MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS - CONTINUED.
h. Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. Replace is
authorized by the MAC and is shown as the third position code of the SMR code.
i. Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting, removal/installation,
and disassembly/assembly procedures, and maintenance actions to identify troubles and restore serviceability to an item
by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module (component or assembly),
end item, or system.
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely
serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications (i.e.,
DMWR). Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not normally
return an item to like-new condition.
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a
like-new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of materiel
maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age
measurements (hours/miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.

EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS IN THE MAC, SECTION II.
a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists functional group code numbers, the purpose of which, is to identify
maintenance significant components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher assembly. End item
group number shall be "00".
b. Column 2, Component/Assembly. Column 2 contains the names of components, assemblies, subassemblies,
and modules for which maintenance is authorized.
c. Column 3, Maintenance Function. Column 3 lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in Column
2. (See maintenance functions above for a detailed explanation of these functions.)
d. Column 4, Maintenance Category. Column 4 specifies, by the listing of a worktime figure in the appropriate
subcolumn(s), the category of maintenance authorized to perform the function listed in column 3. This figure represents
the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated category of maintenance. If the number or
complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance categories, appropriate
worktime figures will be shown for each category. The number of task-hours specified by the worktime figure represents
the average time required to restore an item (assembly, subassembly, component, module, end item, or system) to a
serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes preparation time (including any
necessary disassembly/assembly time), addition to the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the
maintenance functions authorized in the maintenance allocation chart. The symbol designations for the various
maintenance categories are as follows:
C - Operator or Crew
O - Organizational Maintenance
F - Direct Support Maintenance
H - General Support Maintenance
