TM 5-3895-376-14&P
i. Repair. The application of maintenance serv-
ices1, including fault location / troubleshooting2, re-
moval/installation, and disassembly/assembly3
procedures and maintenance actions4 to identify trou-
bles and restore serviceability to an item by correcting
specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a
part, subassembly, module (component or assembly),
end item, or system.
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/ac-
tion) prescribed to restore an item to completely serv-
iceable/ operational condition as required by
maintenance standards in appropriate technical publi-
cations (i.e., DMWR). Overhaul is normally the high-
est degree of maintenance performed by the Army.
Overhaul does not normally return an item to like new
condition.
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions
necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equip-
ment to a like new condition in accordance with origi-
nal manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest
degree of material maintenance applied to Army
equipment, The rebuild operation includes the act of
returning to zero those age measurements (e.g.,
hour/miles) considered in classifying Army equip-
ment/components.
B-3. Explanation of Columns in the MAC,
Section II.
a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists
functional grouping codes, the purpose of which is to
identify maintenance significant components, assem-
blies, subassemblies, and modules with the next
higher assembly.
b. Column 2, Component / Assembly. Column
2 contains the item names of components, assem-
blies, subassemblies, and modules for which mainte-
nance is authorized.
c. Column 3, Maintenance Function. Column
3 lists the functions to be performed on the item listed
in Column 2. (For detailed explanation of these func-
tions, see Paragraph B-2.)
d. Column 4, Maintenance Level. Column 4
specifies each level of maintenance authorized to per-
form each function listed in Column 3, by indicating
work time required (expressed as manhours in whole
hours or decimals) in the appropriate subcolumn. This
work-time figure represents the active time required
to perform that maintenance function at the indicated
level of maintenance. If the number or complexity of
the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary
at different maintenance levels, appropriate work-time
figures are shown for each level. The work-time
figure represents the average time required to restore
an item (assembly, subassembly, component, mod-
ule, end item, or system) to a serviceable condition
under typical field operating conditions. This time in-
cludes preparation time (including any necessary dis-
assembly/assembly time), troubleshooting/fault
location time, and quality assurance time in addition
to the time required to perform the specific tasks Iden-
tified for the maintenance functions authorized in the
maintenance allocation chart. The symbol designa-
tions for the various maintenance levels are as fol-
lows:
C - Operator or crew maintenance
O - Unit maintenance
F - Direct support maintenance
L - Specialized Repair Activity (SRA)5
H - General support maintenance
D - Depot maintenance
1
Services - Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, and/or replace.
2
Fault location/troubleshooting - The process of investigating and detecting the cause of equipment malfunction-
ing; the act of Isolating a fault within a system or unit under test (UT).
3
Disassembly/assembly - The step-by-step breakdown (taking apart) of a spare/functional group coded item to
the level of its least component, that is assigned an SMR code for the level of maintenance under consideration
(i.e., identified as maintenance significant).
4
Actions - Welding, grinding, riveting, straightening. facing, machining, and/or resurfacing.
5
This maintenance level IS not included in Section II, column (4) of the Maintenance Allocation Chart. Functions to
this level of maintenance are identified by a work-time figure in the H column of Section II, column (4), and an
associated reference code is used in the Remarks column (6). This code is keyed to Section IV, Remarks, and
the SRA complete repair application is explained there.
