MAINTENANCE FORMS AND RECORDS.
Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There isn't much of it,
but you have to keep it up. The forms and records you fill out have several
uses:
1. They are a record of the usage, service, transfers and modifications
m a d e on your equipment.
2 . T h e y are used as a checklist when you want to know what is wrong with
the equipment and whether those faults have been fixed after its last use.
See TM 38-750 for the required information on the forms and records.
