Which form would you use to request maintenance for TMDE?

• A. DA 5988-E
• B. DA 2407
• C. DA 1687
• D. DA 7372

Answer: (B)

Initiating maintenance for TMDE uses the DA Form 2407, the Maintenance Request. This form is designed for operators and unit maintenance personnel to report a fault, calibration need, or servicing requirement and start the work-order process. It captures essential details such as the equipment being troubled, its location, serial or asset tag, a description of the problem, and any impact on readiness. Once submitted, it signals that maintenance action is needed and sets the scheduling and workflow in motion. After work is completed, the actual actions taken are documented on the appropriate maintenance record, which tracks what was done, parts used, and follow-up requirements. The other forms listed serve different purposes—either for recording what has already been done or for other administrative tasks—so they aren’t the standard document to request TMDE maintenance.
