CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1- 1. Purpose. This regulation defines the policies and responsibilities of the United States Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE), as they apply to personal property maintenance, and incorporates
Department of the Army (DA) policies for general maintenance operations, commodity oriented
maintenance, maintenance management, and contract maintenance support for personal property.
This regulation sets policy and establishes responsibilities for the maintenance of military and civil
personal property.
l-2. Applicability This regulation applies to all HQUSACE elements, major subordinate
commands (MSC), districts, laboratories, and field operating activities (FOA) except active duty
units. Note: This regulation does not apply to “real property or dredges.”
a. This regulation also applies to all self propelled, towed, or stationary self-powered personal
property, excluding equipment specified in ER 56-2-1. At the minimum, all personal property with
an acquisition value criteria of $5,000.00 or more, including items used together to form a system
with total acquisitionvalue of $5,000.00 or more, are subject to the full requirements and methods
contained in this regulation.
b. This regulation also applies to all government furnished property, including that used at
government owned, contractor operated (GOCO) projects. In accordance with the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), section 45.102, contractors are required to furnish all property
necessary to perform government contracts. However, there are times when it is in the best interest
of the government to provide property to a contractor in performance of their contract. When this
is the case, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS), and Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) Subpart
45 (Government Property ) become the governing regulatory system for that property.
c. The requiring activity must contact the appropriate Contracting Officer and discuss the
appropriate method and conditions required for providing government property in accordance with
FAR, DFARS and AFARS Subpart 45. At this time the Statement of Work (SOW) should be
discussed so the appropriate requirements will be included therein.
d. Some examples to consider are:
(1) If automated systems are provided, the SOW needs to state the requirements of the
contractor. It should explain what is expected from the contractor, but not how to accomplish the
requirement.
1-1
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
(2) If documenting and reporting is required, the SOW needs to state the requirements of the
contractor. It should explain what is expected from the contractor, but not how to accomplish the
requirement.
(3) If there is a different requirement for maintaining the property, than as listed in FAR,
DFARS, or AFARS Subpart 45, then the specific requirement should be stated.
(4) If there are regulations that the contractor must have in order to comply with some
requirements, those regulations must be provided and listed in an appendix of the contract. The
SOW must indicate what the requirements are. When the contractor is furnished GOCO equipment
that requires maintenance actions, this regulation and EP 750-1-1 will be provided and cited in a
contract appendix.
(5) The contracting officer will control government property IAW the FAR, DFARS and
AFARS Subpart 45.
1-3. References. References are listed in Appendix A.
1-4. Exceptions. Requests to waive applications to any provisions of this regulation will be
submitted through command channels to HQUSACE (CELD-MS), Washington, D.C. 20314-1000.
The request for waiver will include:

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
3-1. General. To ensure the most cost-effective use of maintenance resources, the economic
repairability of unserviceable personal property will be determined prior to the initiation of any
action to restore the personal property to a serviceable condition.
3-2. Personal Property Evaluations.
a. Unserviceable personal property, or personal property needing expensive repairs will be
evaluated using equipment maintenance and serviceability standards. This evaluation may be used
to determine if the unserviceable condition is the result of other than fair wear and tear. When the
determination is made to repair or replace this item, a DA Form 3953 (Purchase Request and
Commitment) will be submitted to include a justification statement supporting the decision.
b. When the evaluation is in conjunction with a Report of Survey and the actual cost cannot
be determined, an itemized listing of the Estimated Cost of Damages (ECOD) will be included.
Instructions for preparing an ECOD are found in DA PAM 738-750.
c. Equipment evaluations should become part of the history jacket.

and is approved in writing (including electronic mail or similar means), by the commander or
designated representative of the organization performing the controlled exchange action.
a. Required serviceable parts, components and assemblies cannot be obtained through
repairable exchange, maintenance (repair and return), or supply channels in time to meet mission
requirements. The maintenance officer must ensure that a valid request has been submitted to
replace the unserviceable item prior to using controlled exchange procedures.
b. All the unserviceable,repairable materiel involved is owned or under control of the activity
performing the controlled exchange action.
c. The maintenance effort required to restore all the unserviceable,repairable personal property
to a full mission capable condition is within the capability of the activity performing the controlled
exchange.

