AND PRODUCT QUALITY DEFICIENCY REPORTS (PQDR)
If your equipment needs improvement, let us know. Send us an Equipment Improvement
Recommendation (EIR). You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you do not like about your
equipment. Let us know why you do not like the design or performance. The easiest and fastest way to
report problems or suggestions is by submitting your information using an SF 368 (Product Quality
Deficiency Report). You can send your SF 368 via regular mail, use the address specified in the
Distribution Statement on the cover of this manual. We will send you a reply.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion prevention and control of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any
corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements
0001-1
OUM XX-XXXX-XXX-XX 0001
can be made to prevent the problem in future items. Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. An
electrochemical process causes the degradation of metals. It is commonly caused by exposure to
moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage in metals can be
seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking. Plastics,
composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen),
solvation (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically ultraviolet) processes. The most common exposures
are excessive heat or light. Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling,
and/or breaking. SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report should be submitted to the address
specified in DA PAM 750-8, TAMMS Users Manual.
OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES (ODS)
Information regarding Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) was not available for this draft. The content of
this paragraph will be determined at a later date.
DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
Destruction of Army electronics material to prevent enemy use will be in accordance with the
requirements of TM 750-244-2, Procedures for Destruction of Equipment to Prevent Enemy Use
(Electronics Command), 03 December 2007.
PREPARATION FOR SHIPPING OR STORAGE
General
Remove all batteries from equipment before storage or shipment. Ruptured cells will spill corrosive
chemicals into electronic circuits. RDMS IPU equipment will be properly packed in accordance with
procedures listed in the RDMS Maintenance Manual before placing in storage. All PMCS listed in the
RDMS IPU operators manual will be completed prior to storage.
Special Procedures
Note that under extreme climatic conditions, corrosion-preventive compounds, moisture barriers,
and/or desiccant material may be required. Before placing the equipment in administrative storage,
perform operational checks and make necessary repairs. When removing equipment from
administrative storage, perform an operational check to assure operational readiness. Always remove
batteries prior to storage or shipment.
Administrative Storage
Administrative storage is the placement of organic equipment in a limited care and preservation status
for short time periods, with reviews every six (6) months to re-evaluate the requirements.
Equipment placed in storage must be capable of being restored to a working state within 24 hours.
Ensure that only equipment rated OPERATIONALLY READY is placed in storage. For further definition,
refer to AR 750-1.

SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
PMCS INTRODUCTION
Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) for the RDMS IPU are services that need to be
performed on a scheduled basis to assure the continual successful operational status of the RDMS IPU.
PMCS for the Combat Training Centers – Instrumentation System (CTC-IS) is restricted to the periods of
time between the training rotations. The RDMS IPU devices will be in storage before the training
rotations and after the training rotations. Therefore, the only opportunity to perform PMCS is at the
issue and or recovery process.
Each RDMS IPU needs to be inspected completely during the issue and recovery activities.
PMCS, INCLUDING LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION FOR STANDARD TWO-LEVEL MAC
INTRODUCTION
Two-Level Maintenance Concept (Field and Sustainment)
The CTC-IS is designed to complement the move to a two-level maintenance system, which features onsystem work at the field level of maintenance and off-system, “inside-the-box” repair of components
and LRUs at the sustainment level of maintenance.
The advantages of a two-level maintenance system are:

A reduced logistics footprint in the training environment.

Faster returns of equipment to the training scenario.

Decreased equipment evacuation requirements.

Increased productivity of maintainers and increased combat training power.

Possible force structure savings.
Field Level Maintenance

Organizational maintenance—Maintenance that is the responsibility of the using organization on
its assigned equipment. It includes inspecting, servicing, lubricating, and replacing minor
components.

Intermediate maintenance—Maintenance performed at or near the weapon training system. It
normally consists of calibration, repair, or replacement of damaged or unserviceable parts,
components, or assemblies.

For the CTC-IS, Field Level Maintenance will be performed by US Army personnel and/or
contractors.
Sustainment Level Maintenance

Sustainment-level maintenance encompasses the more complex and extensive work, or work that
is sensitive in nature (requiring support equipment or technical skill sets beyond what can be
reasonably sustained in the field level).

Sustainment level maintenance will perform LRU repair (off-site).

For the CTC-IS, Sustainment Level Maintenance will be performed by US Army personnel and/or
contractors.
