Establishes policies and assigns responsibilities for the maintenance of Army materiel.
It provides and defines requirements for performance and management of the materiel maintenance function.
It relates to two levels of maintenance
Field Maintenance functions
Sustainment Maintenance functions AR

6. Commanders at all levels will
AR 750-1
Emphasize the importance of safety and maintenance and ensure that subordinates are held accountable for the conduct of maintenance operations.
Emphasize the conduct and supervision of PMCS performed at unit level.
Establish, maintain, and conduct training of operators, crews, and maintenance personnel to properly use and maintain equipment.
AR Para 2-14

7. Commanders at all levels will
AR 750-1
Establish, maintain, and conduct training of leaders at all levels to properly supervise maintenance operations and to motivate subordinates to use and maintain equipment properly and safely.
Exercise management controls sufficient to ensure prudent and efficient use of all resources (people, money, materiel, and time) required to perform assigned maintenance missions.
Encourage establishment of an aggressive awards program for operators and maintainers.
AR Para 2-14

8. Commanders at all levels will
AR 750-1
Conduct inspections and staff visits to determine the adequacy of command maintenance operations. Document all faults to ensure that corrective actions are taken and to ensure the accuracy of readiness reports.
Ensure that all PMCS, including field-level services, are scheduled and performed as required by the appropriate TM.
Emphasize the prompt movement of unserviceable repairable to maintenance.
AR Para 2-14

9. Maintenance Policies AR 750-1
a. The purpose of Army maintenance is to preserve the required performance capabilities of Army materiel or to return those assets to their baseline performance capabilities. Maintenance is an enabling process to meeting Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) requirements. ARFORGEN is the process used to generate and regenerate combat power and preserve the capital investment of combat systems and equipment to enable training and mission accomplishment.
AR Para 3-1

10. Maintenance Policies AR 750-1
b. Army maintenance is founded on the principle that the useful service life of Army equipment is achieved when the item is operated within its intended purpose and parameters and is maintained in accordance with its designed or engineered specifications. When an equipment item achieves its useful service life, the Army will use acquisition, recapitalization, or overhaul to sustain the equipment. The Army relies on four core maintenance processes to manage equipment during the course of its useful service life to achieve a high state of readiness. They are performance observation, equipment services, fault repair, and single-standard repair.
AR Para 3-1

11. The Army Maintenance Standard
The Army has one maintenance standard, TM 10 series and TM 20 series. This standard is defined by the TM 10 series and TM 20 series, and/or by the appropriate or applied technical data plans.
Army equipment meets the maintenance standard when the item meets certain conditions basic on AR 750-1, paragraph 3-2.
AR Para 3-1; 3-2

12. The Army Maintenance Standard
The Army maintenance standard applies to all equipment except equipment used as training aids that require frequent disassembly and assembly.
Proper use, care, handling, and conservation of materiel per applicable technical publication are mandatory.
AR Para 3-2

13. Maintenance Records AR 750-1
Accuracy and completeness of records are fundamental to the ability of the Army to manage maintenance programs
Historical records and other reports of maintenance operations will be promptly forwarded as required in accordance with DA Pam 750–8 and DA Pam 738–751
Maintenance information will be maintained and accessible from available database files
AR Para 3-4

14. Maintenance Records AR 750-1
Historical documentation will be maintained at the appropriate levels of maintenance and repair (field and sustainment) in accordance with DA Pam 750–8, DA Pam 738–751, Logistic Integrated System (LIS) end user manuals, and other applicable publications or directives.
For Army aviation assets, all maintenance engineering calls (MECs) written against a specific airframe will be retained in aircraft historical records and the aircraft logbook as long as the deviation is in effect in accordance with the requirements of AR 70–62.
AR Para 3-4

15. The Army Maintenance System
The Army Maintenance System consists of two levels:
Field maintenance, also known as on-system maintenance, repairs and returns equipment to the operator or the user.
Sustainment maintenance, also known as off-system maintenance, primarily repairs and returns equipment and components to the supply system.
AR Para 3-9

16. Field Maintenance
FM 3-0
Field maintenance assets move as forward as possible to repair inoperable and damaged equipment to return it to service as quickly as possible.
Crews perform preventive maintenance checks and services.
Crews, maintenance, and recovery teams conduct battle damage assessment and repair to rapidly return disabled equipment to battlefield service using field expedient components and means when possible.
FM 3-0 Paragraph 2-242

17. Field Maintenance
AR 750-1
Maintenance tasks will be performed in accordance with the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC). Field maintenance organizations are authorized to perform all maintenance tasks coded “C,” “O,” and “F” as outlined in the equipment TM MAC.
Field maintenance organizations will use shop stock and bench stock management procedures outlined in AR
AR Para 3-10

18. Field Maintenance
AR 750-1
Field maintenance is the first function of the Army Maintenance System.
Operator and/or crew maintenance is the most critical operation of the Army Maintenance System and requires continuous emphasis by all commanders and leaders.
Operator and/or crew performing PMCS from the applicable TM 10 series is the cornerstone of the Army Maintenance System. The before, during, and after PMCS concentrate on ensuring equipment is Fully Mission Capable (FMC) and maintained in accordance with the TM 10 series operator’s manuals.
AR Para 3-10

19. Field Maintenance
AR 750-1
Maintenance operations normally assigned to operator and/or crew include the following:
Performance of PMCS.
Inspections by sight and touch of accessible components per the TM 10 series and condition-based maintenance indicators or instrumentation.
Lubrication, cleaning (including corrective actions to repair corrosive damage), preserving (including spot painting), tightening, replacement, and minor adjustments authorized by the MAC.
AR Para 3-10

20. Field Maintenance
AR 750-1
Replacement of unserviceable parts, modules, and assemblies as authorized by the MAC and carried on board the equipment or system.
Identify and annotate corrosion and take corrective actions within the operator’s capability.
Perform preventive actions to prevent corrosion (that is, touch up painting, proper washing, and application of corrosion inhibiting compound).
Performance of field-level maintenance will be documented and records in the ULLS-A(E), and GCSS-Army IAW AR , DA Pam 750-8, and DA Pam
AR Para 3-10

21. Field Maintenance DA Pam 750-3
Is generally characterized by on-(near) system maintenance, often utilizing line replaceable units (LRUs) and component replacement, in the owning unit, using tools and test equipment found in the unit.

AR Para 3-9 c.

24. Sustainment Maintenance
Sustainment maintenance is the second function of the Army Maintenance System.
Sustainment maintenance is characterized by—
Commodity-oriented repair of components and end items in support of the Army.
Job shop and/or bay or production line operations with the capability to task and/or organize to meet special mission requirements.
AR Para 3-11
