1-2. Maintenance Forms and Records.

Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There isn't much of it, but you have

to keep it up. The forms and records you fill out have several uses. They are a permanent

record of the services, repairs, and modifications made on your carrier. They are reports to

organizational maintenance and to your commander. And they are a checklist for you when

you want to know what is wrong with the carrier after its last use, and whether those faults

have been fixed. For the information you need on forms and records, see TM 38-750.

1-3. Reporting Equipment Improvement Recommendations (ElR's).

ElR's can and must be submitted by anyone who is aware of an unsatisfactory condition

with the equipment design or use. It is not necessary to show a new design or list a better

way to perform a procedure, just simply tell why the design is unfavorable or why a pro-

cedure is difficult. See TM 38-750. Mail SF 368 directly to Commander, U.S.

Army Tank-Automotive Materiel Readiness Command, ATTN: DRSTA-MP, Warren,

Michigan, 48090. A reply will be furnished to you.
