What term describes an asset when a specific system is not meeting 100% of designed functionality?

• A. Fully Mission Capable (FMC)
• B. Partially Mission Capable (PMC)
• C. Not Mission Capable Maintenance (NMCM)
• D. Not Mission Capable Repair (NMCR)

Answer: (B)

Describing asset readiness in terms of mission capability. When a system isn’t able to perform all of its designed functions, but can still contribute to some tasks, that asset is considered partially mission capable. It acknowledges the deficiency but also that some mission work can be carried out within the remaining capability. Fully Mission Capable means the asset can execute its entire assigned mission without any limitations or restrictions. Not Mission Capable Maintenance indicates the asset isn’t ready because maintenance actions are needed to restore it to service; it’s not able to perform missions until those maintenance tasks are completed. Not Mission Capable Repair means the item cannot be repaired at the current level and requires depot-level repair or replacement before it can be mission capable again.
