ome inspectors and supervisors tell equipment operators and mechanics that
information in PS Magazine is not the real deal. They say it’s not official until it
shows up in a TM, AR or FM.
Preventive Maintenance
is a command re-
sponsibility. DA helps meet its responsibility in
this area by publishing PS to help unit com-
manders meet their responsibilities in the main-
tenance of equipment.
PS does its job by packaging information for
soldiers who perform the main-
tenance. All a commander has
to do is say “GO” or “NO-GO.”
All information in PS is
reviewed and approved by
the same agencies or com-
mands that put out the TMs,
ARs, FMs and other official
publications.
PS does not change the content of a direc-
tive publication. The only thing that changes a
TM, for instance, is a published change or revi-
sion to that TM. What PS does on occasion,
along with such things as EIR Digests and
headshed messages, is to point out that the
info in a publication is outdated, incorrect or
misleading.
If this faulty information affects safety, or
can damage equipment, commanders have
the responsibility—and the authority—to
decide the issue. Since it’s their equipment
and their people at stake, most commanders
choose to go with information that is current
and correct.
the Truth
is
,
the info in
ps
is as
usable
as commanders
allow it
to be.
