TM 9-2320-356-BD
1-13.
DIRECT SUPPORT/GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE TEAM
a.
The MST shall assist the MT as needed, using direct support maintenance
tools and equipment.
MST assessment and repair procedures are the same as those of
the MT except at a higher maintenance level.
If possible, the MT will tell the MST
what tools and spare parts are needed to perform the repairs.
While waiting for
the MST to arrive, the crew, under the supervision of the MT, will open up the
vehicle and make it ready for the MST to perform the assessment and repair.
b.
Damaged vehicles removed to designated repair sites shall be selected for
MST repair as directed by the company commander.
1-14.
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 time required to restore the vehicle.
The time available at the selected
repair site must equal or exceed the estimated time required to accomplish all
tasks associated with the BDAR.
b.
Determination of where BDAR will take place should be made by the commander.
1-15.
RECORDING BATTLEFIELD DAMAGE REPAIRS
a.
Record shall be made of repairs to components of a tactical vehicle by BDAR
or other expedient techniques in order to enable mechanics to determine authorized
permanent repair.
All expedient repairs and operational limitations must be
recorded on DA Form 2404 (Operator’s Daily).
b.
DA PAM 738-750, the Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS), describes
preparation and disposition of DA Form 2404 and DA Form 2407. When BDAR is noted
on DA Form 2407, a copy shall be mailed to:
Combat Data Information Center,
AFFDL/FES/CDIC, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433.
The information on these forms
will provide data for designing vehicles to be less susceptible to combat damage
and easier to repair when damaged.
