"The equipment of a Pershing missile battalion must be ready to perform the assigned mission at all times. This equipment is only as effective as the maintenance provided for it. Supervisors from section chief to battery commander are responsible for insuring that their equipment is maintained in the highest possible state of readiness. This inspection guide is published as an aid to immediate supervisors in inspecting their equipment. Information on maintenance problem areas experienced by personnel of deployed units has been consolidated in this guide and published for your convenience. This guide is not a substitute or a replacement item for TM's or other reference materials. If the information in this guide conflicts with the information in the regulatory materials, the latter will be considered valid."--Foreword.
