→ EQUIPMENT MODIFICATION RECORD

HR

The purpose of your DA Form 2408-5, Equipment Modification Record, is to

keep a record of the requirements for and the application of all authorized modification of equipment.

The owning organization or outfit writes in the MWO info on the left side of the form as soon as the MWO is received-no matter who's supposed to apply it. The DA Form 2408-5 will be a permanent part of the equipment log on items of equipment listed in para 4-26 of TM 38-750... also, you make a separate DA Form 2408-5 when an MWO is applied to assemblies or components coded as "Recoverable" in the parts manual, except for those components on which a DA Form 2409 is required.

The 2408-5 has two major sections-"Modifications Requifed," "Modifications Completed."

WHEN YOU REMOVE AN ASSEMBLY OR
COMPONENT THAT HAS A 2408-5, TAKE IT
OUT OF THE EQUIPMENT LOG AND PUT IT
IN A PROTECTIVE COVER AND ATTACH IT TO
THE ASSEMBLY OR COMPONENT.

If there's a 2408-5 for an assembly or component that's installed on equipment, then the form that goes along with the component or assembly will be put in the equipment log of the item on which the assembly or component is installed.

→ EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE RECORD

HR

This four-copy form is a means of keeping a record of transfer of specific items of equipment. You can get the list of equipment in para 4-26 of TM 38-750. TM 38-750

You use the 2408-7 when transfering or shipping equipment to another organization, salvage, disposal, loss in combat, or when the FSN is changed because it's been modified or rebuilt.

You don't use it when you're sending the equipment out on loan or when you're evacuating it for repair and return to you.

The outfit which has the equipment before the transaction or loss has to make out the DA Form 2408-7 and the one that receives it also fills in a 2408-7.

You fill out this revised 2408-7 very much like you did the old form.

Don't get confused when you get to
Block 6. The line number of the item
is found in paragraph 4-26 of revised
TM 38-750.

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE FOUR COPIES
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
TRANSFER RECORD.

The No. 1 copy is sent to your supporting maintenance activity.

The No. 2 (Control Copy) goes to the organization's major command.

The No. 3 copy is filed in the equipment log book. The old copy gets destroyed.

The No. 4 (NMP) copy goes to AMDPC or to the right commodity command listed in Appendix II of TM 38-750.

HR DA Form 2408-8

This form is just what the name implies-Equipment Acceptance and Registration Record.

It's filled out by the accepting inspector who includes the status of the equipment when it was received from the manufacturer.

This form is strictly for information only at user level to assist you when you're filling out DA Form 2407, 2408-7 or 2410.

Note: If you receive equipment without this form in the log book, prepare a new form and fire NMP copy in to AMDPC, noting in the remarks block: "Equipment received w/o DA Form 2408-8."

PROOF ACCEPTANCE RECORD

Here's another form that doesn't have to be made out by using units.

This form is used to show a rifled cannon tube, or equipment on which one is installed, has been proof tested in accordance with regulations. It is also used to record serial numbers of replaced tubes and the date the tube was replaced.

Here's another one of those forms that is used for more than one thing. (But,

this form isn't used for aircraft.)

It is used to keep a record of components that are replaced. You keep a record of serially numbered items and those that are capable of operating separately. Examples are engines, transmissions, compressors, winches, etc.

You also use the 2408-10 as an index when you keep several equipment logs in one binder.

The third use of the form is to keep a record of missile components and replacements.

The 2408-10 becomes a permanent part of the log book when it's used as an index or as a component replacement record.
