direct support through the FSC clothing repair element, <strong>and</strong> support through HNS <strong>and</strong>/or (hired) contract<br />
service. CR support service is gauged upon the following measures --<br />
CR Operating St<strong>and</strong>ards. The individual soldier can make minor <strong>and</strong> emergency clothing repairs<br />
using repair kits available through the supply system. If he cannot make the repair, he should identify the<br />
clothing needing repair at laundry turn-in. After the clothing is cleaned, the fabric repair specialists will<br />
inspect <strong>and</strong> determine serviceability. They will do limited clothing repair based on st<strong>and</strong>ards set in FM 10-<br />
16; TMs 10-8400-252-23 <strong>and</strong> 10-8400-201-23; <strong>and</strong> SB 10-523.<br />
CR Time St<strong>and</strong>ards. Repairs will be made within the 24-hour laundry turn-around time.<br />
NOTE: Soldiers should be careful when turning in grossly damaged clothing <strong>for</strong> laundry. If the item is<br />
determined to be unserviceable <strong>and</strong> unrepairable, it is returned to the user. The user, then, disposes of the<br />
item(s) by initiating a supply action to immediately replace the item(s). Under combat conditions, units can<br />
immediately requisition replacements through the supply system <strong>for</strong> those items not repairable. The FSC,<br />
(direct support or modular) has no capability to issue replacement items.<br />
