b. Operation of TAMMS. DA Pam 750–8 describes the forms and records required in the performance of fieldmaintenance. A unit’s TAMMS functions are performed by one or more school-trained Automated Logistical Special-ists, Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 92A. The 92A must be under the direct supervision of the noncommis-sioned officer in charge (NCOIC) of the maintenance administration section or the motor sergeant.

Maintenance managersField maintenance managers are those officers and noncommissioned officers that plan, organize, direct, coordinate,and control field level maintenance assets and processes. Brigade combat team (BCT) maneuver units will receive fieldmaintenance support from FSCs OPCON’d to their respective units, with the remainder of the brigade receivingmaintenance on an area support basis from the Brigade Support Battalion (BSB) Field Maintenance Company (FMC).Army/Corps/Division commands and Modular Support Brigade elements will either be assigned FSCs or receive fieldmaintenance support on an area basis from Support Maintenance Companies (SMC). Regardless of how a unitaccomplishes field maintenance, the most influential maintenance manager in a unit is its commander. Most manage-ment tasks are accomplished by the maintenance control officer/motor sergeant or maintenance team chief in the FSCor organic maintenance element. At battalion/squadron level the maintenance officer/technician and motor sergeant arethe key maintenance managers. Refer to figure 4–1 for sample field maintenance management structure.

The Army benefits from technologies that change rapidly,have a greater economy of scale than an Army-unique system would have, and have the potential for interoperabilitywith systems external to the Department of the Army. Another advantage is that COTS systems can come withwarranties and service contracts, which is of concern to the field maintenance shop office.
