Dear Half-Mast,
You've probably
answered this a hundred
times before, but we just
finished an inspection and
ran into a problem that only
you can solve. We were
told that information in PS
Magazine cannot be used
until it's in a TM, TB, AR,
FM, etc. PS is the most
useful periodical in the
whole US Army, but some
people are giving us a hard
time. Please, Sarge, what
can
Ç
tell them to get them
of± our aching backs?
SFC T. F. A²
Dear Sergeant
È F
A.,
You 're right, Sarge, that question does keep poppiNg up an± the short
²nswer Is tHIs: PS is as usable as your command structure allows It to be.

tive maiNtenance is a command responsibIlit³ at all levels of
superv!´Lon µnd comman±. DA helps meet its responsibilit³ in this area by
publishing PS MagazIne to Help other commanders meet tHeir respon-
sibilities in the mµinTeNance of mµteriel.
PS accomplisHes ¶His mission By packaging the information so ¶hµt It is
²imed at tHe soldiers wHo will actually be performing tHe maintenance. All thE
/co·manders have to do is say GO or ¸O¹GO.
All inform²tIon in PS is reviewed and approved by tHe same agencies or comº
m²nds tHat put out tHe »M's, ¼O's, AR's and o¶her oFci²l publications.
PS ±oes not cHange the contenT of a dIrective publicatIon. ½e only tHing that
changes a »M, for example, is a published change to that »M. Wat PS does
on occasion, along wi¶h o¶Her communications ¾edia sucH as
ÉÊ
DIgests
µnd headsHed ¾essages, is ¶o point out thµt tHe responsible experts have found
the Info in tHe publica¶ion to be ou¶dated, incorrect or misleading.*
!
this faulty infor¾ation a¿ects personnel safety, or can result in damage to
equÀpment, ¶he commanders have the responsIbiliÁ³Âand the ²utHoriÁ³Ãto decide
the issue. SiNce it's tHeIr equiÄmen¶ and tHeir people at stake, most commanders
cHoose to go witH information tHÅÆ have reason to believe is current and
correct ovÇr infor¾ation tha¶ is known to be wrong.
