechanism for excessive wear of components and contamination by
leaking lubricants or foreign matter
• Hydraulic system seals, hoses, lines, fittings, pumps, and valves for
deterioration, leaks, and wear
• Mast and lift carriage assemblies to include forks, and chains for cracks,
broken welds, distortion, improper fit, and excessive wear
• Brake and steering systems for excessively worn or defective moving

parts to include seat switches, parking brakes, and brake interlock
switches
• Protective motor control circuit devices, battery cable connectors, battery

compartment insulation, thermo protectors, compartment covers, filters,
and emergency switches
• Proper marking
• Evidence of mishandling and/or damage
• Excessive wear on brake and clutch system linings, pawls, and ratchets
• Rope reeving for nonconformance with manufacturer’s specifications
• Bends, distorted sections, broken welds, excessive corrosion, and loose

bolts or rivets on the frame
Correct all deficiencies and repairs (if required) prior to load testing.

No-Load Test
Components There are two components that require a no-load test:
• Hoist
• Boom
Hoist The steps to test the hoist are listed in the table below:
Step Action
1 Raise and lower the hook through the full working distance of
hook travel.
2 Run the hoist block into the limit switch(es), where installed, at
slow speed.
3 Run the hoist block beyond the limit switch(es), where installed
by using the bypass switch.
Boom The steps to test the boom are listed in the table below:
Step Action
1 Raise and lower the boom through the full working range.
2 Raise the boom into the upper limit switch, where installed.
Raise the boom past the boom upper limit switch, using the
bypass switch.
3 Test the lower limit switch, where installed, by the same
procedure prescribed for testing the upper limit switch.
4 Extend and retract the telescoping boom sections the full
distance of travel.
5 Check the radius indicator by measuring the radius at the
minimum and maximum boom angle.
6 Operate other motions, including swing, through one cycle—
one full revolution of major components.

Load Test Certification
Certifying The certifying officer is responsible for ensuring the safety and reliability of
Officer all load-lifting equipment. The officer is assigned in writing by the CG/CO.
The certifying officer can be a Marine officer or a qualified civilian. Marine
certifying officers are from MOS 1310 (engineer equipment officer), 3510
(motor transport maintenance officer), or 2110 (ordnance vehicle maintenance
officer). The certifying officer designates the test directors and the inspection
test personnel.
Certification All items of equipment must be certified when initially put into service and an
Procedures acceptance LTI must be performed. Once this is completed, the equipment is
put on a schedule for an ACI. Although these items are certified annually, if
there is maintenance to the major components, such as welding or new
packing in the cylinders, the equipment must be retested. Forklifts must also
be certified and a condition inspection performed annually. The inspection
results are recorded in the same manner as they are for cranes.

Introduction
Scope This lesson briefly covers the operational employment of engineer equipment.
You will learn about the general engineer equipment capabilities and
characteristics, the supervisory aspects of employing and deploying various
engineer equipment types, and about safety factors and areas of
environmental concerns. Your own experiences will add to your knowledge
of how to employ the equipment.

Objectives
• Identify the four things an equipment chief should know before
employing engineer equipment.
• Identify the six steps involved in the employment of engineer equipment.
• Identify four things a supervisor should ensure before deploying load-

lifting equipment.
• Identify two types of engineer equipment items that are classified as

materiel-handling equipment.
• Define the term “general support” of engineer equipment.
• Identify two job site factors the equipment chief must consider before
employing equipment.
• Identify which type of equipment operation usually involves more

planning due to a variety of equipment requirements.

Supervising Equipment Employment
Assigning To assign equipment requires research. This research assists in the decision-
Equipment making process:
• Makes equipment assignments that serve mission requirements

• Changes equipment assignments when the S-4 assigns equipment to
support requests
Six Areas of The areas of supervising the employment of engineer equipment are listed
Supervision below:
• Equipment required by the mission

• Environmental controls and natural resource considerations
• Engineer equipment operations
• Materiel-handling equipment
• Earth-moving equipment employment
• General support of engineer equipment

Equipment Required by the Mission
Identify the To determine equipment requirements, you must identify the mission. Many
Mission times this is done for you, such as when S-4 sends out a general support
request. Consequently, sometimes the wrong equipment is requested and
different equipment must be sent later to do the job. To avoid sending the
wrong equipment, the chief should know the following:
• Equipment and personnel capability

• Mission requirements
• Operating standards and conditions
• Availability of your personnel and equipment

