Lesson 2/Learning Event 2
Perpetual Inspection.
The most important of all types of inspection,
however, is the kind that every officer and NCO performs continually as a
normal part of their daily military activities.
Subordinates should be
indoctrinated with the concept that they need to inspect every piece of
equipment they see.
All officers and NCOs are responsible for making on-
the-spot corrective actions whenever and wherever they find deficiencies in
the condition or operation of equipment. They should do this whether or not
they are members of the unit to which the equipment belongs. When a unit
acquires this philosophy of consistent correction as part of the attitude
known as "maintenance consciousness,' every member of the command will soon
recognize their responsibility for maintaining equipment.
