Deadlining Unserviced Equipment
Sometimes quarterly,
semiannual and annual
services come due at
nearly the same time. To
save time and manpower,
some units decide to do
these services at the
same time.
However, combining
services
does not affect
the actual service due
date for any of the
scheduled services.
Quarterly services
have shorter variances
than semiannuals, and
semiannuals have shorter
variances than annuals.
So when combining
services, do the shorter
variance first: quarterly
followed by semiannual
and then annual.
That way if your
mechanic is interrupted
in doing the services,
more of the most
pressing service will
be completed.
When scheduled
services are
completed within
the variance
window, the
scheduled
service date
is entered as
the date of
completion.
if the service
is completed
before
the
actual scheduled
date, make a
note and input
the information
on the actual
scheduled
service date.
if the service is
performed
after
the variance
deadline, enter
the actual
service date
and recompute
future services
based on that
date.

Revised
When you miss servicing
vehicles or equipment within the
variance window, they must be
administratively deadlined. The
deadline is reported in SAMS-E
with fault status symbol “E”.
Administratively
deadlined vehicles
and equipment cannot
be operated until the
scheduled services
are completed.
Vehicles on extended dispatch when the variance window
closes must be ‘‘circle Xd’’ by the commander for transfer
to mechanics who can perform the scheduled service.
