 THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF INSPECTIONS AND EVALUATIONS BY HELPING YOU FIND AND RESOLVE MAINTENANCE WEAKNESSES.

MAIT--THE MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE AND INSTRUCTION TEAM--CONDUCTS THREE TYPES OF ASSISTANCE VISITS.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

SCHEDULED VISITS ARE ANNUAL VISITS THE TEAM MAKES TO EACH UNIT WHEN RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE.

THE TEAM'S ASSESSMENT OF THE UNIT'S LOGISTICS WEAKNESSES AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS GO TO THE COMMANDER OF THE VISITED UNIT.

IF HIGHER HEADQUARTERS REQUESTS OR DIRECTS A MAIT VISIT OF A UNIT, THE MAIT WILL REPORT BOTH TO THE UNIT COMMANDER AND THE COMMANDER REQUESTING OR DIRECTING THE VISIT.

HOWEVER, IF THE UNIT COMMANDER REQUESTS A VISIT, THE MAIT PROVIDES THE ASSESSMENT REPORT ONLY TO THE UNIT COMMANDER.
