If an asset is not fully functional due to partial capability, which status applies?

• A. Not Mission Capable Supply (NMCS)
• B. Not Mission Capable Repair (NMCR)
• C. Partially Mission Capable (PMC)
• D. Fully Mission Capable (FMC)

Answer: (C)

When equipment isn’t able to perform its full range of missions because part of its capability is degraded, it is considered Partially Mission Capable. This status means the asset can still contribute to some tasks, but certain functions or missions are restricted or unavailable until the missing capability is restored. For example, a system that works but with reduced range, speed, or reliability can support some operations but not the full mission set.

In contrast, Not Mission Capable Supply means nothing can be done due to parts shortage, Not Mission Capable Repair means it can’t perform missions because it needs repair, and Fully Mission Capable means it can perform all assigned missions without limitations.
