Preventive Maintenance
The supply officer puts out a PM schedule for
checked-out power tools. Colored tapes identify the
month the PM was performed Maintenance should be
done at night to minimize impact on the construction
effort. CTR makes every effort to replace tools that are
not fit for re-issue. All power tools and extension cords
are safety checked and color coded before issue.
CREW LEADER RESPONSIBILITIES
Crew leaders are held responsible for the tools used
by their crews. The company commander authorizes
each crew leader to draw tools required by the crew. At
the discretion of the commanding officer, one alternate
individual per crew also may be assigned authority to
draw tools. However, the crew leader remains
responsible for the tools issued and their use. The crew
leader must maintain complete tool kits at all times. If
shortages are discovered during an inventory, the crew
leader must turn in the 1250-1s and initiate surveys
when required.
Besides tool and tool kit use, crew leaders need to
keep the following responsibilities in mind:
·
·
·
·
Assignment of tools within the crew
Proper use and care of assigned tools by the crew
Reservation of tools held in custody, but not in
use
Security of assigned tools
RENTAL TOOLS
You must make every effort to use TOA or augment
tools to perform necessary work before renting tools for
the job. Rental tools and equipment can be obtained, for
use in place of deadline equipment, only if repair parts
are not available. For tools and equipment in use on
other projects, replacements can be rented only if the
tools or equipment will not be available to meet a firm
commitment.
PROJECT TOOLS
The tasked battalion must be sure that any special
tools required to complete a project are included on the
BM along with attachments, consumables, and
operating and maintenance manuals.
DISPOSITION OF PROJECT TOOLS
Tools purchased with project funds must be offered
to the customer upon completion of the project. Tools
rejected by the customer are retained by the battalion as
augment only if the tools are needed on upcoming
projects. The battalion must report the tool transfer to
the controlling regiment along with justification for the
transfer.
Augment tools obtained solely for a specific project
are disposed of according to the controlling regiments
instructions. A battalion must justify keeping any
specific project tools. This justification must be based
on future tasking needs.
