Mission

The National Maintenance Training Center (NMTC) can train your ARNG Full-Time Maintenance Technicians & M-Day Traditional Soldiers in the Inspection, Troubleshooting and Repair of the M2/3 ODS Bradley Fighting Vehicle. NMTC has developed an 80 hour Training Package. The core fundamental teaching points of the course are focused towards troubleshooting and diagnostic procedures. Hands on instruction coupled with classroom instruction is the primary method of instruction. This methodology ensures the student leaves the course with the knowledge to adequately identify problems and implement correct repairs. The maintenance training is not MOS producing, but is quality instruction that will provide your ARNG Maintenance Technician & Soldier with valuable skills in maintaining the M2/3 ODS Bradley Fighting Vehicle Turret system.

This course contains instruction on the fundamentals and principles of operations of the M2A2/M3A2 ODS BFV Turret. They will receive instruction on the fundamentals and principles of the 25mm Gun, Turret Drive system and electrical systems. Provide the student with the basic knowledge and skills of the proper troubleshooting procedures. The student will use maintenance publications, TMDE, and special tools to perform maintenance on the various turret systems.

COURSE PREREQUISITE: Must be an ARNG Full Time Maintenance Technician working in a UTES, MATES, CSMS, and FMS Shop or in direct support of BFV Family of Vehicles Maintenance operations or M-Day Soldier MOS Qualified in 91M.
