BACKGROUND
• Until recently there have been very few changes in
automotive vehicle battery maintenance in the Marine
Corps since 1985 (at least, maybe longer)
•
•
•
•
No new tools (using outdated technology)
Battery charger designed for flooded cell batteries
No formal training for mechanics or operators
No technical manual for battery shop operations
- TM 9-6140-200 14 (USA, depot level, outdated)
• Very little guidance from Program Managers

ON THE JOB TRAINING
(OJT) “ON THE FLY”
Welcome aboard
Marine and
congratulations. You
are now the battery
shop NCO. The
battery shop is over
there.
No questions?
Great, get to work.

FORMAL STUDY
• A 1996 study identified issues related to the
management of tactical vehicle batteries used
throughout the Fleet Marine Force
•
These issues significantly impact unit finances and
readiness
• The study recommended units take certain steps to
improve battery maintenance management
• The study was never released to the Fleet Marine
Force

THE PROBLEM IS REAL

WHY HAVE
WE NOT FAILED ?
• Because the War Fighter will always get what
he needs to Fight and Win (URGENT UNS)
11/6/2015

MEAN WHILE,
BACK IN GARRISION
• No Magic Bullet (URG UNS)
• You need batteries to operate
• Good management practices will save time,
money and increase readiness
• Bad or no management practices will have a
negative impact on time, money and readiness

MARFORRES MISSION
MOBILIZE MARINES IN
SUPPORT OF ACTIVE FORCES
• During OIF-1 USMCR mobilized more of its strength
proportionally than any other RC
Army Nat’l Guard
24%
Army Reserve
33%
Air Nat’l Guard
20%
Air Force Reserve 21%
Navy Reserve
13%
Marine Reserve
48%
Currently 12,888 SMCR Marines mobilized

MARFORRES
CHALLENGES
• Shortage of personnel complicated by:
- Conflicting priorities on drill weekends
- Toys for Tots (October – mid January)
- Funerals, parades, ceremonies
• Geographical separation of units increases
difficulty of Command and Control

STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES
• No formal training
• Marines randomly selected as battery NCO
• No standardized procedures
• “We have seen successful programs at I MEF
and II MEF degrade to almost nothing due to
personnel turn-over” – We do not want to

EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
• Change the ITS (Individual Training
Standards) at the school house
- Long process
- If we add 1 hour of battery training what
hour of other training are we
reducing/dropping
• Multi-prong attack using a combination of
OJT, SOP’s and computer based training
11/6/2015
31
EDUCATION
AND TRAINING
• PM EPS MCSC and PULSETECH
Corporation developed on-site training
syllabus
• Four MARFORRES sites trained
• Numerous AC units trained
• Training hit the target but turnover of
personnel quickly mitigates success

EDUCATION
AND TRAINING

incorporating the

•
Allows battery
capacity monitoring
Push of a button to
alert users to a low
charge condition.
Pulse Distribution Box:
• Protected 12V & 24V leads
• Allows user to determine
what level of amperage
protection each device
connected requires
• Waterproof enclosure
• Waterproof connectors
Pulse Charge Monitor Distribution System