a. Administrative storage will be considered when:
(1) An activity lacks operating funds, people and other resources, or normal usage of its
equipment is not adequate to sustain materiel readiness.
(2) Lack of maintenance resources causes an activity to be incapable of performing the
required routine maintenance of its personal property.
(3) Equipment that exceeds the activity’s capability to operate or maintain but is required to
be retained for contingency or other valid reasons as determined by the commander.
(4) Completion of current mission does not require the use of authorized personal property on
a routine basis (seasonal).
(5) Before the decision to use administrative storage, the commander will consider all
workable options for maintaining personal property readiness.
b. Commanders/directors may authorize the administrative storage of their personal property
within guidance furnished by this regulation. To maximum extent practical, administrative storage
of personal property will be controlled and supervised at district/laboratory level or above.
3-5
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
c. Commanders/directors will:
(1) Furnish assistance as required in carrying out an administrative storage program.
(2) Monitor the condition of materiel in administrative storage in their commands.
(3) Conduct a command level review of administrative storage at least every 6 months to
determine the need and effectiveness of the program.
d. When more than 15 percent of an organization’s on-hand equipment must be placed in
administrative storage, the commander/director will consider initiating action to reorganize the
activity at a level of equipment authorization that can be operated and maintained.
e. Equipment in administrative storage will have all major subsystems exercised as directed
by applicable owners’ manual. Any faults detected will be corrected. The personal property will
then be completely reprocessed if it is to be returned to administrative storage.
f. All regularly scheduled preventive maintenance services are suspended while materiel is in
administrative storage. Before personal property is placed in administrative storage, all operator
maintenance must be completed.
g. Special scheduled services, inspections, maintenance standards and procedures, or other
evaluations prescribed in applicable materiel operators’ manuals will be followed. Performance of
the services is the responsibility of the activity storing the materiel. Faults noted during these
required services, inspections and evaluations are corrected as quickly as practicable.
h. Equipment will be rotated per a rotational plan that will keep it exercised and reduce
maintenance effort.
i. Equipment will be stored to provide maximum protection from the elements, to provide
access for inspection, maintenance, and exercising, and to provide physical separation from active
personal property.
j. The access to materiel in administrative storage will be strictly controlled to prevent
cannibalization of pilferage.
3-11. Calibrations Programs. The use and care of test, measurement and diagnostic equipment
within USACE is extremely important. Commanders at all levels will ensure a calibrations program
is used to the maximum extent possible. AR 750-43 and TB 43-180 outline the policies and
procedures to be followed if the Army’s program is used. The equipment that is covered by this
3-6
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
program are items used to troubleshoot and repair other items, i.e., multimeters, torque wrenches,
gauges, etc. It can be used for, but is not solely intended for, laboratory equipment. The program
is item-specific and the use of other calibration sources is allowed for Corps equipment.
3-12. Cannibalization of Materiel.
a. Cannibalization is the authorized removal of components from materiel designated
for disposal. Cannibalization supplements supply operations providing assets not immediately
available through the supply system. Degradation of resale value should be considered prior to the
determination to use cannibalization.
b. Materiel awaiting disposition will not be cannibalized. Parts will only be removed after the
end item is accepted into a cannibalization point and with the approval of the accountable officer.
c. Policies and procedures for the establishment and operation of cannibalization points are
contained in AR 710-2, DA PAM 710-2-2 and ER 700-1-1.
3- 13. Maintenance of Pneumatic Tires.
a. Public Law 99-272 requires all government agencies to use and procure retread tires to the
maximum extent possible. The following paragraphs address the basic policy pertaining to retread
tires.
(1) Command emphasis is required at all levels to obtain maximum safety, savings and
environmental benefits from the use of retread tires.
(2) Surveillance procedures will be established to ensure that all repairable vehicle and
equipment tires are recovered prior to the end of their useful life.
