xtreme conditions is what it’s called in your TMs. As in, extreme conditions may
increase the frequency and intensity of your preventive maintenance requirements.
What are extreme conditions? Most of you know the answer to that Frsthand.
You’ve walked on, and in, the extreme conditions of Afghanistan and Iraq. You’ve
felt the extreme conditions blowing sand and grit in your mouth while your sweaty
ACUs stick to you like setting plaster.
But there are other extreme conditions—extreme conditions that suddenly happen
in non-extreme places. Suppose you’re stateside in a moderate climate. Then,
unexpectedly, a rain-drenched spring ends with a surprising late freeze. Suddenly,
your equipment is in an extreme condition.
Maybe a mild summer has turned into ten straight days of 100°F plus heat. You’re
rolling with it, but your equipment is screaming,
“This is extreme!”

Extreme Conditions
Here’s the point:
a
good
preventive
maintenance plan
follows the TM
PMCS schedule.
if you’re the NCO
in charge of PM in
your shop or motor
pool, know that when
weather or conditions
change, the condition
of your equipment
changes, too.
A
great
preventive
maintenance plan follows
the TM PMCS schedule, but is
ready to meet the needs of
sudden, extreme conditions.
they told
me to expect
extreme
conditions…
but I never
expected
them
here!
Ten days in a
row above 100°!
That’s
extreme
and a
surprise!
