Section II PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES

a. Maintenance Forms and Records. Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There isn't much of it, but

services, repairs, and modifications made on your distributor; 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 distributor 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.
b. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (see Table 3-1).
