2-5. Assessment Process. The assessment procedures are shown in each chapter.

a. Procedure Sequence. All assessment procedures follow the sequence:

(1) visually inspect (repair, if necessary),

(2)

functionally test (repair, if necessary), and

(3) assess the performance.

The field fixes will enable the crew to continue operations in some cases, but will usually be most useful

for scheduling and accomplishing fix-forward repairs and assessing combat capabilities for reporting

to the Commanders.

b. Assessment Types. There are three kinds of assessments performed on damaged equipment.

(1)

The first assessment is extent and kind of damage, and how it affects equipment operation

and capabilities.

(2)

The second is whether the damage needs to be repaired.

(3)

The third is assessment of where and how to repair the damage.
