MAINTENANCE FORMS AND RECORDS.
Every mission begins and ends with paperwork. There is not 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 service, repairs, and modifications made
on your trailer. They are reports to Organizational Maintenance and to your commander. They are a check list for you
when you want to know what is wrong with the trailer after its last use, and whether those faults have been fixed. For the
information you need on forms and records, refer to DA Pam 738750.
2-6.
PMCS PROCEDURES.
