4-65. GENERAL
Commanders are responsible for insuring that all materiel issued or assigned to
their command is maintained in a serviceable condition, properly cared for and that
personnel under their command comply with technical instructions. Lack of time,
lack of trained personnel or lack of proper tools may result in a unit being
incapable of performing maintenance for which it is responsible. In such cases,
unit commanders, with approval of major commanders, may place materiel that is
beyond the maintenance capability of the unit, in administrative storage or return
it to supply agencies. When preparing the semitrailer for administrative storage,
the unit commander will be responsible for processing the materiel, including all
tools and equipment, in such a manner as to protect it against corrosion,
deterioration and physical damage during shipment or periods of administrative
storage.
