What defines serviceable property in a military context?

Serviceable property in a military context is defined as property that is in good working order and available for use. This means that the property meets all operational and functional standards required by military regulations and can be readily utilized for its intended purpose without any need for repairs or improvements.

This standard is essential for maintaining operational readiness, as serviceable property directly supports missions and activities. Keeping an inventory of serviceable items ensures that troops have access to the equipment, vehicles, and supplies necessary for effective performance in the field. The other options represent conditions that do not meet the criteria for serviceability; obsolete property, items temporarily out of service, and property under maintenance all indicate that the items are not currently capable of fulfilling their intended roles until addressed. Thus, only property that is functioning well and ready for immediate deployment can be classified as serviceable.
