What does NMCD stand for in the context of depot level maintenance?

• A. Not Mission Capable During Maintenance ( NMCD )
• B. Not Mission Capable Depot ( NMCD )
• C. Not Mission Compatible Depot ( NMCD )
• D. Not Mission Capable Duty ( NMCD )

Answer: (B)

NMCD means Not Mission Capable Depot. It indicates the asset is not ready to perform its mission because it requires depot-level maintenance or overhaul that cannot be done at unit or intermediate (shop) levels. This status flags the need for depot repair to restore capability and helps route the work to the appropriate facility. It differs from NMCS (Not Mission Capable Supply), which is due to a lack of parts, and NMCM (Not Mission Capable Maintenance), which points to maintenance issues at higher-than-unit levels but not the depot-level overhaul.
