JLBC Commander’s Leadership
JLBC Cadets Sustaining the Command
JLBC Maintenance Management
Organizational mobility, simulated firepower, and communication rest not only on the technical competence of your JLBC Cadet but also on the serviceability of the equipment. Maintaining equipment is a requirement in combat, training, and garrison. Maintenance and equipment accountability is a Commander’s responsibility.
You should appraise your unit’s maintenance program during your first two weeks of command. The following will assist you:
-Receive a brief from the Maintenance Management Officer (MMO). Expect the following information in brief:
The amount of equipment the unit is required to have.
The amount of equipment on hand.
The amount of equipment deadlined in the command along with a percentage. Your prime concern should be with deadlined reportable equipment (category code “M”).
By item, how long each deadlined reportable item has been deadlined.
How often the MMO receives and reviews the Maintenance Production Report
(MPR) and other maintenance-related reports.
-Review the Ground Equipment Maintenance Program (GMP).
-Maintain your Maintenance Management Program. The following will help you maintain your program:
Please talk with your equipment operators and maintenance personnel to ensure that they understand their roles in the unit maintenance program.
Ensure that maintenance personnel is attending the necessary training, including but not limited to Supervisor Training, Operator Training, and Mechanics Training.
-Ensure that your unit can conduct maintenance in the field.
-Have an influential awards program for good maintenance.
-Challenge the status of equipment via a weekly Equipment Status Report. -Set the maintenance standards.
-Establish a culture of readiness within the command.

performed during all field training and combat types.
