1-14. Recording BDAR Repairs. All BDAR repairs must be recorded and the record properly processed.

a. All components which are repaired using BDAR or other expedient techniques, shall be marked with DD Form

1577, or similar conspicuous tag. It is not necessary to fill out the form. The purpose of marking an item which has been

repaired using BDAR techniques is to quickly enable maintenance personnel to recognize these parts when the equipment

is subsequently returned for authorized permanent repair.

b. When a component is cannibalized, a tag should be attached in the space created by the missing part to alert

higher echelon repair personnel quickly that the part has been removed.

c. When the equipment is recovered/evacuated for permanent standard repair, and DA Forms 2404 and 2407 are

used, the notation "BDAR" shall be added in the space provided for description of deficiencies.

d. DA Pam 738-750 provides for disposition of DA Form 2404 and copy number 3 of DA Form 2407. When "BDAR"

is noted on these forms, they shall be mailed to: Commander, U.S. Army Troop Support Command, ATTN: AMSTRMES,

4300 Goodfellow Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63120-1798. The information on these forms will provide data for designing

ECU to be less susceptible to combat damage and easier to repair when damaged.
