The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual

designated representative designates a qualified person who did not perform the repair work; this designated inspector
puts a last name initial over the status symbol to accept the work and start the process to close out the fault.
(b) Changing an X to a CIRCLED X status symbol. A fault with an X status symbol puts the equipment in an
inoperative condition. The equipment may have to be sent to a higher level maintenance activity for repair. Operating
equipment in a CIRCLED X status symbol always carries some risk or danger. The commander or commander’s
designated representative verifies each deficiency on a daily or mission basis, whichever is more frequent.
1. Before allowing limited operations, make sure the crew or operators will not be endangered or the equipment
further damaged.
2. A change to an X to a CIRCLED X is always temporary. When the daily or mission dispatch is over, the
equipment goes back to an X status.
3. Changing an X NMC condition to a CIRCLED X affects only the operation of the equipment. The time is still
counted as NMC on DA Form 2406 (Materiel Condition Status Report), DA Form 3266–1 (Army Missile Materiel
Readiness Report), DD Form 314 (Preventive Maintenance Schedule and Record), and DA Form 3266–2 (Missile
Materiel Condition Status Report Worksheet).
f. Disposition.
(1) DA Form 5988–E/DA Form 2404 is kept in the equipment record folder or in a protected cover until it is
completed if no faults have been found. If faults are found during an operator or crews PMCS, it is given to the
maintenance supervisor for action.
(a) Maintenance section leaders review DA Form 5988–E/DA Form 2404 prior to destruction to ensure all corrective
actions have been completed.
(b) Faults that must be fixed at support maintenance are transferred to DA Form 2407 and attached to DA Forms
5988–E or 2404.
(c) Faults that cannot be fixed until a part comes in or that must be deferred are entered into ULLS or go on DA
Form 2408–14 if using manual procedures.
(d) Status symbol X faults cannot go on DA Form 2408–14. When there is a NMC deficiency on DA Form 2404, it
is kept until the deficiency has been repaired. This includes DA Form 2404 on equipment sent to support maintenance.
The form or a locally used signal is kept in the equipment record folder to keep the equipment from being dispatched.
(2) DA Form 5988–E/DA Form 2404 used for scheduled services are kept on file for quality control until the next
service is performed. All uncorrected faults are entered into ULLS–G, moved to DA Form 2408–14 or DA Form 2407,
and the service recorded on DD Form 314. Forms carrying a status symbol X are kept until the fault is corrected.
(3) DA Forms 5988–E/2404 that show a periodic service on equipment that does not have historical records or a DD
Form 314 are kept. DA Forms 5988E/2404 are destroyed only when the next periodic service is done. Any open faults
at that time go on the new DA Forms 5988E/2404 unless a separate DA Form 2408–14 is used. This situation normally
applies to the form used for services on more than one item or when an operator level service is required and must be
documented. If the form lists no faults from previous service, the same form is used to show the results of the current
service.
(4) DA Forms 5988–E/2404 used for technical inspections stay with the item until all maintenance is performed or
item is disposed of. A copy of DA Form 2404 goes with an item evacuated to support maintenance units or depots for
repair or overhaul.
(5) When the form has been used to report BDAR action (fig 3–31), DA Form 5988–E/DA Form 2404 are mailed to
Survivability/Vulnerability Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC), ATTN: AFRL/VACS/SURVIAC, Wright-Patterson
AFB, OH 45433.
(6) DA Form 2404 used for estimated cost of damage (ECOD) (figs 3–32, 3–33) is handled as follows:
(a) Two copies are attached to copy 4 of DA Form 2407 that requested the ECOD and returned to the requesting
unit. The requesting unit with a DA Form 2407 returns a copy to request repair of the damage.
(b) A third copy is filled with copy 5 of DA Form 2407 at the maintenance support activity.
3–11. DA Form 5989–E/AHN007/DA Form 2405 (Maintenance Request Register)
a. Purpose. DA Form 5989–E/AHN007/DA Form 2405 are used to record all work requests (DA Form 5990–E/DA
Form 2407) received and handled by maintenance activities.
b. Use.
(1) Units supported by ULLS are not required to maintain a manual DA Form 2405, as it is automated within
ULLS. The automated form, DA Form 5989–E (fig 3–34), provides a consolidation list of all open work orders and
man-hours and work-order status.
(2) SAMS–1 automates DA Form 2405 at the DS/GS support maintenance activity and produces the AHN007
report. This report is used as a consolidated record of all maintenance requests (DA Form 5990–E/DA Form 2407)
received.
(3) Manual units supported by a SAMS DS/GS maintenance activity use the manually prepared DA Form 2405 (fig
3–34) when assigning the ORG WON to DA Form 2407 for tracking organization work orders reflecting NMC
