Maintenance is a command responsibility!
Commanders, supervisors and leaders are
responsible for continually evaluating their unit
or activity maintenance operations to determine
which areas of operation require improvement, to
ensure their units are kept at the highest
possible state of readiness.

  the result of Fair Wear and Tear (FWT). If
  damage is determined to be thru other than FWT,
  an Estimated Cost of Damage (ECOD) will be
  provided to the owning unit. The owning unit
  then makes a determination of whether or not
  negligence or willful misconduct is involved, and
  takes appropriate action IAW AR 735-5 before DS
  maintenance can proceed.
