GENERAL
Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork.
There is not much
of it, but you have to keep it up.
The forms and records you fill out
have several uses.
They are a permanent record of the services,
repairs, and modifications made on your vehicle.
They are reports to
organizational maintenance and to your commander.
And they are a
checklist for you when you want to know what is wrong with the vehicle
after its last use, and whether those faults have been fixed.
For the
information you need on forms and records, see DA PAM 738-750.
