h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable like-type part, subassembly, or module/component/assembly in a

manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment/system.

i. Repair. The application of maintenance services (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, replace) or other

maintenance actions (welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfacing) to restore

serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly,

module/component/assembly, end item, or system.

j. Overhaul.

That maintenance effort (service/action) necessary to restore an item to a completely

serviceable/operational condition as prescribed by maintenance standards (e.g., DMWR) in pertinent 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.

k. 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 (hours, miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.

l. Fault Locate. The act of finding the cause of a malfunction. When applicable to a system the problem is traced

to a piece of equipment. When applicable to a piece of equipment the problem is traced to an assembly or circuit card

assembly (CCA) within the equipment. And when applicable to an assembly or CCA the problem is traced to a

component or sealed module.

m. Disassemble. Removal of modules/components from the equipment for the purpose of performing maintenance

tasks, i.e., inspect, test, service, repair, etc.

n. Program. The act of transferring data from a source such as paper tape into an electrically erasable,

programmable, read-only memory (EPROM or commonly referred to as ROM) CCA.

B-3. Explanation of Format.

a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists reference designators (group numbers), the purpose of which is to

identify components assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher assembly. The reference designators

are applied to all items appearing on the MAC and are similarly applied to the same item in the repair parts and special

tools list (RPSTL).

b. Column 2, Component/Assembly.

Column 2 contains the noun names of components, assemblies,

subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance is authorized.
