f Soldiers followed these two simple rules, they would save themselves and their
equipment a lot of trouble.
The Army spends a great deal of time preparing operator technical manuals that
tell you exactly what you need to do to keep your weapon, vehicle, aircraft, or radio
operating smoothly.
If you follow the PMCS and other maintenance instructions in the -10 TM with true
dedication, you have an excellent shot of not having any trouble with your equipment.
And even if you do, the TM’s troubleshooting chart will often help Fx the trouble.
But if you think you can improve on what the TM instructs you to do, then you’re
asking for trouble.
±or example, using a commercial sight on your M16 ri²e or a
different lubricant than what the TM lists, can leave you missing the target or, even
worse, not being able to Fre at all because your ri²e jammed.
Also, just because something has an NSN doesn’t mean it’s OK to use.
A particular
lubricant might be Fne for your M16 ri²e, but deFnitely shouldn’t be used on the
MK 19 machine gun.
Once again, your TM has the word.
±ollow it and you should
be OK.
If you aren’t sure you understand something in the TM, contact your local
logistics assistance ofFce (LAO).
The LAO has equipment experts who can clear up
your confusion.
Let your TM be your guide and you will stay on the road to success.