(3) Repairable tires will be retreaded, not discarded or processed through Defense
Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO), unless classified not repairable/not economically
repairable by qualified technical inspectors. Repairable tires will not be given or sold to commercial
vendors for disposal.
(4) Except for the restrictions listed below, or as approved by waiver from HQUSACE
(CELD-MS), all activities will use retread tires in accordance with Public Law 99-272.
(a) Two-ply tires, without breaker strips or belts will not be retreaded.
3-7
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
(b) All buses and passenger vans with an occupancy capacity of 15 personnel or more will not
be operated with retread tires on the steering axles.
(c) M520 truck series and M747 (or equivalent) semitrailers will not be operated with retread
tires.
(d) All IO-ton and above, truck tractors will not be operated with retread tires on the steering
axles.
(e) All emergency vehicles (i.e., fire trucks, police/ranger vehicle, etc.) will not be operated
with retread tires on the steering axles.
(f) All activities will comply with Federal, state or local codes that prohibit the use of retreads.
(5) Regrooving of tires is not permitted because it is not structurally viable or cost-effective.
b. Responsibilities of all commanders/directors are:
(1) Obtain the most cost-efficient use of the retread tire program and maximize safety during
pneumatic tire maintenance.
(2) Maximize the use of training courses dealing with pneumatic tires.
(3) Ensure thorough inspections of pneumatic tires mounted on vehicles and equipment during
PMCS and their removal when tread depth reaches the dimension for retreading.
(4) Ensure all maintenance personnel are in compliance with TM 9-2610-200-24, TM
9-2610-201-14, and applicable OSHA regulations.
(5) Assuring that qualified personnel are available to inspect and classify tires prior to turn-in
for retreading or for disposal and to perform acceptance inspections upon receipt of retread tires.
c. Quality of retread tires. Retreading can be performed several times as long as the casing is
removed from the vehicle/equipment before damage occurs. Activities and stock record accounts
will ensure retread tires are inspected for quality of workmanship upon receipt. If deficiencies in
quality or workmanship are noted, the inspector will initiate a Quality Deficiency Report/ Equipment
Improvement Recommendation (QDR/EIR) to the applicable command.
d. Training. All commanders will ensure that training is provided to personnel who service
single-piece or multi-piece rims and wheels. Records will be maintained documenting this training.
3-8
ER 750-1-l
30 Jan 97
e. Warranties. Tires repaired or retreaded by General Services Administration contractor or
local commercial sources are guaranteed against defects for the tread life of the tire. Defective tires
will be returned to the contractor for repair or adjustment. Defective tires rebuilt by government
facilities will be retained as exhibits and reported for disposition.
f. Mixing of radial and bias ply tires is not permitted. Mixing of radial and bias ply tires can
result in the loss of steering control, inadequate vehicle handling and/or mechanical damage. Radial
tires should always be used in sets. The term “sets” means all tires on the vehicle including the
spare.
3-14. Maintenance Expenditure Limits (MEL).
a. The MEL is a total allowable one-time cost to restore an end item, major component or
repairable component to a fully serviceable condition.
b. MELs will be used to ensure economic and operational effectiveness of USACE
maintenance. Required repairs will not be broken into separate job estimates to bypass prescribed
MELs.
c. MELs for Revolving Fund and Project Fund owned equipment are contained in ER
1125-2-301. MELs for Administrative Use Vehicles are contained in ER 56-2-l. Department of
the Army has published MELs for military standard equipment in the Technical Bulletin (TB) series
43-0002. MELs for office machines, furniture and materiels handling equipment is contained in
CFR Title 41. Equipment not covered by any of the above publications will have a MEL assigned
locally. This process will take place within 30 days of item being posted to the property book. Life
expectancy, depreciation, uniqueness, repair parts and labor costs are some of the items to consider
when establishing the MEL. The MEL can be expressed by either a dollar amount or by percentage
and will be reviewed and updated annually. Document the MEL in the equipment maintenance
records.
d. Request for permission to exceed the MEL cited in publications above should be made to
authorities cited in the publication. Permission approvals should be in writing. Permission to exceed
locally assigned MEL (only for items not covered in publications) must be in writing and signed by
the District Commander or equivalent, for separate operating activities.

