Purpose

This handbook provides assistance to commanders at the division level and below and to their staffs, leaders and soldiers in order to achieve and sustain the Army Maintenance Standard for assigned and attached equipment as prescribed in Army Regulation (AR) 750-1 and outlined in paragraph 1-2 below. The Army Maintenance Standard is the foundation of the overall maintenance program. It is the required end-state for Army equipment, enabling Army combat and combat support forces to generate combat power to accomplish assigned missions. The Army is transforming and reorganizing for 21st-century operations and this pamphlet is intended to give day-to-day assistance to maintenance soldiers and their leaders. Although the primary target audience for this pamphlet includes commanders, leaders, and soldiers at battalion level and below, where the maintenance operations take place, the pamphlet will prove useful to leaders at all command levels. This pamphlet is to be used as a daily guidebook to the references, authorities, and principles of successful Army maintenance operations.
