EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS IN THE MAC, SECTION II

APPENDIX C MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION CHART (MAC) SECTION I. INTRODUCTION C-1. THE ARMY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MAC. a. This introduction (Section I) provides general explanation of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at various maintenance levels under the standard Army Maintenance System concept. b. The Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) in Section II designates overall authority and responsibility for the performance of maintenance functions on the Identified end item or component. The application of the maintenance functions to the end item or component will be consistent with the capacities and capabilities of the designated maintenance levels, which are shown on the MAC in column (4) as: (1) Unit - Includes two subcolumns, C (operator/crew) and O (unit) maintenance. (2) Direct Support - includes an F subcolumn. (3) General Support - includes an H subcolumn. (4) Depot - Includes a D subcolumn. c. Section III lists the tools and test equipment (both special tools and common tools sets) required for each maintenance function as referenced from Section II. d. Section IV contains supplemental Instructions and explanatory notes for a particular maintenance function. C-2. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS. Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows' (see 3.2 5.2g for ammunition MAC exception). a. Inspect To determine the serviceability of an Item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g., by sight, sound, or feel). b. Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards. c. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an Item In proper operating condition; i e., to clean (includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical fluids, or gases. d. Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper position, or by setting the operating characteristics to specified parameters. e. Align. to adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance. f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on Instruments or test, measuring, and diagnostic equipment used In precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two Instruments, one of which Is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy In the accuracy of the instrument being compared. g. Remove/Install. To remove and Install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance functions Install may be the act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module (component or assembly) In a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system. h. Replace. To remove an unserviceable Item and install a serviceable counterpart In Its place "Replace" s authorized by the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the 3d position code of the SMR code.

ARMY TM 9-6115-604-12 NAVY NAVFAC P-8-633-12 I. Repair. The application of maintenance services¹ including fault location/troubleshooting², removal/installation, and disassembly/assembly³ procedures, and maintenance actions⁴ to identify troubles 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/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications (i.e., DMWR) Overhaul is normally the highest 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 equipment to a like new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of materiel maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age measurements (e g., hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipment/components. C-3. EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS IN THE MAC, SECTION II . a. Column 1. Group Number. Column 1 lists functional group code numbers, the purpose of which is to identify maintenance significant components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher assembly. b. Column 2. Component Assembly. Column 2 contains the item names of components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance 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 functions, see paragraph C-2.) d. Column 4. Maintenance Level. Column 4 specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each function listed in Column 3, by indicating work time required (expressed as man-hours 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 listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance levels, appropriate work-time figures will be shown for each level. The work-time figure represents the average time required to restore an Item (assembly, subassembly, component, module, end item, or system) to a serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes preparation time (including any necessary disassembly/assembly time), the troubleshooting/fault location time, and quality assurance time in addition to the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized In the maintenance allocation chart The symbol designations for the various maintenance levels are as follows: 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 e. Column 5. Tools and Equipment. Column 5 specifies, by code, those common tools sets (not individual tools), common TMDE, and special tools, special TMDE, and special support equipment required to perform the designated function. f. Column 6. Remarks. When applicable, this column contains a letter code, In alphabetical order, which is keyed to the remarks contained In Section IV. 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 malfunctioning; the act of isolating a fault within a system or unit under test (UUT). 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.
