  TRAIN TO MAINTAIN
  1-59. As discussed earlier in this chapter, we will likely commence combat at a numerical disadvantage in
  attack/delivery platforms. For that reason, every gun, launcher, fire direction center (FDC), fuel truck, digital
  system, etc. is a precious commodity. Commanders ensure maintenance occurs at the highest of standards
  and with competent leader involvement.
  1-60. The purpose of command emphasis on maintenance is to maintain combat power by keeping every
  gun and launcher in the fight during large-scale combat operations. Units train maintenance tasks
  continuously according to Army standards under a variety of conditions that replicate the challenges of
  combat operations.
  FIGHT TO TRAIN
  1-61. It is a FA commander’s duty to fight through distractions and protect training. It is the higher echelon
  commander’s responsibility to defend their subordinate organization’s approved training from un-forecasted
  requirements and to underwrite associated risk to lower priority missions. Regardless of the quality of
  planning and preparation, there will be challenges to the execution of training. The ethic, fight to train,
  separates great trainers and units from the others.
