(3) lists the estimated number of soldiers needed and the estimated time
required to complete the repair,
(4) states the operational limitations caused by the repair action before
experiencing further damage/degradation to the vehicle,
(5) provides other expedient options you can use depending on the availability
of personnel, materials, tools, and/or time (This does not include standard maintenance
procedures or recovery).

that chapter. If you know exactly what your problem is, you can use the index to find
the proper expedient repair procedure.
