Table 1-1. Summary of BDAR Time Guidelines

b. Damaged POL equipment removed to designated repair sites shall be selected for repair by

GS in order of:

(1)

Most essential to the completion of the mission.

(2)

Least amount of repair time.

1-16. Time Limits for Repairing Damage.

a. In combat, the time available for BDAR is limited. One of the factors to be considered in the

selection of a repair site is the amount of time available at the site based on the tactical situation.

Every assessment must include an estimate of total elapsed time for all tasks required to restore

the equipment. The time available at the selected repair site must equal or exceed the estimated

time required to accomplish all tasks associated with the BOAR.

b. Determining where BDAR will take place should be based on the guidelines in Table 1-1. These are

general rules which must be adjusted by the Commander based on his best estimate of how the

most responsive maintenance support can be provided. He must consider the tactical situation,

maintenance backlog, personnel, tools, Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE),

and repair parts available. The guidelines are based on a defensive scenario and can be extended

when applied to the offense.
