When Half-Mast
first joined the
Army family, supply
requisitions were
done in multiple
copies using
carbon
paper.
now we use
computers…
…Automotive
mechanics had
to diagnose
problems by
sound, smell,
and operating
conditions.
now vehicles
are beginning
to be fielded
with built-in
diagnostics.
We at PS are simply
thankful for all the
maintainers and
logisticians that keep
our vehicles and
equipment ready to
fight where we must.
let’s
keep up
the pm
fight!
Many thick binders of
maintenance manuals
have been
reduced
to
TMs on CD-ROM,
and many TMs are
available online.
The ETMs themselves
are
evolving
into
interactive software
that can “communicate”
with equipment
systems.
Modular design of equipment
and vehicles now helps
mechanics and technicians
repair equipment by replacing
components instead of
whole systems.
And, while there are still
delays in our requisitions, we
remain the
best equipped
and supplied
of any
nation’s armed forces.
