What is the purpose of the Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS)?

The purpose of Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) is fundamentally to ensure that equipment is operationally ready and maintained. This process involves regular inspections and servicing of military equipment to identify and address potential issues before they result in failures or accidents. By performing PMCS, Soldiers can maintain the reliability and effectiveness of their equipment, which is crucial for mission success.

Regular PMCS contributes significantly to operational readiness, as it helps to identify necessary repairs and maintenance needs early, thereby minimizing downtime for equipment. This proactive approach not only enhances performance but also prolongs the lifespan of the equipment and ensures the safety of personnel using it.
