Equipment Log Book

[mgFray]

I was wondering if anyone had a pointer to the pages that would typically be in the HMMWV equipment log book? So far I've failed googling to find examples of the pages.

I'm planning on simply starting a log book on my project, but I'm curious what a REAL log book looks like.

I keep a log for my vehicles on my phone under Notes. Each vehicle has is own section and I have yet to lose my phone unlike paper that I can’t keep track of. I can also print it out if needed. I usually have my phone with me while working on stuff so I can add a pic if needed. Log books look impressive but I don’t know how functional they are nowadays.

DA form 2408-9 Equipment control Record
2404

Thanks this explained a lot. One question this talk about the "equipment record" book. I assume after each maintenance or dispatch, the forms are then moved into the equipment log book for long-term storage?

Well, yes and no. If someone is running a manual system, then the forms go into files. But with the computer system, (was called SAMMS I think when I was in) kept track of all info, IF the operator brought the forms back, AND IF the SAMMS operator input them. A few forms stay in the log book, but most not. DA Pam 750-8 should tell you what forms go where. Its to be had online. The only thing that gets lost more then a log book, is my wife's car keys.

The log book was always checked out with the key to the vehicle from Motorpool.
accident card was also present, who to call..etc

Yes, the Da Form 2404. Its used for inspections, services, record of what is needing correction. If the correction is done and parts needed along with sometimes, document number for ordered parts. Very handy form, and this one is computer read. When I did inspections as a contractor, I kept them on my laptop.
