Issue No. 37

Third Echelon waited ... . No trucks came in for repair .. . no tanks ... no weapons. " It 's too quiet," they said. They didn't know till later that the using units had got so"on-the-ball" with their maintenance and operating procedures that there was no equipment in the area needing 3rd Echelon re pairsso, nothing went to the mainte.nance support unit to get fixed . The guys who use th e equipment and their unit mechanics kept their stuff ready and rolling by preventing trouble before it started. They did it with the right kind of operating, lubing, cleaning, care, adjusting and repairing . It was" on-the -baff"
