Section II. PMCS TABLES
General
8.2.1.1
Item No column. Items in this column are for reference. When completing DA Form
2404 (equipment inspection and maintenance worksheet), include the item number
for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that
you must do the checks and services for the intervals listed.
8.2.1.2
Interval column. This column describes when, and how often, the check is to be
made. Thus, if a given check is performed before operation, the word Before is
opposite the check in the interval column.
(vi)
Perform the (Before) CHECKS before operating bridge.
(vii)
Perform the (During) CHECKS while operating bridge. During operation
means to monitor bridge and its related components while being operated.
(viii)
Perform the (After) CHECKS right after operating the bridge or at the end of
the mission.
(ix)
Perform the (Storage) CHECKS once every six months.
8.2.1.3
Location/Item to Check Service column. The items listed in this column are divided
into groups indicating the portion of the equipment of which they are a part, i.e. front,
left, engine. Under these groupings, a few common words are used to identify the
specific item being checked.
8.2.1.4
Procedure column. This column contains a brief description of the procedure by
which the check is performed.
8.2.1.5
Not Fully Mission Capable If: column. This column contains the criteria that causes
the equipment to be classified as NOT READY/NOT AVAILABLE because of inability
to perform its primary mission. An entry in this column will identify conditions that
will make the equipment not ready/available for readiness reporting purposes.
Shortened Maintenance Intervals
8.2.2.1
Extreme weather conditions, periods of high use, or combat conditions may dictate
that PMCS is performed more often than is required in the PMCS tables.
Lubrication Requirements

For lubrication requirements and procedures, refer to section 8.7.
