a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being
compared.
g. Remove / Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance

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

(hours/miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.
1Services - Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, and/or replace.

the act of isolating a fault within a system or unit under test (UUT).
3Disassembly/ assembly - The step-by-step breakdown (taking apart) of a spare/functional group coded item to the
level of its least component, that is assigned an SMR code for the level of maintenance under consideration (i. e., identi-
