TM  9-2320-356-BD e. A   safety   check   should   be   made   for   any   obvious   hazards. NOTE Correct   any   safety   faults/hazards   before proceeding. (1)   Have   any   combustibles   such   as   fuel, hydraulic   fluid,   or   oil   accumulated? (2)   Does   wiring   appear   to   be   safe? Could   arcing   occur   to   stored   ammunition or    leaking    combustibles? (3)   Is   the   fire   extinguisher   operational? f . A   functional/operational   test   should   be   performed   next   on   those   systems which   appear   undamaged. Refer   to   vehicle   PMCS   table   before   proceeding.   Self-test shall   be   performed   on   those   systems   with   a   built-in   self-test   feature. Only   those systems   found   to   be   damaged   or   inoperative   shall   be   identified. g. The   vehicle   commander   shall   report   to   the   platoon   leader   the   results   of   the crew’s   damage   assessment,    naming   the   major   known   causes   of   the   vehicle’s immobility. If   repair   by   crew   is   possible, the   vehicle   commander   shall   report   a total   estimated   repair   time   and   what   functions   may   be   restored. h. The   platoon   leader   will   respond   with   directives   and,   if   required,   will   call an   MT   to   the   location   of   the   damaged   vehicle   for   assistance. If   possible, sufficient   information   will   be   provided   to   enable   the   MT   to   bring   needed   repair parts   or   special   tools. i . The   crew   shall   proceed   to   make   field   expedient   repairs   to   restore communications   and/or   vehicle   mobility   as   directed   by   platoon   leader. 1-12. ORGANIZATIONAL  MAINTENANCE  AND  MAINTENANCE  TEAMS  (MT) a. The   organizational   maintenance   team   (MT)   and   assessor   operate   out   of   the company   or   battalion   trains. The   MT   assessor   performs   his   assessment   and   the maintenance   team   completes   repairs   at   the   damage   site   if   possible. If   the   site   is within   direct   fire   or   under   enemy   observation,    movement   to   a   more   secure   site   away from   fire   may   be   necessary. This   is   still   considered   “on-site”. b. If   the   vehicle   has   been   left   unattended   in   the   forward   battle   area,   the immediate   area   of   the   vehicle   should   be   checked   for   mines,   and   the   vehicle   should be   checked   for   booby   traps   before   starting   the   battle   damage   assessment.   The   MT should   also   make   the   safety   checks   listed   in   paragraph   l-he. c. The   MT   assessment   will   be   more   thorough   than   the   crew’s,   using organizational   maintenance   support   tools   and   equipment   as   needed.   MT   assessment includes: (1)    Reviewing    the    crew’s    out-of-action    report,    if    available. (2)   Interviewing   commander   and   crew,   if   available. (3)   Visually   inspecting   damaged   parts   and   systems. 1-7
