PCIs are conducted before the Mission - Superiors are to ensure Soldiers have all required equipment and that it is all in working conditions PCCs are conducted as you step off for your Mission - Superiors simply check to see if Soldiers have all required equipment as they already know equipment should be full functional from the PCI Typically Superiors only check for essential equipment Why do we have Inspections? If allowed to, Soldiers will become careless and lax in the performance of minor barrack duties in their unit. Soldiers become accustomed to conditions in their immediate surroundings and overlook minor deficiencies. Sharp appearance, efficient performance and excellent maintenance are important considerations that affect you directly. They are the earmarks of a good organization and one you should be a proud member of. Types of Inspections In-Ranks In-Quarters In-Ranks Inspections An in-ranks inspection is of personnel and equipment in a unit formation. The leader examines each soldier individually, noticing their general appearance and the condition of their clothing and equipment. When inspecting crew-served weapons and vehicles, the personnel are normally positioned to the rear of the formation with the operators standing by their vehicle or weapon. In-Quarter Inspections Leaders may conduct an in-quarters (barracks) inspection to include personal appearance, individual weapons, field equipment, displays, maintenance and sanitary conditions. Organizations will have inspection programs that help determine the status and mission readiness of the unit and its components. These include Command Inspections, Staff Inspections and Inspector General Inspections. On-the-Spot Corrections One of the most effective administrative corrective measures Use this tool for making the quickest and often most effective corrections to deficiencies in training or standards. Generally there is one of two reasons a soldier requires an on-the-spot correction: - Either the soldier you are correcting does not know what the standard is or does not care what the standard is. - If the soldier was aware of the standard but chose not to adhere to it, this may indicate a larger problem that his chain of command should address. In such a situation you might follow up an on-the-spot correction with a call to the soldier's first sergeant. On the Spot Correction Guidelines The training, instruction, or correction given to a soldier to correct deficiencies must be directly related to the deficiency. Orient the corrective action to improving the soldier's performance in their problem area. You may take corrective measures after normal duty hours. Such measures assume the nature of the training or instruction, not punishment. Corrective training should continue only until the training deficiency is overcome. All levels of command should take care to ensure that training and instruction are not used in an oppressive manner to evade the procedural safeguards in imposing nonjudical punishment. Do not make notes in soldiers' official records of deficiencies satisfactorily corrected by means of training and instruction.
