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 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 quality assurance time in addition to

the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized in the

MAC. The symbol designations for the various maintenance levels are as follows:

Field:

C Operator or Crew maintenance

O Unit maintenance

F Direct Support maintenance

Sustainment:

L Specialized Repair Activity

H General Support maintenance

D Depot maintenance

NOTE

The "L" maintenance level is not included in column (4) of the MAC. Functions to

this level of maintenance are identified by work time figure in the "H" column of

column (4), and an associated reference code is used in the REMARKS column

(6). This code is keyed to the remarks and the SRA complete repair application is

explained there.

Column (5) Tools and Equipment Reference Code. Column (5) specifies, by code, those common tool

sets (not individual tools), common Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), and special

tools, special TMDE and special support equipment required to perform the designated function. Codes

are keyed to the entries in the tools and test equipment table.

Column (6) Remarks Code. When applicable, this column contains a letter code, in alphabetical order,

which is keyed to the remarks table entries.
