BUS SERVICE To reduce the amount of CESE on the road, can  deliver  crews  to  jobsites  by  an  established service. Vehicle  breakdowns,  scheduled  PMs, you bus and new construction tasking are times when a bus service is the best answer for transporting crews to jobsites. Jobsites having some type of communication should be  considered  for  bus  service.  Remember,  remote jobsites require a safety vehicle. When bus service is used, construction materials can be delivered to the jobsite  by  the  tractor-trailer  crew.  Crew  vehicles  must be monitored to ensure proper use. They are not to be just  a  convenience  for  the  crew  leader. The transportation supervisor manages the liberty bus   service. Assign   mature,   reliable   equipment operators for this duty. During the predeployment visit, request the on-site deployed unit’s liberty bus policy  and  schedule. This   policy   and   schedule provides  you  and  the  operations  supervisor information  to  use  to  generate  a  liberty  bus  policy  for your unit. The equipment officcr, company chief, and maintenance  supervisor  evaluate  and  preapprove  the policy. The  commanding  officer  has  the  final approval and must sign the policy into effect. The bus service is for the troops; ensure you establish a bus route that accommodates their needs. MAINTENANCE FIELD CREW OPERATIONS Dispatchers  are  the  hub  of  communications  for trouble calls for CESE in the field. The success of a deployment  from  an  equipment  maintenance  and project  completion  standpoint  can  be  traced  to  the availability of equipment due to the field maintenance crew’s  ability  to  perform  adequate  and  timely  repairs in the field. The field maintenance crew reduces the equipment shop work load by repairing CESE in the field. The dispatchers maintain a log to track the flow of  field  repairs  and  inform  the  heavy  shop  supervisor of  any  trouble  calls. The  equipment  heavy  shop supervisor  controls  the  field  maintenance  crew operations.  The  maintenance  held  crew  must  daily inform the dispatchers of the status of repairs made to CESE.  The  extent  of  damage  on  the  CESE  might require  shop  repairs.  The  dispatcher  should  schedule the hauling of the CESE to the shop and schedule possible  CESE  replacement.  The  dispatcher  must inform you of all actions and update the field crew repair log. EQUIPMENT  MAINTENANCE PROGRAM At all times, the goal of the Equipment Maintenance Program is to keep all CESE in a safe and serviceable condition  at  a  reasonable  cost  and  to  detect  minor deficiencies before they develop into costly repairs. MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR The maintenance supervisor is normally the senior mechanic responsible for the maintenance program for all  assigned  CESE. The  maintenance  supervisor supervises the inspectors, shop super- visors, preventive maintenance and cost control clerks, technical librarian, and  the  part’s  expeditor.  Additionally,  this  position  is responsible  for  enforcing  all  established  maintenance policies,  approving  all  repair  actions  and  requisitions, controlling all CESE transfers and disposal, supervising the  Preventive  Maintenance  Program,  and  controlling all mechanics, shop tools, and kits. The maintenance supervisor coordinates closely with  the  operations  supervisor  on  all  equipment requirements,   equipment   abuse,   and   reoccurring equipment  breakdowns. Inspector The  equipment  inspector  is  a  knowledgeable  and proficient  senior  Construction  Mechanic,  preferably  a CM1, capable of readily determining the nature of the necessary  repairs  on  any  piece  of  equipment.  The inspector   exercises   independent   judgment   as   to whether  the  equipment  requires  immediate  attention or  can  be  delayed  until  the  scheduled  PM.  When repairs  are  required,  the  inspector  must  have  the ability to describe each repair action clearly on the Equipment  Repair  Order  (ERO),  NAVFAC  11200/41. After performing a final inspection and determining that repairs have been satisfactorily completed and the equipment is ready for full service, the equipment inspector  should  take  the  ERO  and  the  equipment  to dispatch  for  customer  approval  and  the  signing  of Block 77 of the ERO. The ERO is then returned to cost control for final closing. Preventive Maintenance (PM)/Cost Control Clerk(s) Working  directly  for  the  maintenance  supervisor, the  PM/cost  control  clerk  divides  all  CESE  into preventive maintenance (PM) groups, prepares the PM  schedule,  and  maintains  the  PM  Record  Card, NAVFAC  11240/6  (fig.  1-14),  with  the  preventive 1-18
