The dispatcher normally maintains a HeavyEquipment Dispatcher’s Log, a class C assignedDispatcher’s Log, and a class B assigned Dispatcher’sLog. The heavy equipment log is used for dispatchingconstruction and weight-handling equipment, the classC log is used for dispatching automotive andmaterial-handling equipment, and the class B assignedlog is used to record dispatched class B assignedvehicles.Vehicles assignments are divided into three dispatchcategories: class A, class B, and class C.The class A dispatch category is the full-timeassignment of a vehicle to an individual that is onlyauthorized by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO).The class B dispatch category in the NCF is the oncea week assignment of a vehicle that requires a DD Form1970. The class B assignment in an NMCB isrecommended by the equipment officer and approvedby the commanding officer.The class C dispatch category covers all equipmentnot under class A or class B. Class C assignments aremade on an “as-needed” basis. However, members andproject crews are normally assigned the same vehicleeach day.The heavy equipment and class C logs are closedout daily, and the class B assigned log, in an NMCB, isclosed out weekly. Closing out a log is done by addingall the ending mileage and hour meter readings andenclosing the reports and records inside the appropriatefolded Dispatcher’s Log. On the outside of the log, thedispatcher records the date, total mileage, and totaloperating hours of all the equipment dispatched.On the first work day of each week, thetransportation supervisor collects the Dispatcher’s Logsfor the Alfa company operations supervisor so they canbe reviewed as required by the COMSECOND/COMTHIRDNCBINST 11200.1 Series.In the NCF, the logs are retained on file by thedispatcher for a period of 90 days. At a public works,the DD Form 1970 is retained for 90 days and theDispatcher’s Logs are retained for 36 months.TROUBLE REPORTS FILE.— The TroubleReports Fide, commonly known as the Hard-Card File,is used to hold the NAVFAC 9-11240/13 (Hard Card)and the NAVFAC 11260/4 (Operator’s Daily PMReport) that have documented repairs above theoperator’s area of responsibility not requiringimmediate attention and are not a safety-related item.6-20To avoid disrupting the PM-to-interim repair ratio,you should store these cards with documented repairs inthe Trouble Reports File until the piece of equipment isscheduled for a preventive maintenance (PM)inspection. The PM-to-interim repair ratio is thenumber of scheduled preventive maintenance actionscompared to unscheduled maintenance actions (interimrepairs). The normal goal is three scheduled PMinspections to each interim repairs. The standardinterval between PM service inspections for NCFequipment is 40 working days; therefore, the TroubleReports File is divided into 40 PM group sections,covering each of these working days.When apiece of equipment is scheduled for PM, thecards in the Trouble Reports File for that USN areforwarded with the piece of equipment.YARD BOSSThe yard boss and the dispatcher work as a team.The yard boss has a key part in the EquipmentManagement Program by enforcing and providingtechnical guidancefor operator pre- andpost-operational checks and maintenance proceduresthat reduce equipment breakdown. Additionally, theyard boss manages the equipment yard and the vehiclesparked in it, establishes and enforces traffic controlthrough the yard, such as stop signs, speed limits, andone-way-traffic flow, and is in charge of yardmaintenance and the establishment of parking lines andareas, such as a ready line and awaiting-entry-into-shopline. The yard boss sees and hears the equipment thatdispatchers cannot see while sitting behind their desks.The yard boss is also responsible for cyclingequipment in the pool that is not regularly used.Equipment must be maintained in a standby status andcycled on a weekly basis at its rated capacity for itsintended use. Cycling exercises and protects equipmentfrom deterioration.Equipment cycling must bedocumented in a cycle log maintained by the yard boss,documenting the date, USN number, duration of cycle,and deficiencies.Tool KitTo provide tools for operator maintenanceprocedures, the yard boss has a tool kit in the BattalionTable of Allowance for the support of the Yard BossProgram. The Kit 80111 provides the minimum toolsand equipment resources necessary to support operatormaintenance. For controltools, the yard boss shouldand accountability of thehave operators sign a log
