The goal of field-level maintenance is to restore equipment to a mission-capable status. Field-level maintenance is both preventive and corrective in nature. Field-level maintenance includes: Inspecting Adjusting Diagnosing malfunctions Repairing or replacing parts Modifying equipment Field-level maintenance is normally performed by unit maintenance mechanics. As an operator, you may be assisting unit mechanics in performing basic maintenance actions on your vehicle, such as tire repair or battery maintenance. Operator/Crew PMCS Frequency - Daily Daily PMCS is performed before, during, and after operating the vehicle: Before Operations PMCS includes checking the condition of the vehicle before you drive it. During Operations PMCS involves monitoring vehicle performance while driving it and during intermittent stops. After Operations PMCS includes additional services performed after you have completed your day's mission.
The After Operations PMCS helps to ensure the vehicle is ready to go the next time it is needed. Use the Marine Corps' technical manual (operator's manual) that applies to your vehicle. Older operator's manuals, including the manual for the M1123, are identified with the '-10' designator in the document number. Operator's manuals published under the 'new' levels of maintenance are identified by the designator 'OR' in the Marine Corps' manual number. The manuals for the vehicles described in this course are: -TM 2320-10/6B - covers the M1123 and other earlier HMMWV models.TM 11033-OR - covers the M1114, M1151/A1, M1152/A1, and the M1165/A1 Expanded Capacity Vehicles (ECVs).

You will use the operator's manual when performing PMCS on your vehicle. Section 2 of the manual lists the before, during, and after operations PMCS checks you will perform each day.
There are also weekly and monthly checks. The table provides: Item number for the PMCS task Interval between checks Location of the component Procedural steps and applicable warnings, cautions, and notes Criteria for the component to not be fully mission capable Appendix G contains instructions for lubricating your vehicle, including the lubrication requirements and intervals and operation under extreme temperatures. As you complete the daily PMCS checks on your vehicle, record the result in the appropriate columns of the trip ticket.
Complete the Before Operations PMCS and list the results before you start out. During Operations checks are recorded upon trip completion, and After Operations results after you finish those PMCS tasks. Mark only the columns that apply to you. You will be the 1st operator unless the vehicle has been used by another operator earlier in the day.
Mark each item: S - for a satisfactory check X - for a problem or defect that you cannot correct NA - if that item is not applicable to your vehicle.
