S
uccessful sports teams are fond of saying that “the
best offense is a good defense”.
That translates to winning on another field—the bat-
tlefield: If the enemy can’t beat your defense, he’s not
going to win any battles.
How do your toughen up your defense for the battle-
field? By preventive maintenance on your equipment.
While military tactics deploy soldiers and equipment
as situations demand or where advantage can be
gained, it is the condition of equipment that holds the
line and helps carry the day.
Would you stake your life right now on the condition
of your equipment?
If there’s any doubt, get out the maintenance pubs
and get to work. Just as ball players like their chances
when the defense is working, our chances improve
tremendously when your defense is PM.
The Best
offense
is a good
defense!
We have the
world’s
best
equipment.
..
take care of it!
