The DA Form 2028 is widely used for
submitting recommended changes to tHe
content and forMat of public±tions. It's
a valUable tooL for keeping the publica-

suggestions and recommend changes to
the concepts and policies reflected in the

ide±s, exPeriences and suggestions right
to tHe people wHo prepare the AR's,
T³'s, F³'s, TB's and other publications²

Army needs ±lL tHe fresH ideas and Points
of view it can get, so don't be shy about
giving the policy makers the benefit of
your thinking and experience.

ample, but the S³R codes won't let you
have the parts?
Or maybe you have the know¹How to
