What role is responsible for performing spot-checks in the PMCS workflow?

The Squad Leader plays a crucial role in the PMCS (Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services) workflow by being directly responsible for overseeing the maintenance and readiness of the vehicles and equipment assigned to their unit. Performing spot-checks falls under their purview as they ensure that maintenance practices are executed properly and that any issues are identified early on.

Their position enables them to supervise the duties of mechanics and ensure compliance with maintenance standards while also providing a level of accountability within the team. By conducting these spot-checks, the Squad Leader helps to uphold the operational effectiveness and safety of the unit's equipment, promoting a culture of responsibility among soldiers.

While the other roles have specific responsibilities tied to maintenance and logistics support, it is the Squad Leader who is primarily focused on enforcing the checks and balances necessary to maintain equipment readiness through regular supervision of the PMCS process.
