Army maintenance operations ensure unit readiness by maintaining weapon systems and equipment in a fully mission capable status for immediate and continuous employment in support of operations. The Army conducts two levels of maintenance (field-level and sustainment-level) to generate combat power. Maintenance operations are focused on returning systems to an operational status as near to the point of failure or damage as possible. Fully mission capable means that readily available systems and equipment are safe and have all mission-essential subsystems installed and operating as designated by applicable technical manual and Army regulation. The purpose of this ATP is to provide a clear and concise understanding of maintenance operations at all echelons to provide commanders the lethality and flexibility to meet operational objectives.
