ORDNANCE MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE SCHOOL
Helping The Army Stay At The Ready
Ordnance Soldiers ensure that weapons systems, vehicles, and tactical support equipment are in perfect working condition.
During AIT, you will learn how to perform mechanical and electrical maintenance on tanks, small arms weapons, Humvees, trucks, mobile electric power generation systems, air conditioners, and various other systems. Depending on your selected Army job, you may also learn machinist and welding skills.
Ordnance Soldiers have the opportunity to obtain certification with national technical accrediting agencies, such as the American Welding Society (AWS), the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS), and the Automotive Society of Excellence (ASE). Many of these skills also translate into college credit towards a degree.
