 We're running maintenance on this 5,000 pound beast and these soldiers are taking ownership of their vehicles. I want people to say that's my hobby. That's a direct reflection of yourself or anybody's gonna look at you and be like you know what's this guy gonna take over his vehicle. With the help from the Sergeant Major of the Army, this is Maintenance Holland. We're here at beautiful Fort Wachuka and today we're gonna check on some maintenance. Maintenance is critical to the success of our Army and the assistance we use to help soldiers on our battlefield fight and win our nation's war. Let's go see what our soldiers are doing in the maintenance bay. Hey, soldier, what you doing there? Oh, Sergeant Major of the Army. Hey, Special Counsel. I'm tracking on my weekly PMCS. That's great. I came down here to see what people are doing on maintenance. Is there anything wrong with it? We're about to find out. Would you like to lend me a hand? Yeah, I'd love to lend you a hand. Let's get started. What do we got to do? We've been using Humvees since the 1980s and they've taken a punishment. That's why maintenance is more important than ever and it all starts with the technical manual. We always got to use the TM because the TM is going to keep us in the right order and allow us to know what the check went and check and how the check was done. I want him to be able to look at the vehicle and go through each intricate part of this vehicle making sure that it's ready to go because the worst thing that could happen is we say, oh, yeah, it's good. Get out there and it's not. Make sure that driveshaft isn't loose at all. As a non-commissioned officer, you should be out there with your soldiers. Don't just tell them, hey, go ahead and get that PMCS done and then you're not there. Be there. Be effective. Okay, so what we're going to do here is make sure the tire tread is good. There's supposed to be wear bars on here, but these tires evidently don't have them. So, and then you're going to want to look for cracks, too. You want to make sure there's no, there's no cracks in here. If there is, you got to put it on the 5988 and then you got to get, you got to order some new tires. Otherwise, in this heat, it'll actually explode and you don't want that to happen. On all-army vehicles, checks are required before, during and after any type of movement. So, they are done weekly, monthly, annually, and depending on the part, even more than that. So, the only way to do this is do it properly, get the proper equipment with the proper protection and get under that vehicle and check for leaks. You can't just get down on one knee. You got to make sure you get underneath that vehicle. Check all the appropriate places to make sure that vehicle is ready to go and mission-ready for every mission, what is called to do so. What are we looking for? Is it properly level or what? We're looking for the proper level and then the color of it. Make sure it's in the crosshatches. If it's not in the crosshatches, then you've got to, you know, top it off. And it's full. And it's full. I just remember when I was a young soldier, I had my name on the side of that vehicle and I took pride in the fact that my vehicle was ready to go at all the time. And if it broke down in the field, I was personally embarrassed. That was my vehicle. It was my responsibility. And we've got to build that sense of pride into every single soldier and every single piece of equipment we have today. We don't know where we're going to fight them are, is what I mean. We don't know. So, what we do know is that when we've got a soldier to prepare it, equipment to prepare it, we'll be ready. Everything is looking good to ready to go. We're here at Fort Wachuka and you just got maintenance hall. Army strong! So, let's start to talk, stop talking. Two soldiers texting with the phone. I'm sure. It's alright. So, you got your cell phone ringing? Two of you are going to be texting back there. We're going to catch her all day. It's going to look natural. Army strong! I thought we were saying Army strong.
