2-4. Purpose of PMCS Table. The purpose of the PMCS table is to provide a systematic method of
inspection and servicing the equipment. In this way, small defects can be detected early before they become a
major problem causing the equipment to fail to complete its mission. The PMCS table is arranged with the
individual PMCS procedures listed in sequence under assigned intervals. The most logical time (before, during, or
after operation) to perform each procedure determines the interval to which it is assigned. Make a habit of doing
the checks in the same order each time and anything wrong will be seen quickly. See paragraphs 2-5 and 2-6 for
an explanation of the columns in table 2-1.
2-5. Explanation Of Columns. The following is a list of the PMCS table column headings with a description
of the information found in each column.
a. Item No. This column shows the sequence in which the checks and services are to be performed, and is
used to identify the equipment area on the Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, DA Form 2404.
b. Interval. This column shows a dot (0) when each check is to be done.
c. Item to be Inspected/ Procedu res. This column identifies the general area or specific part where the check
or service is to be done, the checks or services to be done, and explains how to do them.
d. Equipment is Not Ready/Available if. S e e P a r a g r a p h 2 -6
2-6. Equipment is Not Ready/Available If Column. This column lists conditions that make the
equipment unavailable for use because it is unable to perform its mission, or because it would represent a safety
hazard. Do not accept or operate equipment with a condition in the “Equipment is Not Ready/Available If” column.
