for future corrections to be made as an operation has ceased. Stop operation which would

damage the equipment if operation were to continue. All deficiencies and shortcomings

shall be recorded together with the corrective action taken on DA Form 2404 Equipment

Inspection and Maintenance Inspection Worksheet, at the earliest opportunity. If your

equipment fails to operate, troubleshoot with proper equipment. Report any deficiencies

using proper forms. See DA PAM 738-750.
