Purpose

a. This pamphlet provides information needed for field maintenance operations. It does not replace other publications. Instead, this pamphlet takes the applicable maintenance regulations and provides a single go-to reference for field maintenance operations. It applies to all Army equipment except installation equipment (see AR 420-1 and technical manual (TM) 5-600 series), industrial production equipment, and nonstandard equipment that is locally purchased and has not been type-classified or assigned a national stock number (NSN) (however, non-tactical (commercial) wheeled vehicles are covered by this pamphlet), equipment procured with non-appropriated funds, and medical equipment covered by AR 40-61.

b. The guidance found in this pamphlet can be applied to any field maintenance operation, regardless of the density of equipment, or if field maintenance support is organic in direct support or attached from a forward support company (FSC) or received on an area support basis at echelons above brigade (EAB) level.

Applicability. This pamphlet applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. During mobilization, the proponent may modify guidance and procedures contained in this publication
