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 services1 including fault location/troubleshooting2,
removal/installation, and disassembly/assembly3s procedures, and maintenance actions4 to identify
troubles, and restore serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or

i
Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely

includes the act of returning to zero those age measurements (hours/miles, etc.) considered in
classifying Army equipment/components.
