INTRODUCTION (.5 Min )

1. GAIN ATTENTION.  Ask the Young Marines about how they are liking Junior Leadership 
      School. Do a motivation check and if needed have the Young Marines stretch.

2. OVERVIEW. Good morning. My name is _________. The title of this lesson is, “Maintaining
      Unit Equipment”. The purpose of this period of instruction is to arm you with the basic 
      knowledge and skills to effectively train yourselves to a level of performance effectiveness
      so that you may complete the PO3- Field Skills and EO2- Maintain Unit Equipment and be 
      able to properly keep your unit’s equipment clean and in good repair. (Turn to Slide 1)

3. Learning Objectives (Turn to Slide 2)
 
         a. Terminal Learning Objective. Given an assignment, the Young Marine will be able to 
              demonstrate the knowledge of how to properly maintain unit equipment 

         b. Enabling Learning Objectives 

                  1)When given an assignment, the Young Marine will be able to show how to 
                      properly clean a stove, lantern and metal tools. 
                  2)When given an assignment, the Young Marine will know what COLD means and 
                      how it will keep them warm. 
                  3)When given an assignment, the Young Marine will be able to discuss who 
                      should make repairs on equipment and be able to tell if the equipment is in 
                      good working condition.

4. Method/Media. This lesson is presented using the lecture, guided discussion and 
      multimedia methods. I will be using a PowerPoint presentation.

      a written test. You must score 80% percent or better to pass.

6. Safety. We are all safety officers. If you observe an unsafe situation during this period of 
      instruction, inform one of your Instructors or me and we will address the problem. In the 
      event that the building must be evacuated, we will all move in an orderly manner to 
      designated area where the Platoon Sergeants and Platoon Commanders will get a head 
      count.

TRANSITION: Are there any questions regarding the learning objectives, how you will be 
      evaluated, or safety considerations? 
      Let’s begin by discussing the cleaning of a stove

BODY (4 MIN)

LECTURE (4 MIN)

1. Cleaning of a Stove. (Turn to slide 3) 
         a. Scrape off the grate. A stove’s grate should be scraped off with a sharp object such 
             as a stick, spatula or brush. 
         b. Wash with soap and water. The metal parts can be washed with hot water and 
             soap. It is easier to clean while the stove is still hot, but then you must wear mittens 
             that way you don’t burn your hands. The stove being hot will help kill germs and 
             sterlize the stove.(Turn to slide 4 at end of b.) 
         c. Aluminum Foil. Aluminum foil can be used if holes are punched in it to prevent having 
             to clean every part of the stove. At the end of the cooking, the aluminum foil can just
             be thrown away. (Turn to slide 5 and go over the notes) (Demonstrate how to clean 
             a stove if proper materials are available)

2. Cleaning of a Lantern. (Turn to slide 6) 
         a. Clean with a cloth. A lantern can just be wiped down with a damp cloth after it is 
              cooled down. Soap and water again can be used to clean the metal parts of it. (Turn
              to slide 7 and go over the notes)

3. Metal Tools (Turn to slide 8) 
         a. Wash with soap and hot water. Metal tools can be wiped down with hot water and 
              soap. They should then be rinsed off and dried very good that way they don’t rust. 
              Metal Tools may also need oiled depending on what type of tool they are.

4. After Cleaning Equipment. (Turn to Slide 9) 
         a. All tools need to be rinsed and dried that way they are protected against rust. Rust 
              will make tools unsanitary and unusable.

5. Repairs. (Turn to slide 10) 
         a. Professional work. Except for small repairs that a Young Marine completely knows 
              how to do, repairs should be done by professionals.

6. COLD (Turn to slide 11) 
         a. C-Clean clothes will breathe and insulate better 
         b. O- Avoid overheating by ventilating 
         c. L- Dress in loose layers 
         d. D- Stay Dry 
         e. COLD will help you keep warm and stay around a comfortable temperature.

7. Individual Equipment. All Young Marine’s equipment is used and needed for maintaining 
         unit equipment.

TRANSITION: (Turn to Slide 12) Are there any questions regarding what we have covered?

1. Question: What should you wash metal tools with? 

    Answer: Soap and hot water.

2. Question: Who should do repairs? 

    Answer: Except for small repairs that the Young Marine completely knows how to do it, 
                   repairs should be done by professionals.

SUMMARY (2 MIN) In order to successfully complete PO3- Field Skills and EO2- Maintaining
