Maintenance Categories - A Substudy of the Maintenance Support Structure for Contingency Forces Study (ACN 21012).

Abstract

This study briefly recounts the origins of the current four categories or levels of maintenance effort (organizational, direct support, general support, and depot maintenance), and analyzes the background for current allocations of maintenance tasks. Teams of field-experinced maintenance personnel performed Level of Repair Analyses on 50 Army maintenance-significant end items, and made necessary corrections in their Maintenance Allocation Charts. The cost/operational effectiveness of these corrected allocations was verified in comparison with the uncorrected allocations in a contractor- developed computer simulation which incorporated a combat scenario. The study concludes that some specific clarifications and minor policy changes in Army regulations and technical manuals are required. (Author)
