I am extremely honored to be the Commander of
the US Army Materiel Command, Logistics Support
Activity, as we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of
PS,
The Preventive Maintenance Monthly,
known to its
loyal readers as PS Magazine.
Since 1951, PS Magazine has been an important
aspect of the Army’s logistical landscape, providing
generations of Soldiers the latest hot tips on operating
and maintaining their equipment. Our Nation provides
its armed forces with the best equipment in the world.
PS Magazine has been on point now for 60 years,
ensuring that our equipment and weapon systems are
always ready to Fght, stay in the Fght, and return to
the Fght.
As we look back over the past 60 years I would like
to salute the writers, artists, editors, and printers that
have made each and every one of the 700 plus issues
of PS Magazine fresh and relevant. Their creativity,
dedication, and commitment have resulted in monthly
editions that continue to attract their reading audience
and provide actionable information which contributes
mightily to equipment readiness and Soldier safety.
Again, congratulations to all of them! They can be
very proud of their accomplishments.
As you read this, you’re joining hundreds of
thousands of your fellow Soldiers that have been
entertained and, most importantly, instructed by PS
Magazine over the years.
As MSG Half-Mast asks,
“Would you stake
your life (right now) on the condition of your
equipment?”
To ensure the answer is
“Yes”,
I
encourage you to read on through this edition, and
future editions of the Army’s preeminent preventive
maintenance publication—PS Magazine.
