ULLS-G…
The DA Form 5988-E, is an
ULLS-G form that replaces
the manual DA Form
2404, PMCS Worksheet.
The 5988-E has three
sections:
•
Equipment Data
iden-
tifies the unit, vehicle,
type of inspection, and
the technical manuals
needed for the inspection
•
Parts Requested
IDs
the requisition document
number, part NIIN and
name, quantity, status,
and priority.
•
Maintenance
Faults
describe faults, applies
fault status codes, and
details corrective action.
On 30 and 31 OCT 03
the operator pulled
before,
during
and
after PMCS but found
no faults. On 3 NOV 03
the operator found
three faults he could
not fix. He lists the
faults, showing the
PMCS sequence number
from the TM, the date,
fault status, and fault.
He enters his license
number in the Equip-
ment Data section and
takes the form to his
supervisor who signs it
and returns it to the
motor sergeant.
A mechanic checks the faults, determines corrective action and the parts needed to com-
plete repair.
The mechanic was able to replace the headlamp. It took him one hour and
he was able to get the extinguisher recharged in an hour. He entered his license number
to show items 7 and 10 were completed. He looked up the part he needed for item 12 in
the -24&P TM and passed the NIIN, name, and 5988-E to the ULLS-G clerk. The clerk orders
the part and updates the 5988-E. The commander authorizes the funding for the repair
part on a separate report. The actual parts order isn’t a requisition until the commander
obligates the funds.
The DA Form 5988-E,
Equipment
Maintenance and inspection
Worksheet,
pumps life into unit
level maintenance operations.
Here’s
some tips on
how to use
the form.
The Equipment
Data is mainly
filled in by the
ULLS-G computer,
but operators
