  they have readily available parts and required tools to perform those maintenance tasks. Aviation maneuver
  companies are supported by the AMC assigned to the aviation maneuver battalions. This organization
  provides a robust capability that performs both scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance.
  4-8. The AMC is organized with a production control (PC) section that develops a maintenance execution
  plan to support mission requirements as determined by the unit commander. It is fully supported with a
  quality control (QC) section, a group of highly qualified and experienced noncommissioned officers that
  provide technical oversight and safety on all associated maintenance actions to ensure strict adherence to
  maintenance task performance and inspection.
  4-9. In LSCO, field maintenance is expected to occur in support and close areas. The AMC is normally
  task organized into field maintenance teams to provide mobility and flexibility in the close area while
  repairing or recovering aircraft. These teams may operate independently, with FARP personnel, or with
  other units to improve security posture depending on threat. These teams do not have organic air defense,
  anti-armor, or indirect fire capabilities. See ATP 3-04.7 for more information on field maintenance teams.
  4-10. The ASC is organic to the ASB; it provides aviation field-level and phase maintenance for the CAB.
  The ASC can also provide maintenance augmentation to aviation battalions when support is needed due to
  high operational tempo or other situations where augmentation is required such as split-based operations.
  The ASC structure with sets, kits, outfits and tools enables enhanced capabilities and capacity to conduct
  back shop component repairs unavailable across the rest of the CAB.
  SUSTAINMENT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE
  4-11. Sustainment-level maintenance consists of tasks on airframes or components that cannot be
  performed by the CAB due to the lack of facilities, tools, technical skills or authorization. Typically,
  support is provided by the TASMG, original equipment manufacturers, contract maintenance personnel, or
  depot organizations.
  4-12. Operationally, the TASMG is a fixed-base dedicated theater aviation sustainment/depot (minus)
  capability that provides 24-hour maintenance support for the deployed aviation maneuver commander. It is
  able to perform both field and sustainment-level maintenance for manned and unmanned aviation systems,
  battle damage repair, and repair and return of components and end items to support the National
  Maintenance Program.
  4-13. Depot support is facilitated by the Corpus Christi Army Depot and the Letterkenny Army Depot.
  Corpus Christi Army Depot is the Army’s organic facility for the repair and overhaul of RW aircraft,
  engines, and components. The Letterkenny Army Depot provides aviation specific system support to
  include the AH-64 target acquisition designation sight/pilot night vision sensor and aviation ground power
  unit reset and overhaul.
  BATTLE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND REPAIR
  4-14. Battle damage assessment and repair rapidly restores the minimum essential capabilities necessary
  to support a specific combat mission or to enable equipment self-recovery, to include downed aircraft
  recovery team (DART) missions. Aircraft operators/crew chiefs, aircraft maintenance personnel teams,
  maintenance support teams, contact maintenance teams, and recovery teams may perform battle damage
  assessment and repair as authorized by the commander. For more information on aircraft battle damage
  assessment, repair, and recovery, see ATP 3-04.13.
  DOWNED AIRCRAFT RECOVERY TEAM
  4-15. Aircraft recovery is a pre-planned mission for all units with assigned or OPCON of Army aircraft
  and requires extensive coordination with supported and supporting units. The intent is to recover aircraft
  with minimal risk to Soldiers and equipment involved in the operation. Aircraft recoveries generally require
  a task organized security force. The AMC or ASC performing DARTs do not have organic air defense,
  anti-armor, or indirect fire capabilities.
