Book Description
Results and comments of a survey of civilian and uniformed Army maintenance specialists on U.S. Army land vehicle maintenance problems. Responses to the survey indicate deep and serious problems in the Army maintenance system that hamper efficient operations and degrade combat readiness. There are shortages of qualified manpower, poor training and motivation of personnel, inadequate periodic/preventive maintenance of vehicles, lack of use of diagnostic equipment, misuse and abuse of vehicles, unreliable reporting of vehicle status information, and poor management and supervision of maintenance operations. These and other problems are discussed. Major findings of the survey are the dominance of manpower-related problems and the lack of reliable basic data on many facets of the maintenance system.

Book Description
An assessment of the potential use of on-vehicle microcomputer monitoring of Army ground vehicles. The unique attributes of the microcomputer make possible powerful new techniques for measuring the remaining life of key vehicle components. These techniques include the real-time cumulative measurement of component stress/damage (an innovation called geriometry) and an improvement in trend monitoring through the use of real-time algorithms. Such measures may make it possible to schedule anticipatory maintenance just before the probability of an in-service failure rises to an unacceptable level. This is turn could result in a reduction in the total amount of maintenance and its costs, an improved capability to allocate fixed maintenance resources, and a quantitative measure of vehicle readiness, all of which lead to an improvement in combat and tactical vehicle unit readiness.
