1.2 Limitation. This specification covers only assessment and repair of equipment failures occurring

on the battlefield. This repair is sometimes limited to such means of fixing as bypassing, patching, or

jury-rigging components, or the use of alternative procedures to restore the equipment/system performance

to a minimum operating condition.

1.2.1 BDAR procedures. Fix procedures in BDAR TMs are for use in combat only. Standard

maintenance procedures are used as soon as practicable.

1.2.2 Maintenance level. Unless otherwise specified, repair functions covered in BDAR TMs are

accomplished by the following maintenance levels:

Unit and aviation unit maintenance - performed by operator/crew or by forward organizational

maintenance team (MT).

Intermediate and aviation intermediate maintenance - performed by intermediate direct support and

intermediate general support maintenance support teams (MSTs), when damage exceeds unit repair

capability. When required repair time or tactical conditions dictate, the damaged/failed item will be

recovered or evacuated as appropriate.