CHAPTER 4
COMMODITY - ORIENTED MAINTENANCE POLICIES
4- 1. Maintenance of Watercraft and Amphibians.
a. Purpose. To establish policies which are specific to the maintenance of Corps watercraft.
b. Objective. The objective of watercraft maintenance is to ensure safe, seaworthy, reliable,
and fully capable watercraft.
c. Scope. This section applies to all Corps watercraft and amphibians worldwide.
(1) Watercraft and amphibians are defined in EP 750-1-1, para. 7-1a., and DA PAM 738-750.
(2) To accomplish the objectives of watercraft maintenance, tasks are distinctly organized into
wholesale and retail maintenance. Each is responsible for the performance and management of its
materiel maintenance functions. This responsibility is established in regulatory and maintenance
publications.
(3) Wholesale maintenance is that maintenance which is beyond the capability of the operating
activity and is commonly referred to as depot level maintenance. Specifically, wholesale
maintenance is defined as that level of maintenance requiring the necessary personnel, skills,
facilities and equipment to perform industrial type maintenance functions.
(4) Retail maintenance is that maintenance which is within the capability of and is the
responsibility of the operating activity. The responsibility to perform retail maintenance operations
within a given level is assigned based on mission, degree of complexity, availability of personnel,
skills and materiel resources. Actual maintenance tasks to be performed are listed in applicable
maintenance manuals.
d. General Maintenance Policies.
( 1) Emergency repairs. A thorough marine condition survey/technical inspection will
be performed by qualified personnel to ascertain the scope of work necessary to return a watercraft
to a serviceable condition. When emergency repairs dictate that a watercraft be dry docked to
accomplish the necessary repairs, it will be considered wholesale maintenance. When this condition
exists, suitable repairs may be accomplished to correct the emergency. However, personal property
so repaired must be removed from operation as soon as possible and properly repaired before being
returned to an operational condition.
4-1
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
(2) Watercraft awaiting disposition instructions will be maintained in administrative storage.
(3) When engaged in operations (underway/deployed) and maintenance problems occur where
normal corrective action can not be completed, a vessel master is authorized to perform any level
of maintenance required to maintain the watercraft in, a seaworthy, safe and operable condition. This
decision shall be made while considering the availability of resources, the skill of the crew, and the
impact the repairs will or will not have on the basic seaworthiness and operability of the watercraft.
(4) This policy also applies to electronic equipment installed on-board watercraft.
e. On-Condition Cycle Maintenance (OCCM). All watercraft will undergo OCCM in
accordance with the intervals established in Table 4-1. The intervals in Table 4-1 are the maximum
time intervals. If more than 3 months deviation is anticipated, a request for waiver with justification
will be sent to the district commander. OCCM consists of a series of inspections and maintenance
actions which are designed to assure that a watercraft’s structure (internal and external), piping, main
and auxiliary engines, electrical installations, life-saving appliances, fire detecting and extinguishing
equipment, pollution prevention equipment, and other equipment/systems are maintained in a
suitable, seaworthy and safe condition.
f. Inspections. Marine condition surveys incident to the performance of OCCM will be
accomplished in accordance with the following paragraph.
(1) One hundred eighty days prior to the scheduled OCCM, a marine condition survey will be
performed. This survey will provide the basis for written specifications by which OCCM will be
accomplished. This will be a dock side inspection. When possible, the services of qualified divers
will be utilized to ascertain the condition of the watercraft’s hull and appendages below the deep load
waterline.
(2) At the time of dry-docking, if required, a dry-dock inspection will be performed to identify
additional repair/maintenance requirements not observable at the time of the 180-day inspection
(dockside).
(3) Periodic surveys required by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the American
Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for retention of loadline certification will be accomplished in accordance
with 46 CFR subchapter E and TB 55-1900-201-45/1. When such inspections are required, the
service of ABS will be employed.
