M2/M3 BRADLEY PMCS — COMMON QUESTIONS

What TM covers Bradley PMCS?

Bradley PMCS is covered by TM 9-2350-294-10-1, the operator's manual for the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. This TM defines all five PMCS intervals for the Bradley. ArmyADP.com's Bradley PMCS app is built from TM 9-2350-294-10-1.

What makes an item NFMC on a Bradley?

NFMC faults on the Bradley include track damage or missing track shoes, road wheel damage, engine or transmission leaks, brake system failures, and any fault affecting the vehicle's weapons systems, fire control, or armor protection. The Bradley's 25mm chain gun, TOW missile system, and thermal sights also have specific NFMC criteria that deadline the vehicle for combat operations.

How does Bradley PMCS differ from wheeled vehicle PMCS?

Bradley PMCS (TM 9-2350-294-10-1) includes tracked vehicle-specific checks such as track tension and condition, road wheel and return roller inspection, sprocket wear, and final drive oil levels. It also includes checks on the 25mm M242 chain gun, TOW launcher, and thermal imaging systems not found on wheeled vehicle PMCS.

How do I fill out a DA Form 5988 for a Bradley?

Reference TM 9-2350-294-10-1 in the header and record the vehicle's bumper number and variant (M2 IFV or M3 CFV). Annotate each fault with the TM item number, description, and fault symbol (X for NFMC). ArmyADP.com's printable 5988 generator pre-fills Bradley vehicle data for quick annotation and printing at the motorpool.

What is the difference between the M2 and M3 Bradley?

The M2 Bradley is the Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) variant, designed to transport a squad of infantry with firing ports. The M3 Bradley is the Cavalry Fighting Vehicle (CFV) variant, optimized for reconnaissance with more TOW missiles and no infantry squad seats. Both share the same TM 9-2350-294-10-1 for operator PMCS.
