The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual

c. One DA Form 2408–4 is used for each weapon in a subsystem. One form is used for each weapon no matter how
many barrels it has.
d. Appendix E indicates what equipment requires DA Form 2408–4.
e. Entries on this form are made by the section chief, crew chief, or someone designated in writing by the unit
commander.
f. This form is kept in a binder with all the unit’s DA Forms 2408–4.
g. This form is attached to the weapon when the armament subsystem is sent to support or depot, turned in or stored
unmounted, and then placed in a protective cover.
h. When the form is filled, needed information is entered on a new form. At the least the information from blocks 1
through 5, block 7, and the last entries in block 10 on the new form is entered. For the 25mm automatic gun, blocks 2
through 9 and the last entries in block 10 of the new form are completed.
i. Completed forms are kept for 90 days or until another form is filled, whichever comes first. After information has
been transcribed to a new DA Form 2408–4, the old form is kept for 90 days and then destroyed.
j. When equipment is overhauled or rebuilt, DA Form 2408–4 is destroyed. A new form is started with zero rounds
fired on it.
k. Entries in blocks 1 and 3 are in pencil. The remainder of the form is completed in ink.
5–5. DA Form 2408–5 (Equipment Modification Record)
a. DA Form 2408–5 (fig 5–6) is used to document changes to Army equipment (configuration) for both hardware
and software. The MMIS is the preferred standard for recording all modifications that are developed, and applied to
Army equipment. The electronic DA Form 2408–5 can be accessed from the Army Electronic Product Support home
page at https://aeps.ria.army.mil/aepspublic.cfm.
b. DA Form 2408–5 form shows published and applied MWOs.
c. DA Form 2408–5 is a permanent record of—
(1) All equipment that lists DA Form 2408–5 in figures E–1 through E–4.
(2) Serial numbered missile components when an MWO applies to the component.
d. A component NSN may be changed by an MWO. If the component is marked with the MWO number, a DA
Form 2408–5 is not needed on the new item. Anew form is started only when an MWO is issued for the item under its
new NSN.
e. DA Form 2408–5 lists all modifications required and reflects those that are completed:
(1) Blocks 1 through 4 show equipment and organizational information.
(2) Blocks 5 and 6 show data on required published modifications. This information is available from MWO,
MMIS, or other sources.
(3) Blocks 7 through 9 show application data, man-hours, and the activity that applied the MWO. This information
is available from DA Form 2407 or MMIS. The organization that applies the MWO usually makes the entries in this
section.
(a) A DA Form 2408–5 is started only when an MWO has been issued on an item on hand that is listed in figures
E–1 through E–4.
(b) MWO entries must be current. The MMIS and DA Form 2408–5 are the only historical records showing the
current configuration of the equipment.
(c) When one MWO replaces another, the two publications are compared as follows:
1. If the replaced MWO has been applied to equipment, the action is written up on DA Form 2408–5. If more work
is needed on the new MWO, the replaced MWO entry is lined out. “Superseded by” is written in column 8 and (new
MWO number) in column 9. New MWO information is entered in columns 8 through 14 on the next open line. The
date the new MWO is required to be completed is entered in pencil in column 10. If no more work is needed for the
MWO, columns 11 through 14 are completed on the new MWO.
2. If the replaced MWO has not been applied, the replaced MWO entry is lined out on DA Form 2408–5.
“Superseded by” is entered in column 8 and (new MWO number) in column 9. The new MWO information is entered
in columns 10 through 14 on the next open line. The date the new MWO is required to be completed is entered in
pencil in column 10.
(d) If an MWO is completed and cancelled, DA Form 2408–5 must show that information as follows:
1. If the MWO has been applied and entries in blocks 10 through 14 have been made, no further action is taken.
2. If the MWO has not been applied and entries are in columns 8 through 9, the publication that cancelled the MWO
and the date it was cancelled are listed in column 10 with the words cancelled above it. In columns 1 and 12 , the
organization and PID of the activity making the entry are cited.
(e) If an MWO has been applied, but not entered on DA Form 2408–5, it is added to the form as follows:
1. Columns 8 and 9 are filled in. The MWO provides the information for those blocks.
2. In column 10, the date the MWO had been applied is entered.
3. In column 13, the estimated man-hours listed in the MWO is entered.
