In field operations, the capability of the engineer's maintenance team in maintenance and supportability plays an essential role in resuming fighting ability of engineer troops in case of emergency. This paper first considers various factors which influence the capability of maintenance and supportability, which may be divided into static factors and dynamic factors, with the static factors as the main research concern of this paper, by using the method of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Secondly, the AHP is discussed in detail, including its definition, principle and steps. An analysis is made on factors which influence the capability of maintenance and supportability, and a set of indices is established. The Matlab software is used to calculate the index weight in different levels, and the test of consistency is carried out. Finally, through the weight multiplication, the influencing factors are sorted out in levels in an order, and the important intensity is shown among all influencing factors in a quantitative form, which provides standards and a foundation for the engineer's maintenance team to enhance its capability of maintenance and supportability. At the same time, it provides a simple method for comparing the ability of maintenance and supportability between different troops.
