2 Purpose. To promulgate Maintenance and Material Management (3M) Program management requirements within Naval Surface Forces. The execution of the 3M Program is per references (a) through (k), and as clarified by this instruction. The goal is to maintain an effective shipboard maintenance program that will ensure a high state of shipboard material readiness. 2. Cancellation. COMNAVSURFPAC/COMNAVSURFLANTINST 3. Scope. This instruction is applicable to all Commander, Naval Surface Force, Pacific Fleet (COMNAVSURFPAC)/Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic (COMNAVSURFLANT) units or commands. COMNAVSURFPACINST COMNAVSURFLANTINST 17 Jul 13 2 4. Background. The Naval Surface Force Type Commanders (TYCOMs) are responsible for providing properly manned, trained, and maintained ships to the numbered fleet commanders.

3 Effective maintenance is crucial to operational readiness. Shipboard maintenance personnel and their supervisors must be thoroughly familiar with the maintenance and support programs pertaining to their equipment. 5. Execution. Material readiness is sustained through the execution of quality maintenance. Planned Maintenance System (PMS) must be performed correctly and completely by maintenance personnel and then that accomplishment must be validated via spot checks by supervisory personnel. Proper administration of the 3M Program is critical, but nevertheless secondary, to the actual accomplishment of maintenance. The Commanding Officer (CO) is ultimately responsible for the overall readiness of his/her ship. The Chief s Mess is charged with the responsibility of providing the deck plate leadership necessary to get the correct grease into the bearing, to accurately align the Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), and to properly install the gasket in the watertight door.

4 A continuous focus on 3M is required to maintain the highest material readiness. J. P. CORDLE R. I.
