The -10 or whatever indicates the level of maintenance that is covered in the
manual.
The first number indicates the lowest level covered, and the second number
indicates the highest, with 0 indicating the same level as the original
number.
10 = Operator Maintenance
20 = Organizational Maintenance (local unit motor pool)
30 = Direct Support Maintenance (your local maintenance battalion)
40 = General Support Maintenance
50 = Depot Maintenance
The numbers can stand on there own or in combination. For example:
12 = Operator AND Organizational Maintenance
24 = Organizational AND DS AND GS Maintenance
The "P" on the end indicates a parts manual for the levels of maintenance
shown by the numbers in front.
20P = Parts Manual for Organizational Maintenance Repairs.
A twist you sometimes see is, +P, which means it's a repair manual and a
parts manual.
24+P = Repair manual for Organizational, DS, GS mechanics AND a parts
manual for the same levels of repair.
You often see the +P on small manuals, and often -15+P manuals like on small
arms.
Hope this helps.
