repairs, and modifications made on the vehicle. They are reports to Organizational Maintenance and to
your Commander. They are a checklist to know what was wrong with the vehicle after its last use and
whether those faults have been fixed. For the information needed on forms and records, refer to DA
PAM 738-750.

maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 738-750, The Arm Maintenance Management System
(TAMMS) (Maintenance Management Update).
