MIL-DTL-87929 Technical Manuals, Operation And Maintenance Instructions In Work Package Format \(For Usaf Equipment\)This detail specification covers the requirements for preparation of equipment Operation and Maintenance \(O&M\) Technical Manuals \(TM\) in Work Package \(WP\) and Subordinate Work Package \(SWP\) formats. Manuals, using the WP and SWP concept described within this specification, are intended for use at Intermediate and Depot levels on all equipment and at Organizational level for equipment not using the MIL-PRF-83495 maintenance manual concept. This specification provides for Standard Generalized Markup Language \(SGML\) Document Type Definitions \(DTD\) usage \(see appendices A.1 through L\) required for electronic data delivery. All Appendices are intended for compliance when required.
