First and foremost, it is important to understand the purpose of the Army Maintenance
Program. The objective of AMP is to ensure that Army materials are in the best working
conditions for effective performance purposes. Keeping up to date with AMP keeps the
Army ready for missions with a higher probability of successfully completing missions
assigned. In my current unit, I have encountered a deficiency of inoperable
equipment. Every Monday in my unit a motor pool is conducted to ensure LMTVs is
operable and ready for operations but recently they discovered not all LMTVs are in
operation despite the motor pool sessions. The shortcoming was a result of a lack of proper
training for all soldiers tasked to perform the assigned tasks. It was elaborate that Army
Training Manual (TM) was not followed to the letter leading to inoperable LMTVs
something that may lead to mission delays and unproductive and failed missions. It is
thereby very critical to establish an effective unit maintenance culture to ensure
shortcomings will not reoccur again. It is very important to create an environment where
leaders and soldiers have common goals with certainty that everyone’s opinion is taken into
consideration without fear or favor. Creating an effective culture starts with the leader
being a good role model and encouraging the soldiers to follow suit. One study was
conducted about Army equipment (1997), “equipment modification program needs
improvement”, and I believe that creating a unit maintenance culture will facilitate
equipment readiness.ReferencesArmy equipment [microform]: management of weapon
