Study Notes
PCI and PCC Definitions
- PCI: Pre-Combat Inspection, conducted before a mission to ensure all required equipment is in working condition.
- PCC: Pre-Combat Check, performed as soldiers step off for a mission to verify essential equipment is present.
Differences Between PCIs and PCCs
- PCIs focus on thorough checks of all equipment and functionality before the mission starts.
- PCCs are brief checks for essential equipment just before the mission, assuming all items are functional from previous inspections.
Importance of Inspections
- Inspections prevent soldiers from becoming careless regarding minor barrack duties.
- They maintain sharp appearance, efficient performance, and excellent maintenance, which reflect a disciplined organization.
Types of Inspections
- In-Ranks Inspections: Examines personnel and equipment within unit formations to assess appearance and equipment condition.
- In-Quarter Inspections: Focuses on personal appearance and equipment within barracks, including maintenance and sanitary conditions.
In-Ranks Inspections

- Identifies whether a soldier is unaware of or indifferent to standards, guiding the necessary follow-up actions.
On the Spot Correction Guidelines
- Focus on specific deficiencies and ensure corrective actions enhance soldier performance.
- Training should be constructive, not punitive, and should not be documented on official records if corrected satisfactorily.
Positive Reinforcement
- Recognition of soldiers' achievements improves morale; leaders should praise good performance.
- Use on-the-spot corrections to address performance issues, with additional training as needed.
On the Spot Correction Steps
- Address performance directly without personal attacks.
- Provide a single correction at a time and conclude discussions once corrections are made to avoid redundancy.
On-the-Spot Inspections
- Informal checks of soldiers, equipment, or quarters to assess service readiness.
- Examples include random checks of fire extinguisher tags or cleanliness in specific areas. Important inspection steps include preparation, conducting the inspection, and following up.
