DIRECT EXCHANGE.
A direct exchange system is necessary to control tire transactions through the supply system. Although the
receipt and issue of a tire is a supply action, the inspection and classification is a maintenance
responsibility. Only through proper coordination between Maintenance and Supply will a direct exchange
system be successful. Tires should not be accepted by Supply for direct exchange unless evidence of
inspection and classification by Maintenance is presented.

TRAINING COURSES.
To enhance safety, performance and value from tires it is very important that supervisors ensure that any
subordinates are trained properly to inspect, repair and service tires. The U.S. Army Tank Automotive and
Armaments Command (TACOM) does offer training course through approved contractors.
These training
courses are tailored for the military and cost a nominal fee, which is the unit's responsibility.
