Each fault found is listed with its status symbol, and the corrective action column shows what was done or deferred, making the form a working record of the equipment's condition.
The current edition on Army Publishing Directorate is dated February 2011, with the Army G-4 as proponent. Use of the form is governed by the Army maintenance management system described in DA Pam 750-8. Many units record the same information electronically, but the paper worksheet is still used where automated systems are not available.

Frequently asked questions
What do the status symbols on DA Form 2404 mean?
Status symbols indicate the seriousness of a fault, ranging from minor deficiencies to conditions that deadline the equipment. The definitions and rules for their use are in DA Pam 750-8 and the equipment's technical manual; use the exact symbol the condition calls for.
Is DA Form 2404 still used now that units have electronic maintenance systems?
Yes. Automated systems produce an equivalent electronic record in many units, but the paper DA Form 2404 remains in use for field conditions and units without access to the automated system. Follow your unit's maintenance SOP for which record to use.