(4) In addition to the marine condition survey, an interim survey after 50% of the OCCM/drydocking time has elapsed will be conducted. Whenever possible, this survey will also include an
underwater hull survey as defined by TB 55-1900-201-45/1.
4-2
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
g. Maintenance. The scope of work to be accomplished during OCCM will vary dependent
on watercraft conditions, resource limitations, class of vessel and other factors. As a minimum, the
following maintenance and repair actions will be accomplished during OCCM if the inspection so
indicates:
(1) Bottom cleaning and painting up to the deep load waterline.
(2) All repairs below the deep load waterline as identified during the dry-dock
inspection/underwater hull survey.
(3) Overhaul/replacement/renewal of all major components identified for overhaul at the depot
level. The requirements will be determined through diagnostic testing, hours of operation, and
inspection of internal parts.
(4) All other maintenance and/or repairs identified by the marine/ship surveyor required to
effect a permanent change in the watercraft’s condition so as to assure the following:
(a) Capability of operating in an unrestricted manner for the purpose intended.
(b) Capability of being maintained and operated in accordance with all applicable regulations,
rules, laws, and policies.
(c) The sustainment of the inherent reliability and maintainability designed and manufactured
into the equipment between repair cycles (OCCM).
(d) The sustainment of acceptable rates of readiness between OCCM cycles.
(e) Application of all outstanding Modification Work Orders (MWO), minor alterations,
modernization and/or special inspections will, to the maximum extent feasible, be accomplished
concurrently with OCCM.
h. Marine Condition Surveys. Marine condition surveys are technical inspections and written
evaluations performed by qualified marine surveyors in accordance with TB 55-1900-201-45/1 and
other applicable publications.
(1) Marine condition surveys on watercraft shall only be performed by experienced and
qualified technical experts. This requires the surveyor to be thoroughly familiar and capable of
interpreting written standards, Federal laws. rules and regulations affecting watercraft inspections,
common watercraft construction, and maintenance and repair procedures. The marine surveyor must
4-3
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
also be capable of preparing written repair specifications and estimating repair costs (man-hour and
personal property costs).
(2) When qualified marine surveyors are not available, assistance may be requested through
command channels to HQUSACE, ATTN: CECW-OD.
i. Maintenance Reporting. Forms and records on watercraft and amphibians will be completed
according to DA PAM 738-750, TB 43-0002-26, TB 55-1900-205-24 and TB 55-1900-201-45/l.
j. On-Condition Cycle Maintenance. Table 4-1 is a list of the proposed Corps dry dock
intervals, compared to the required Coast Guard intervals. Based on periodic marine surveys, dry
docking intervals may be extended for freshwater vessels, and the extended intervals must be fully
documented and justified in accordance with paragraph 7-3c of EP 750-1-1.
k. In some cases, the Corps would be required to dry-dock more often than the proposed
intervals if the Coast Guard standards are adapted. However, in other cases, particularly with double
hull vessels, the dry-docking intervals can be greatly extended. The Corps has been designing and
building newer double hull tank barges, so using the Coast Guard intervals would be an opportunity
to take advantage of the increased savings available to these types of vessels. Other advantages for
adopting the Coast Guard dry-docking schedules are the general acceptance of the American Bureau
of Shipping to the Coast Guard intervals, and the decreased liability of adopting the industry
schedule of maintenance in the event of a mishap or oil spill.
4-2. Maintenance of Aircraft and Aviation Electronics AVIONICS). The object of USACE
aviation maintenance is to ensure safe and reliable aviation systems. Aviation systems maintenance
will be accomplished in accordance with Army regulations and applicable Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) requirements. Contracted maintenance agreements will be reviewed by the
aviation manager.

