The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual

This can include services performed by other echelons or units when the commander so directs. If a commander wants
operator or crew services scheduled, they are entered in the Remarks block.
(6) ATC documentation. Document ATC required data should be documented as follows:
(a) Within remarks section, exact PMCS technical references are shown, down to specific paragraph.
(b) Within remarks section, normal time required for each PMCS interval is shown.
(c) Within remarks section, date of last flight check of navigational aid is shown.
(7) Prohibitions. DD Form 314 is NOT USED for—
(a) Periodic services designated for the operator or crew.
(b) Showing oil samples taken.
(c) Training aids and devices (equipment used ONLY for training). Small arms/weapons must be classified as
unusable per AR 190-11 before they can be considered training aids.
(d) Equipment provided with an ADP printout or automated forms that list DD Form 314 data such as ULLS.
(e) Unit services on TMDE when the operators perform the services without supervision by unit maintenance
personnel.
(f) Record NMC time for missile system/missile subsystem per AR 700-138, chapter 4.
(8) General instructions. Table 3–1 and figures 3–11 through 3–23 are used when determining the type of DD Form
314 required.
(a) Army equipment is divided into three categories for the purpose of filling out DD Form 314s. Equipment listed
in AR 700–138, tables B–1 and B–2, represent the first two categories, respectively. Both are reportable. The third
category is equipment that requires service data only as determined by the applicable technical manual but is not a
reportable item, as outlined in AR 700–138, appendix B.
(b) Army equipment is further defined as a system, subsystem, equipment end item, or a component. A system is a
group of items separately authorized on a modification table of organization and equipment (MTOE) or TDA that
forms a single operational unit. A subsystem is a separately authorized item issued or intended to work with other
items to form an operational unit. An equip end item is a separately authorized item issued or intended to work
independently but is not reportable. A component is an item that is an integral part of a system, a subsystem or an
equip end item and is not authorized separately. A component may have a LIN and requires services as outlined in a
technical manual. The technical manual determines when to do a component DD Form 314. If the TM combines the
services for all components, a component card is not required. Services are annotated on the front side of the respective
DD Form 314. If the TM does not combine all component services, then a separate card is prepared for each
component using its appropriate service schedule from its responsible TM.

(9) Special instructions. Use a signal system to show when a service is scheduled in the current month. A month can
be from the first day to the last day of the month (for example, 1 May through 31 May), or from a day in one month to
the same day in the next month (for example, 13 September to 13 October). At the start of each month, enter signals
(for example, colored paper clips) on the date blocks for the service. When the service is pulled; take the signal off the
card or move it from the date block to one corner. Use the following signals.
(a) Green signal indicates a lube (L) is needed.
(b) Yellow signal indicates a T, I, R, W, M, Q, S, A, B, H, E, F, Z, or other service is due.
(c) Red signal is inserted over the right corner of the card when equipment is NMC. For equipment reported as a
system in AR 700–138, table B–2, the red signal only is used on the system card. The signal is reused when the
equipment is fixed.
(10) Low usage instructions. Handle low usage as follows:
(a) Definition. Services for equipment that accumulates or is anticipated to accumulate less than the specific
