The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual

(2) An ORG WON is assigned when reportable equipment listed in AR 700–138, or when a command maintenancesignificant
item designated by the local commander, become inoperative. An ORG WON is also assigned when a
nonreportable subsystem of a reportable weapon system causes the weapon system to become inoperative. The
positions of an ORG WON are as follows:
(a) The first five positions of an ORG WON are the UIC after the W. For example, a unit with a UIC of WABCD0
(zero) would use ABCD0 (zero) as the first five positions of each ORG WON. The letters I and O are not permitted in
a UIC. Numeric 0 (zero) is authorized for use in a UIC.
(b) If the sixth position of the ORG WON has a zero (0) or a (1), it identifies ground or missile maintenance
equipment, and whether it is reportable or not. A zero (0) identifies an end item as reportable under AR 700–138 or
when list in the maintenance master data file (MMDF), or when a command maintenance-significant item, selected by
a local commander, becomes inoperative. Also, zero (0) is assigned when a nonreportable subsystem of a reportable
weapon system causes the weapon system to be inoperative. One (1) is used if the item of equipment is not reportable.
Also, one (1) is used if a sixth position of the ORG WON has a two (2) or a three (3); it identifies aircraft maintenance
equipment, and whether it is reportable or not. Two (2) identifies an end item as reportable under AR 700–138, or
when a command maintenance-significant item, selected by a local commander, becomes inoperative. Also, two (2) is
assigned when a nonreportable subsystem of a reportable weapon system causes the weapon system to be inoperative.
Three (3) is used if the item of equipment is not reportable. Also, three (3) is used if a reportable item needs repair but
is not inoperative; for example, if painting is needed.
(c) The seventh position of the ORG WON is the year within the decade. For example, the seventh position for each
ORG WON assigned in 1992 would be two (2).
(d) The last five positions of the ORG WON are the sequence number of the work order. The sequence number is
assigned at the unit maintenance platoon/section on DA Form 2405 for manual units.
(e) The first seven positions of the ORG WON stay the same during the year and are the same for each work order.
The last five positions, however, are unique to each work order (for example, 0000199999 or HHC12).
c. Special instructions. An ORG WON must be assigned for all inoperative equipment, even if it is immediately
evacuated to DS without any maintenance performed at the unit.
3–5. DA Form 5409 and DA Form 5410
For units supported by ULLS, data collected on these forms are furnished to SAMS on an ULLS transaction diskette or
via telecommunications (SAMS transactions, to include maintenance requests, equipment deficiencies, and inoperative
organizational parts data). If any unit within a specific battalion, brigade, division, and so on, is not operating on
ULLS, they submit DA Form 5409 and DA Form 5410 for all reportable equipment. All other assigned or attached
units are restricted from submitting manual inoperative reporting forms. Use DA Form 5409 and DA Form 5410 to
report deadlined or parts data, unless data are reduced at the SAMS–2 site.
a. DA Form 5409.
(1) Purpose. DA Form 5409 provides SAMS with the customer unit portion of the inoperative equipment data
required to automate readiness management.
(2) Use. DA Form 5409 is used to report inoperative items that are reportable equipment identified in AR 700–138,
including subsystems of reportable weapon systems, or command maintenance significant equipment that is designated
by the local commander for special management. Units operating under the ULLS do not use DA Form 5409.
(3) General instructions.
(a) A DA Form 5409 is required whenever an item of equipment becomes NMC and meets the definition of an
inoperative item in paragraph 3–1h. The form is prepared by the unit maintenance clerk and input to the supporting
SAMS–2 site daily (figs 3–1, 3–2, 3–3).
(b) A DA Form 5409 can also be used when an inoperative item has a change in status at the customer level.
However, if minimum input is desired, additional status may be limited to only significant changes (for example, when
evacuated to DS for repair). Only blocks 1, 2, and 12a, b, and c are required for a status change on a DA Form 5409.
(c) So that SAMS–2 knows what to do with the information on the form, a File Input Action Code in block 1 is
required. There are three action codes associated with DA Form 5409: A is used only when the item initially becomes
inoperative; C is used to report changes in status for an inoperative item that has been reported, or for a controlled
exchange action; and D is used to remove an inoperative item from deadline. When a DA Form 5409 IER with action
code D is submitted, the associated part records for the inoperative item are also deleted in SAMS–2.
(4) Disposition.
(a) After entering information in blocks (11) through (21), a copy of DA Form 5409 is inserted in the visible file
index with any previous ones.
(b) Local SOP establishes distribution of copies of this form. Individual copies of the form are not retained at unit
level unless required for local use. Those copies, if required locally, are not maintained past the current MCSR
reporting period.
b. DA Form 5410.
