INTRODUCTION

1-17. Recording BDAR Repairs.

a. All components of an M109 vehicle/M110 series vehicle/M578 Recovery Vehicle, which are

repaired using BDAR or other expedient techniques, shall be marked with a tag, DD Form 1577, or similar

conspicuous tag. It is not necessary to till out the form. The purpose of marking an item which has been

repaired using BDAR techniques is to quickly enable mechanics to recognize these parts when the vehicle

is subsequently returned for authorized permanent repair.

b. Since it is impractical to attach tags to expediently repaired components located on the outside of

the vehicle, the fix shall be noted on DD Form 1577 or similar tag, and the tags stored in the compartment

normally reserved for the vehicle log book.

c. A tag should also be placed conspicuously in the vehicle commander’s position when a BDAR

procedure has resulted in a degraded operating capability. This tag should be marked “BDAR” and noted

with its specific limitations or cautions.

d. When a component is cannibalized from a repairable vehicle, a tag should be attached in the

space created by the missing part to alert downstream repair personnel quickly that the part has been

removed.

e. When the vehicle is recovered/evacuated for permanent standard repair, and DA Forms 2404 and

5504 are used, the notation “BDAR” shall be added in the space provided for description of deficiencies.

■

f. DA PAM 738-750 provides for disposition of DA Form 2404 and copy number 2 of DA Form 5504.

When "BDAR" is noted on these forms, they shall be mailed to: Survivability/Vulnerability Information

Analysis Center (SURVIAC), AFFDL/FES/CDIC, Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433. The information on

■

these forms will provide data for designing vehicles to be less susceptible to combat damage and easier to

repair when damaged.
