9

Week 1: Masks/ICAMWeek 2: Radiac/ICAMWeek 3: Chemical Detection/ICAMWeek 4: ICAM/Shelf Life Items Inspection

2) This schedule will be announced in the weekly company-training schedule. It may be modified with the commander’s permission. The intent is to PMCS every piece of CBRN equipment monthly.

3) Platoon sergeants will return all DA Form 5988s to the CBRN NCO NLT

0900 on Tuesday of that work week.

4) Remember, to attain 10/20 standards, all faults must be fixed or have parts on a valid requisition!

6. UNIT LEVEL PMCS (scheduled services):

A. The CBRN NCO IAW the applicable unit level technical manual for each type of equipment will supervise unit level PMCS. Services will be conducted at the platoon level under the direct supervision of the CBRN NCO.

B. Unit level PMCS (scheduled services) will be entered in the unit’s SAMS-E system (if you are using DD Form 314, explain how/why) for scheduling and tracking purposes. The interval for the service for each type of equipment is determined by referring to the unit level equipment TM. For masks, unit level services are performed semiannually.

C. The CBRN NCO will request a services due report at the beginning of each month from the unit’s SAMS-E clerk in order to track the service due dates for assigned equipment. The CBRN NCO will then produce a schedule for mask services to provide to the 1SG. The 1SG will review the schedule with Platoon Sergeants to identify and resolve any conflicts with other scheduled events. The 1SG will return the schedule, with all necessary changes, to the CBRN NCO. Platoon Sergeants will ensure that one soldier is available to assist with each crew served weapon service on the date scheduled.

D. CBRN NCOs will perform the scheduled service on the date it is due or within a 10% variance of that date as authorized by DA PAM 750-8. (Example- for semiannual services performed every 180 days, the 10% variance allows the services to be performed up to 18 days before or 18 days after the scheduled due date.) The CBRN NCO will record the date the service was actually performed and the results of the scheduled service on a DA Form 5988-E provided by the SAMS-E Clerk for each piece of equipment. The date of completion and any faults found will then be entered into the SAMS-E system in order to provide an updated SAMS-E services due report at the beginning of the following month and to ensure that faults identified and parts ordered will show up on the next DA Form 5988-E printed for each piece of equipment.

10

E. A new DA Form 5988-E will be used for each semiannual service to allow the CBRN NCO to review faults currently entered in the SAMS-E system and repair parts currently on order. The CBRN NCO will maintain a copy of the DA Form 5988-E showing the date and results of the most recent unit level service for each assigned piece of equipment.

F. The CBRN NCO will take corrective actions on any faults found during scheduled services. Corrective actions must be initiated within 72 hours of the finding the fault. Corrective actions may include repair of the fault, requisitioning of repair parts, or evacuation to Direct Support (DS) level maintenance.

G. The CBRN NCO will annotate corrective actions taken on the DA Form 5988-E and then request a new DA Form 5988-E from the unit’s SAMS-E Clerk. Uncorrected faults should be entered into the SAMS-E system and should show up on the new DA Form 5988-E. If repair parts are required, the CBRN NCO will follow the procedures for repair parts management in this SOP. If the equipment requires DS level maintenance, the CBRN NCO will request the unit’s SAMS-E Clerk to prepare a DA Form 5990-E maintenance request and will submit it to DS maintenance IAW the DS unit’s external SOP. For equipment turned in to the 296th BSB, use the manual forms (DA Form 2404 and 2407) per their external SOP.

H. Quality control procedures:

1) The CBRN NCO is responsible for ensuring the thoroughness of semiannual mask services. He/she will inspect all masks before completing services.

2) The company maintenance officer (XO) will spot check the thoroughness of

all services. This task may be delegated to a senior NCO or platoon leader.

7. SUPPLY ACCOUNTABILITY:

A. The unit CBRN NCO will sign for all equipment stored in the CBRN room within 30 days of assuming duties as CBRN NCO. A copy of this hand receipt, signed by both the CBRN NCO and the commander will be maintained in the CBRN room, as well as all applicable change documents.

B. When CBRN equipment is signed out of the CBRN room to their assigned platoon/operator, the entire system will be issued. Preprinted DA Form 2062s will be utilized to account for all items issued. Preprinted DA Form 2062s will be maintained in the CBRN room for each type of equipment that is issued as a system. This will allow rapid but accurate issue of these systems. Items to be included on the DA Form 2062s may include COEI items, BII items, AAL items, and expendable/durable supplies. Lists of these items are found in equipment operator manuals and unit level manuals. All equipment will be issued with a DA Form 5988-E. The CBRN NCO will verify after PMCS has been performed before accepting any equipment.

11

C. Masks will be hand receipted to the user on DA Form 2062 IAW FL Reg 725-1. They will be updated semiannually, generally in conjunction with mask services. The individual soldier will demonstrate proper storage procedures upon receipt of the mask.

D. The CBRN NCO will ensure that all authorized COEI and BII for assigned equipment are on hand and serviceable or on a valid supply request. NSNs for COEI and BII are listed in equipment operator manuals.

E. Unit equipment will only be signed out to members of the unit. Any requests for equipment from outside the unit will be reported to the Supply Sergeant and the Commander for approval. If approved by the commander, equipment issued to other units will be signed out on DA Form 3161s. The CBRN NCO and the unit Supply Sergeant will maintain copies of any such temporary hand receipts.

F. Whenever the CBRN room hand receipt holder will be absent from the unit for more than 30 days, a change of custody is required. The initial hand receipt holder and the new hand receipt holder will conduct a joint inventory of all assigned equipment and the new hand receipt holder (generally the enlisted alternate) will sign for the equipment prior to the departure of the initial hand receipt holder.
