rmy leaders know PMCS done correctly is a force multiplier. Likewise, damaged
or failing equipment can reduce unit readiness. Poor or neglected PMCS also lowers
Soldier morale and decreases safety.
First-line supervisors, you are the master
key in this equation. Given proper guidance,
motivation and resources, most Soldiers will
do scheduled PMCS and do it well. But they
still look to you to set a positive example and
offer feedback.
By setting up effective PMCS programs and
actively observing mechanics at work, you
can ensure your unit upholds high standards at
home and in the ±eld. This means taking an
active and sometimes even a creative approach
to continually inspire them to do their best.
