I'm not making a negative comment here just asking if my assumptions are correct.
In the military my understanding is there are SOPs for all repairs. Most electronics / mechanical components are segmented. Meaning if a device fails the SOP says test here, here and here, then replace this board or that component.
Is that a correct assumption on my part?
Reason I ask is way back I was in an electronics class in college and a veteran with electronics training ( he serviced all kinds of electronics in his service) was in the class and he struggled to understand things to the point of almost failing.
So basically he could repair a radar unit but not understand how electronic circuits worked.
My question is not a slam on our military in any way. In fact it's a great way to insure that a device can be repaired by almost anyone should the people tasked with it are unable to perform their duties.
