DE STYLE GUIDE PREFACE

PREFACE

This STYLE GUIDE establishes uniform rules and specifications for creating paper-based technical manuals for the Deployment Equipment (DE) Logistics Group within the ILSC. This Style Guide delineates, in plain language, explicit guidelines to be followed in categories ranging from writing style to the development of procedural text. Specifically, this Style Guide will:

1. Effectively communicate Government requirements for the technical manuals that can be distributed before work starts.

2. Communicate firm guidance and provide examples where the MIL-STD may be vague. It will create consistency in guidance, resolve conflict and remove personal interpretation.

3. When more than one option is presented in the MIL-STD, identify the DE Logistics Group preference. This will promote consistency between all DE Logistics Group pub-lications.

4. Include samples of the preferred way to present information within a technical man-ual.

5. Address the TM Defects Listing and how to interpret each defect.

This Style Guide has been developed cooperatively by DE Logistics Group and user community and has the senior leadership buy-in from both organizations.

ARMY TECHNICAL MANUAL NUMBERS

1.1 ARMY TECHNICAL MANUAL NUMBERS INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 EXPLANATION Following the Technical Manual (TM) designation, TM numbers have 10 or 11 digits separated by hyphens:

• TM X-XXXX-XXX-XX, e.g.,

- TM 5-3805-290-10

- TM 9-2330-331-13

• First one (or two) digits = branch of the Army, e.g.,

- 5 = engineer (e.g., construction machine, trailer)

- 9 = ordnance (e.g., combat vehicle)

- 10 = quartermaster (e.g., tank rack module)

• Second four digits = FSC (type of equipment or vehicle), e.g.,

- 3805 = earth moving and excavating equipment

- 2330 = trailers

• Third three digits = specific equipment or vehicle designation, e.g.,

- 290 = 924G backhoe loader

- 331 = M872 semitrailer

• Last two digits = level(s) of maintenance:

- 10 = Operator

- 13 = Operator/Field Maintenance

- 14 = Operator/Field Maintenance/Sustainment Maintenance

- 23 = Field Maintenance

- 24 = Field Maintenance/Sustainment Maintenance

- 40 = Sustainment Maintenance

• There can be a “P” or “&P” after the last two digits:

- P = RPSTL only:

* TM 9-1234-567-13P is Operator/Field Maintenance RPSTL

- &P = RPSTL included in TM:

* TM 9-1234-567-13&P is Operator/Field Maintenance Manual w/RPSTL

CHAPTER 2

TECHNICAL MANUAL CONTENT REQUIREMENTS MATRIX

2.1 MATRIX DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION

2.1.1 REQUIREMENTS MATRIX DESCRIPTION The Technical Manual Content Requirements Matrix is contained in Appendix A of MIL-STD-40051-2A (Tables A-II through A-XIX). There are multiple versions of the matrix that apply to different types of technical manuals. Each matrix defines the content and organization of its applicable technical manual. The government will indicate the types of TMs needed by filling in the blank after “TM Requirements Matrix for” at the top of each matrix.

The requirements matrix will be completed by the government and included in the initial solicitation. This matrix will ultimately become part of the contract.

2.1.2 REQUIREMENTS MATRIX COLUMN HEADERS

2.1.2.1 TM Content The first column of the matrix lists the content of the technical manual.

The verbiage used in this list of content shall be used verbatim and shall appear in the same order within the technical manual. Some entries under this column may contain the CHAPTER X definition that means that at least one of the defined chapters must be present in the manual.

2.1.2.2 TM Number Column(s) The next set of columns contain the TM type number that is to be applied to the manual. This TM type number will be the last two to four characters of the unique TM number assigned (example: -10, -13, -13&P). Under this header(s) the blocks define the TM Content column as “R” for REQUIRED, “P” for PROHIBITED, or “AR” for AS REQUIRED.

2.1.2.3 MIL-STD-40051-2A Reference This column provides a reference to the paragraph or appendix in the standard that defines the content requirements named in the TM Content column.

2.1.2.4 Element Name These are the names of text elements or graphic elements (XML tags) that are used to develop the TMs. Refer to MIL-HDBK-2361 for information on Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and corresponding style sheets.

2.2 MATRIX USE

2.2.1 COMPLETED MATRIX The completed Technical Manual Content Requirements Matrix becomes contractually binding when included in a contract, statement of work, or any other contractual instrument. The contractor will use the completed matrix to develop TM outlines and refine the content of the manual. The requirements matrix will be completed by the government and included in the initial solicitation. This matrix will ultimately become part of the contract.

2.2.2 TAILORING Certain elements of the TM Requirements Matrix are optional and need to be assessed by the acquiring activity to determine which elements must be included in the TM.

See paragraph 2.2.4.2 below.

2.2.3 PUBLICATION TITLES All technical manual titles start with the words “TECHNICAL MANUAL” and continue with the additional parts of the title as shown in Table A-I of MIL-STD- 40051-2A. Depot Maintenance Work Requirements (DMWR) and National Maintenance Work Requirements (NMWR) are exceptions to this rule and their complete titles shall be as shown in Table A-I of the standard. If RPSTL information contains depot-level parts or depot special tools, the title will include this information (example: Field and Sustainment Manual with Repair Parts and Special Tools List including Depot Repair Parts and Special Tools).

Figure 1. Sample of Publication Type and Title.

2.2.4 COMPLETING THE MATRIX

2.2.4.1 Type of TMs Required Once the type of TM(s) has been determined, the associated Requirements Matrix will be tailored.

2.2.4.2 Filling Open Blocks The blocks within the tables that already contain a definition cannot be changed. Empty blocks and shaded blocks are considered open blocks. For each type of TM selected, the acquiring activity will indicate in the open blocks the “TM” content by entering an “R” for “REQUIRED” content or a “P” for content that is “PROHIBITED”. All blocks for the selected TM types in TABLE A-II through TABLE A-XIV must be completed with an “R” or a “P” for each TM acquisition.

ENGINE STARTING AND MACHINE WARM-UP

WARNING

• CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GASES) CAN KILL!

• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poison, which, when breathed, deprives the body of oxygen and causes suffocation. Exposure to air containing carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, and coma. Permanent brain damage or death can result from severe exposure.

• Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can become dangerously concentrated under conditions of inadequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed to ensure safety of personnel when the engine of the D6K Dozer is operated.

• DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas.

• DO NOT idle engine without adequate ventilation.

• BE ALERT for exhaust poisoning symptoms. They are:

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Sleepiness

• Loss of muscular control

• If you see another person with exhaust poisoning symptoms:

• Remove person from area.

• Expose to fresh air.

TRANSMISSION AND STEERING CONTROL 0005

WARNING

• To prevent injury, ensure that no personnel are working on or near machine.

• To prevent injury, keep the machine under control at all times.

• Reduce ground speed when you maneuver in tight quarters or when you are going over a hill.

• Select an appropriate ground speed before you start downhill. When you go downhill, use the same speed that would be used to go uphill. DO NOT allow the engine to overspeed when you go downhill.

• Use brake/deceleration pedal or ground speed control wheel to reduce ground speed.

• To bring machine to a stop, move left joystick to HOLD position or depress brake/ deceleration pedal past detent spring.

• Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel.

The machine has a hydrostatic drive system that transfers power from the engine to the tracks, eliminating the need for a conventional transmission. Hydrostatic drive function (forward or reverse machine directional control) is controlled by left joystick fore/aft movement.

In straight line driving, both tracks rotate at identical speeds. To cause the machine to turn, one track must be slowed or sped up in relation to the other track. Steering function is controlled by left joystick side-to-side movement.
