ALIGN To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
CALIBRATE To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments of test, measuring,
and diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of which
is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument
being compared.
REMOVE/INSTALL To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance
functions. Install may be the act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module
(component or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system.
PAINT (ammunition only) To prepare and spray color coats of paint so that the ammunition can be identified and
protected. The color indicating primary use is applied, preferably, to entire exterior surface as the background color
of the item. Other markings are to be repainted as original so as to retain proper ammunition identification.
REPLACE To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. "Replace" is
authorized by the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the third position code of the Source,
Maintenance, and Recoverability (SMR) code.
REPAIR The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting, removal/installation,
disassembly/assembly procedures and maintenance actions to identify troubles and restore serviceability to an item
by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module (component or assembly),
end item, or system.
OVERHAUL That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely serviceable/
operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications. Overhaul is
normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not normally return an item to
like new condition.
REBUILD Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a like new
condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of materiel
maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age
measurements (e.g., hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.
EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS IN THE MAC
Column (1) Group Number. Column (1) lists Functional Group Code (FGC) numbers, the purpose of which is to
identify maintenance significant components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the Next Higher
Assembly (NHA).
Column (2) Component/Assembly. Column (2) contains the item names of components, assemblies,
subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance is authorized.
Column (3) Maintenance Function. Column (3) lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in Column (2).
(For a detailed explanation of these functions refer to "Maintenance Functions" outlined above.)
Column (4) Maintenance Level. Column (4) specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each
function listed in Column (3), by indicating work time required (expressed as manhours in whole hours or decimals)
in the appropriate subcolumn. This work time figure represents the active time required to perform that maintenance
function at the indicated level of maintenance. If the number or complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance
function varies at different maintenance levels, appropriate work time figures are to be shown for each level. The
work time figure represents the average time required to restore an item (assembly, subassembly, component,
module, end item, or system) to a serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes
preparation time (including any necessary disassembly/assembly time), troubleshooting/fault location time, and
