F
illing out DA Form 2028s,
Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank
Forms,
sat on the back burner because of more than a decade of war.
Now that Army drawdowns are likely and high op tempos are slowing down, it’s
time to get back into the good habit of having your say on DA Form 2028s when you
see problems with TMs.
Every TM, whether paper or electronic (ETM/IETM), comes with a DA Form
2028 and instructions on how to ±ll it out. In the paper manuals, the 2028 is located
in the back of the TM with an address for where to send it.
Keep in mind that the life cycle management commands (LCMC) want you to
tell them about TM problems, errors and mistakes. And the only way that happens
is if you completely and correctly write up the problem and use the most up-to-date
manual. If you don’t, the system will automatically reject your 2028.
When you’ve got everything together, send it in to the respective LCMC for action.
Include a phone number so you can be called if there’s any trouble understanding
your 2028. Supporting photos can also be helpful.
Changes don’t happen unless you act. So turn in those 2028s and get the TM
change ball rolling.
You can ±nd more information on where to send electronic 2028s on Pages 54-55
of this issue.
Our conclusion is
that you need to
follow the PMCS in
your vehicle’s -10 TM,
especially
when the
snow starts to fly.
Thanks for all your
help! We’ll sure take
cold weather PM to
heart from now on.

Hey, james,
I found a
problem
with
one of the
procedures
in this TM!
so what are
you
waiting
for?
the only way
to get things
like that
fixed
is to send in a
DA Form 2028.
finally,
I got
someone’s attention
about the importance
of cold weather PM!
at long last,
I can rest in
peace!
