NATURE AND PRINCIPLES OF MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DURING COMBAT OPERATIONS

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2013, Vol 168, Issue 2

Abstract

NATO armies still are looking for new solutions which let them improve the possibilities of the maintenance system during combat operations. The analysis of contemporary armed conflicts shows that maintenance activities are very often limited to basic actions like recovery, evacuation, expedient repair and cannibalization or destruction of broken weapon systems. The paper analyses the nature and the basic principles related to recovery, evacuation and expedient repair operations. It highlights the crucial role of the battle damage assessment process as the main factor which should determine further maintenance actions. The possibilities of performing expedient (temporary) repairs are analysed in the context of main weapon systems units or parts.