CHAPTER 5
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
5-1. Maintenance Management Indicators. To effectively measure the performance of maintenance
management, each USACE activity will use maintenance indicators. Three of the most common and
effective indicators are the tracking of equipment usage, equipment maintenance costs, and
equipment operational rates. The importance of accurate data documentation cannot be over
stressed. Commanders and managers rely on this type data to measure and improve the effectiveness
of the materiel maintenance program in the Corps. Taken collectively, these indicators provide
materiel maintenance managers the required tools to perform effective, efficient, and comprehensive
life cycle materiel maintenance management activities. The goal of our efforts is to field, operate,
maintain, and sustain the range and depth of equipment adequate to perform our missions at the
lowest life cycle cost of ownership.
5-2. Equipment Usage Standards. This section explains how personal property usage standards can
be used as part of an overall personal property management program. Appendix B, Table B-2, in
EP 750-1-1, is the list that shows personal property requiring usage reporting in USACE and Table
B-3 contains usage standards for selected categories of equipment. Equipment categories that are
exempt from usage reporting in USACE, are shown in Table B-4 of the cited EP.
a. General. Please note that objective and minimum usage standards are listed in the EP.
Minimum standards were established as ones that should be attainable for general purpose
assignment and normal use of equipment. When individual equipment items within a category are
not attaining the minimum usage, the whole category should be reviewed by the using activity, with
a view toward equalizing use through rotation, asset pooling, or other management actions. Assets
and/or authorizations should be reduced when indicated by the review.
b. Basis for Computation. Army usage standards are generally expressed in terms of hours,
days, or times used. Chapter 9 of EP 750-1-1, shows how usage standards are computed.
c. General Use Equipment. ER 700-1-1, Chapter 3, Section IV, Equipment Usage
Management, provides general USACE policy that governs personal property usage management
and explains why documenting historical usage data is important. EP 750-1-1, also gives details on
how this data should be collected and reported.
5-3. Maintenance Costs (Parts & Labor)
a. This section explains how life cycle costing techniques can serve to indicate how effective
an equipment management program is. A goal of a good program would be to provide historical
5-1
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
records of maintenance costs, parts and labor, associated with personal property usage. Access to
this information can help us improve future equipment acquisitions and management decisions.
b. Life cycle costing attempts to identify projected personal property related expenditures,
using the acquisition to retirement approach. Its focus considers maintenance costs from the time of
initial equipment acquisition, until equipment is retired and disposed of. Command emphasis on the
importance of keeping accurate cost documentation is necessary for success in using life cycle cost
projections and historical cost data to efficiently manage our materiel maintenance program.
c. All personal property reaches a time in its service life when it becomes more of a liability
than an asset. When the cost to maintain personal property reaches a pre-established level or when
the property has mission crippling inoperative patterns, it is probably time to replace it.
d. USACE activities should document maintenance costs using the methods described in EP
750-1-1 for scheduled and corrective maintenance. In each case the costs for labor, parts, and those
associated with maintenance contracts will be recorded.
5-4. Equipment Operational Rates. Operational rates can be a helpful indicator for maintenance
management. The rates are mathematical expressions of equipment up time versus down time.
Chapter 9, EP 750-1-1, lists equipment categories suggested for operational rates tracking and gives
the formula for computing rates.

USACE Equipment Exempt From Usage Reporting
The following equipment categories are usually exempt from meeting usage tracking standards:
a. Information Management Area Equipment. This is covered by the AR 25-series.
b. Government furnished equipment (GFE). Contracts will include the requirement for the
collection and recording of utilitization data.
c. Defense Industrial Plant Equipment Center (DIPEC) controlled equipment. Although
DIPEC controlled, equipment is exempt from usage collection and reporting, walk-through
procedures will be used to evaluate the need for it.
d. Equipment used in direct support of a research, development, test, and evaluation mission
(RDTE). This equipment is exempt from usage collection and reporting. Walk-through
Procedures will be used to evaluate the need for it.
e. One of a kind equipment. The requirement for utilization data collection for one of a kind
equipment is not required. “One of a kind,” is defined as that “one and only specific type of
equipment located at a project site. This does mean equipment that is a site specific.
f. Common Tables of Allowance (CTA) equipment. Equipment authorized by CTA does not
require collecting of utilization data. This means that low dollar valued items (e.g., typewriters,
calculators, desks, fans, etc.) are exempt from collection of utilization data
g. Installed equipment (see glossary). Usage data collection for installed equipment such as
generators, and compressors, which are part of a real property facility, is not required.
h. Emergency equipment. Equipment required to be on hand for emergencies, such as
generators, compressors, wreckers, ambulances, fire trucks, etc., does not require utilization data
collection. Retention for such equipment will be based on documented justification.

