“We have the world’s best equipment.”
That’s a statement that was proven
over and over during the challenge of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
But never forget that even the world’s best equipment can’t do its mission with-
out maintenance—tough, sweaty, back-breaking maintenance.
Now that some of you are finally coming home, there’s another battle to fight.
You’ve got to stand toe-to-toe with the enemy of all equipment that must be trans-
ported from one side of the world to the other: Neglect.
Your equipment will miss a lot of preventive maintenance on the long trip back.
So don’t try to put off until later what you should be doing now.
There’s sand and dirt in that equipment. It’s in transmissions, engines, radiators,
brakes, axles and final drives. Even closed systems, like the Bradley’s transmission,
may be contaminated.
So how do you prepare now for what might happen tomorrow? Pull your annual
services—complete, total, top-to-bottom, front-to-rear—as soon as possible!
After all, preventive maintenance is what it takes to win this war, too.
we’re
finally
heading
home!