Controls and Considerations
Job Site Factors Once you have all the information about a particular tasking, you need to
consider the environmental controls and the use or misuse of natural
resources for the task, particularly when it involves earth-moving operations.
The following job site factors must be taken into consideration prior to
employing equipment:
• Identify the mission and the environmental and natural resource

considerations. Make personnel and equipment assignments. Brief the
situation to your operators and NCOs who will supervise at the job site.
• Be aware of the rules and regulations pertaining to removal of trees,

digging below ground level, and use of soils from borrow pits. In some
localities, if you remove trees one inch or larger, you are subject to large
fines.
• When dealing with bodies of water and hilly terrain, you may have
erosion control (soil runoff) problems.
• Check with range control and the natural resource environmental

authority for the area before beginning earth-moving operations.
• Digging below certain depths can endanger personnel.
• Buried lines can be struck and cut.
Note: Contact the utility section for the area. They will come to the planned
digging site.
CAUTION: Check for buried lines and pipes before you dig!
Environmental Destruction of any non-government property has to be compensated for by

Considerations the government or by the individual Marine who does the damage, so be
aware of damage made by heavy equipment and make sure your operators
are aware at all times of the impact of the heavy equipment they operate.
Heavy equipment simply moving across some surfaces can do extensive

damage such as severing ground laid communication wires and damaging
asphalt. Tracked vehicles easily place ruts in soft turf.

Operations
Assignments It is imperative that you know your operators’ proficiency levels and present
physical condition. The procedure is listed below:
• Make sure personnel are licensed to operate a given item of equipment.
• Assign operators missions that coincide with their proficiency or provide

close on site proficiency supervisory personnel.
• Ensure the physical alertness of your operators. In most cases,

medications, hangovers, fatigue, etc. disqualify an individual from
operating engineer equipment.
• Know the equipment used by the Marine Corps and the equipment
capabilities.
Employment Equipment must be employed for specific tasks according to its operational
capabilities. Equipment currently used by the Marine Corps, not including
garrison mobile equipment (GME), are listed below:
• Caterpillar D7G Dozer

• J.I. Case 1150E Dozer
• J.I. Case 1155E Tracked Loader
• Caterpillar 130G Grader
• Caterpillar 621B Scraper
• RAYGO 420C Vibratory Compactor
• John Deere 644EZ TRAM (Tractor Rubber Tired Articulated Steering
Multipurpose)
• Caterpillar 988B RTCH (Rough Terrain Container Handler)
• J.I. Case 1085 Excavator
• M9 ACE. (Armored Combat Earthmover)
• Lorain LRT 110 7½-Ton Crane
• P&H 25-Ton HSHMC (High Speed High Mobility Crane)
• Ingersoll Rand 260CFM Compressor
• Tymco 600 Street Sweeper
• Engineer Equipment Trailer (EET) Model MT020
• Caterpillar Backhoe 420D IT
• Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklift (LCRTF) TX 51-19M
• SkyTrak-MMV
Note: Equipment characteristics are discussed further in Appendix A.

Material-Handling Equipment
Definition Material handling refers to picking up and moving raw materials, equipment,
parts, supplies, finished materials, and maintenance items. Cranes and
forklifts are classified as material handlers.
Safety Continuous safety and training procedures for material-handling equipment

Considerations should be conducted regularly at the operations section. Accidents are likely
to occur more often with forklifts and cranes than with earth-moving
equipment due to the mobility and diversity of the operating sites and the
different conditions. As the equipment chief, you must stress safety
awareness and hazard prevention:
• Use experienced personnel to establish a training program for your

platoon.
• Train your younger Marines so they develop into confident and proficient
operators.
OSHA Material handlers that have a load-lifting chart can be operated only by
Considerations school-trained personnel. Operators must ensure they do not exceed the
machine’s lifting capacity because this could result in extensive equipment
damage and possible personal injury. Material handlers now fall under the
OSHA load test and certification requirements (see MCO P11262.2_,
Inspection, Testing and Certification of Tactical Ground Load Lifting
Equipment).
The equipment chief must ensure all load-lifting equipment is properly load
tested, certified, clearly marked, and safety inspected before it is operated.

Earth-Moving Equipment
Definition Earth-moving equipment refers to bulldozers, scrapers, graders, excavators,

bucket loaders, and other types of similar equipment.
Special Earth-moving operations involve cutting and filling earth to build and repair
Requirements roads, runways, berms, emplacements, etc. You must plan, schedule, and
coordinate all phases of construction for earth-moving operations.
Usually, earth-moving operations require more time, planning, and

coordination than material-handling operations because you must obtain a
variety of equipment and make estimations for time and material
requirements.

General Support Equipment
Definition General support engineer equipment is the equipment you have available to
support requested tasks from your supported unit(s).
Reporting According to the established SOP, an equipment availability report is