CHAPTER 6
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
6- 1. Maintenance Operations. Maintenance operations are those actions that ensure personal
property is inspected regularly, dispatched properly, operated correctly, serviced as required, and
ensures that faults are diagnosed and repaired as required.
6-2. Maintenance Plan. A maintenance plan will be developed by all divisions, districts,
laboratories and field operating activities. This plan will enable commanders to achieve
maximum efficiency through maintenance training and maintenance operations. In developing
the maintenance plan, factors for considerations are listed in EP 750-1-1, chapter 2.
6-3. Scheduled Maintenance Services. Scheduled maintenance services are the cornerstones of
the preventive maintenance (PM) program. They must be scheduled and performed within the
allowed time frame. These services permit the maintenance supervisors to assure the correct
accomplishment of all required maintenance. Therefore, all supervisors must place emphasis on
the planning and executing of scheduled services. (The single most important factor for success
of the maintenance program is the active participation of the functional area supervisor.) Other
factors to consider while planning maintenance services are:
a. Commanders, chiefs of logistics, maintenance officers and all supervisors are responsible
for the effectiveness of the maintenance program.
b. Tool sets, special tools and test equipment must be on hand, cared for, controlled,
accounted for and used properly.
c. Publications are vital for the execution of the maintenance program. They must be
accessible to all personnel who perform supervise maintenance actions.
d. Time management is essential to a good maintenance program. Supervisors must ensure
that maintenance time is scheduled for all required maintenance actions.
6-4. Evaluations. Evaluations of the overall maintenance program are vital to the success of the
maintenance mission and will be accomplished at each activity. Only detailed evaluations can
identify the changes needed to maximize maintenance efficiency. As a minimum, written annual
evaluations will be conducted and maintained by the logistics office.
6-1
ER 750-1-1
30 Jan 97
6-5. Reviews. Maintenance management reviews should be established by division/district
logistics chiefs to evaluate, assist, and correct the maintenance programs within their activity.
Such reviews identify both good and bad maintenance practices.
6-6. Inspections. Maintenance inspections provide. essential information to supervisors on their
maintenance program. Inspections provide immediate feedback to supervisors at every level, and
identify action at the lowest possible level. Inspections can range from informal spot-checks by
the first line supervisor to formal inspections conducted by maintenance inspection teams. No
matter what type of inspection is conducted, supervisors must monitor the results and take
corrective action as necessary.
6-7. Repair Parts Management. Repair parts are essential to the success of any maintenance
operation. Commanders will establish accurate accountability for all parts and show an audit trail
from the time of requisition until they are used. Excess parts will be identified and turned in as
soon as possible. GSA, DOD and other Federal agencies will be utilized to the maximum extent
possible in the acquisition of parts and supplies. Only after these sources have been
exhausted/determined unfeasible will local procurement be used. Requesting, receiving,
stocking, issuing and the security of repair parts will be accomplished in accordance with AR
710- 2, DA PAM 710-2-1, and ER 700-1-1.
6-8. Safety. All personnel are responsible for safe operations. Anyone seeing an unsafe act will
take the required actions to stop it. All work will be performed in accordance with the USACE
Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1.
6-9. Environmental Compliance. Public law 94-580 (Solid Waste Disposal Act), as amended,
mandates compliance with environmental procedures and explains why they are essential. Every
effort will be made to maximize compliance in USACE.
6-10. Security. Tools, repair parts, lubricants and maintenance facilities will be secured
appropriately. Supervisors will ensure strict security procedures are followed in accordance with
the AR 190 series publications.
