DA Form 2408-4…
Are You a Gun Card User?
N
eglecting this duty leads to expensive cannon tubes being replaced early. Even
worse, some cannon tubes continue to be used when they should be condemned.
Very unsafe!
Unfortunately, a lot of users aren’t updating their cards on the Army Electronic
Product Support (AEPS) website (
). In fact, for M1-series
tanks alone, more than 2,500 gun cards haven’t been updated in the last 12 months!
DA Pam 750-8 (Feb 05),
The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS)
Users Manual
, makes the unit commander responsible for designating someone to
update the unit’s gun cards.
All units should check their lists of authorized users at the AEPS electronic gun
card website. Make sure all inactive or obsolete users are eliminated. Update all
email addresses and make sure only AKO addresses are used. That will help reduce
the amount of email traffic and the number of inactive gun card users.
