CHECKS AND SERVICES

5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
PMCS is the care, servicing, inspection, detection, and correction of minor faults before these faults cause serious damage, failure, or injury. The procedure and the category of maintenance to perform PMCS are found in the -10 and -20 Equipment Technical Manuals and Lubrication Orders.

6. TM -10/-20 MAINTENANCE STANDARD
The condition of the equipment when:
The equipment is fully mission capable (FMC)
All faults are identified using the “items to check” column of the applicable TM -10-series and TM -20-series PMCS table and:
Corrective actions, authorized to be accomplished at unit level, and for which required parts are available, are completed
Required parts are requisitioned for faults that require them to complete the corrective actions

7. TM -10/-20 MAINTENANCE STANDARD (Cont’d)
Corrective actions that are authorized to be accomplished at a maintenance level above the unit are on a valid direct support maintenance request
Equipment services are performed within the scheduled service interval
All current urgent and limited urgent modification work orders (MWOs) are applied
All authorized basic issue items (BII) and components of the end item (COEI) are present and serviceable or on a valid requisition

8. FULLY MISSION CAPABLE (FMC)
Systems and equipment that are safe and have all mission-essential subsystems installed and operating as designated by applicable Army regulation. A full mission capable vehicle or system has no faults that are listed in the “not fully mission capable ready if” columns of the -10/-20 TM PMCS tables that apply to the vehicle/system or its subsystem required by AR The terms ready/available and full mission capable refer to the same status: equipment is on hand and able to perform its combat missions.
