By Order of the Secretary of the Army:
ERIC K. SHINSEKI
General, United States Army Chief of Staff
Official:
he business of building military equipment
—
from trucks to tanks to helicopter
—has come a long way from the days of stubby pencils and drafting paper.
But while today’s engineers use computers to draw and manufacture almost
everything, the business of maintaining equipment starts with a very basic
task: the application of lubricants by hand.
Whether you’re running a fleet of ancient M35A2s or brand-new FMTVs,
lubricants are necessary to keep those trucks hard at work.
It also doesn’t really matter that the lubricants are better than they used to
be. They still must be
applied when needed
and
in the amounts called for
by environmental conditions.
So it just makes sense for you maintainers to pay some respect to the
equipment you’ve been given to defend your country. Get out that lubrication
order or find out where the information is located in your -10 or -20 TM.
Greasing a fitting or using an oil can is cheap insurance for your equipment—
and maybe even for you.
c'mon,
we've got
a
job to
do
!
let's
go
get
'em
