Reporting Equipment Improvement Recommendations (ElR’s).

ElR’s can and must be submitted by anyone who is aware of an unsatisfactory condition with the

equipment design or use. It is not necessary to show a new design or list a better way to perform a

procedure, just simply tell why the design is unfavorable or why a procedure is difficult. See TM 38-

750. Mail ElR’s directly to Commander, U.S. Army Tank Automotive Materiel Readiness Command,

ATTN: DRSTA-MTC, Warren, Michigan, 48090. A reply will be furnished to you.

Equipment Improvement Report and Maintenance Digest (ElR MD) and Equipment Improvement

Report and Maintenance Summary (EIR MS).

The quarterly Equipment Improvement Report and Maintenance Digest, TB 43-0001-39 series, con-

tains valuable field information on the equipment covered in this manual. The information in the

TB 43-0001-39 series is compiled from some of the Equipment Improvement Reports that you pre-

pared on the vehicles covered in this manual. Many of these articles result from comments, suggestions,

and improvement recommendations that you submitted to the ElR program. The TB 43-0001-39 series

contains information on equipment improvements, minor alterations, proposed Modification Work

Orders (MWO’S), warranties (if applicable), actions taken on some of your DA Form 2028’s (Recom-

mended Changes to Publications), and advance information on proposed changes that may affect this

manual. In addition, the more maintenance significant articles, including minor alterations, field-fixes,

etc., that have a more permanent and continuing need in the field are republished in the Equipment

Improvement Report and Maintenance Summary (EIR MS) for TARCOM Equipment (TM 43-0143).

Refer to both of these publications (TB 43-0001-39 series and TM 43-0143) periodically, especially

the TB 43-0001-39 series, for the most current and authoritative information on your equipment.

The information will help you in doing your job better and will help in keeping you advised of the

latest changes to this manual. Also refer to DA Pam 310-4, Index of Technical Publications, and

Appendix A, References, of this manual.
