Dear Editor,
We know how important it
is to keep a current DA Form
2408-4,
Weapon Record
Data Card,
for each mortar,
artillery and armor cannon.
The 2408-4 is the required
way to keep an accurate count
of the number and types of
rounds fired. If the data is not
up-to-date, a gun tube could be
condemned too soon or, even
worse, not condemned soon
enough.
But I have run into units that
think because the 2408-4 can
now be updated electronically
on the Internet they don’t need
to keep a hard copy of the
form for each weapon. That
is wrong. A hard copy of the
2408-4 is required by DA PAM
750-8,
Army Maintenance
Management.
Please help spread the word.

Editor’s note:
You’re absolutely right, Kent. Every unit
needs to always have a current hard copy
oF 2408-4 that can go to the feld with the
weapon so that the operator can record
the rounds. The Form will also be prooF at
the fring site that the cannon has passed
inspection and is ready For fring.
But
units
need
to
also
pass
the
inFormation on the 2408-4 to TACOM, so
that they can enter it into the database.
To do this, go to:
and log in with your CAC. IF it’s your
frst time, fll out the ACCESS REQUEST
±ORM. Click on
GUN CARD FIRING
DATA
, then
VIEW/PRINT
. Enter the tube,
cannon and end item serial numbers and/
or the UIC oF the card you’re searching
For. Click on
