What percentage represents FMC in DA maintenance readiness goals?

• A. 75%
• B. 50%
• C. 25%
• D. 10%

Answer: (A)

FMC stands for Fully Mission Capable—the portion of the total equipment that can perform its assigned mission without any deficiency hindering its primary use. In DA maintenance readiness goals, this percentage serves as the benchmark for overall readiness. The standard target is 75%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the inventory should be fully ready to execute missions. This level balances maintaining high readiness with the realities of ongoing maintenance and supply, allowing the remaining assets to have non-critical issues that don’t prevent mission capability. Lower percentages like 50%, 25%, or 10% would reflect a much less capable force and are not used as the typical DA maintenance readiness goal.
