(1) As noted in paragraph 1–6a, TAMMS is not a fully automated management information system. Some manually
prepared forms and records are required, even for those Army units that are authorized a STAMIS. Procedures related
to these manual forms and records are outlined in paragraph 1–6a.

manually prepared forms and records covered elsewhere in this pamphlet. When procedures of the STAMIS disagree
with the procedures in this pamphlet, follow the STAMIS procedures.
(3) Some equipment operations and maintenance procedures are not automated by the maintenance STAMIS. For
these requirements, the manual forms and records procedures outlined in chapters 2 through 10 of this pamphlet are
used.
(4) Units or activities that are ULLS users should comply with Automated Information System Manual (AISM)
25–L3Q–AWC–ZZZ–EM (ULLS End User Manual) and chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this pamphlet. ULLS provides
automated procedures for performing and managing limited TAMMS functions and standard maintenance facility
operations. The forms automated through ULLS are authorized for use.
(5) Units or activities operating under SAMS use the procedures outlined in the appropriate SAMS AISMs
25–L21–AHN–ZZZ–EM, 25–L26–AHO–ZZZ–EM, and 25–L2S–AHR–HPC–EM (F) and chapter 3 of this pamphlet.
SAMS provides automated procedures for performing and managing limited TAMMS functions for DS/GS maintenance

(c) The examples and illustrations are used as guides only. The text and figure instructions must be read and then
forms showing equipment, unit, and status are filled in appropriately. If there is a conflict between the form and the
instructions in the figure, the instructions should be followed.
(d) Commanders may appoint a representative to authenticate/sign some forms and records. When a representative is
appointed, that authority must be in writing on a memorandum, in orders, or on a DA Form 1687 (Notice of Delegation
of Authority—Receipt for Supplies) (see DA Pam 710–2–1).
(e) Commanders should comply with the disposition instructions provided for each TAMMS form or record. A
form/record may be retained in the unit beyond the prescribed period when required locally to assist management or in
special situations. A form is not retained beyond the prescribed time merely for inspection purposes.
