(6) DEFECT CORRECTION Correction of defects uncovered as a result of JACE is driven by two criteria
defect severity and corrective action maintenance level. The guidelines for this policy are provided below.
(a)
Minor All Minor defects identified during the JACE inspection, correctable at the
Organizational/intermediate (0/I) level, may be corrected at the convenience of the Unit Commander, or a designated
representative, hereinafter referred to as Unit Commander. By definition, a minor repair should be correctable at the unit
level.
(b) Major Major defects identified during the JACE inspection, falling within similar guidelines, also may
be correctable at the 0/I level at the convenience of the Unit Commander. However, according to the nature of the
severity of the defect, every effort should be made to correct the defect at the earliest possible opportunity. Major
defects that are identified as correctable at the depot level require that the Unit Commander and the affected service.
