“Somewhere, sometime, the success or
failure of critical national policies will
once again rest in the hands of a few good,
well-led soldiers, who trained well in time
of peace to fight well in time of war.”
FM 100-1
Operators, most decisions in the Army go from the top down—where
you and your unit’s equipment will be sent when the balloon goes up,
for instance. But information on how ready that equipment is to do its
job comes from the bottom up.
The person best suited to determine what state your equipment is
in…is you.
Think about that the next time you pull preventive maintenance check
and services (PMCS).
Correct what you can and report what you can’t. Don’t fudge it. If it’s
not ready, say so.
Your input on the inspection worksheet is your commander’s eyes
and ears for determining readiness. And readiness helps decide which
units are ready for the important assignments.
Make sure your report tells it like it is.
