    Study Notes

    Introduction to Army Equipment Support Publications (AESP)

    • Before 1978, equipment support was fragmented across multiple publications, but since 1978, AESP has provided a unified system for supporting new equipment.
    • AESP provides information in a combination of categories and levels, allowing users to access specific information for planning, support, and maintenance.

    Technical Documents on Line (TDOL)

    • TDOL is a search tool for finding AESP numbers and ensuring publications are up-to-date.
    • TDOL is used in conjunction with the Tech Library to reduce publication holdings.
    • Downloads or printouts from TDOL must be dated, registered, stamped, and signed as valid for 28 days only.

    EMER (Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Regulations)

    • EMER A028 provides detailed procedures for quality assessment principles and practices in REME.
    • Many chapters were rescinded in 2009 and 2014 and incorporated into JSP 930.

    IETP (Interactive Electronic Technical Publications)

    • IETP is used for military vehicles with integrated digital systems.
    • Examples of platforms with IETPs include MAN SV and SV R 14.

    AESP Structure

    • AESP numbers consist of 12 characters, divided into four elements: Group, Class, Category, and Sub-Level.
    • Examples of AESP numbers include ESP 0100 – P – 003 – 013 and AESP 2320-W-134-201.

    AESP Categories

    • Category 2: Operating and Training Information
    • Category 3: Technical Description

    • Category 5: Maintenance Information
    • Category 6: Maintenance Schedules
    • Category 7: Parts Catalogue

    AESP Importance

    • AESPs are a valuable source of information at all levels.
    • Correct use of AESPs requires the correct AESP number, up-to-date information, and knowledge of how to source information.
    • Failure to comply with AESP standards can result in culpability for actions in the form of an AGAI.
