(c) All copies of DA Form 2407 (Maintenance Request) or DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) (see DA Pam 750–8) used during deprocessing, fielding, or NET.
(d) All software trouble reports will include sufficient information on the nature of problems, point-of-contact for the problem, current setup of system, software version number loaded and other pertinent data to assess the problem, design and develop resolutions, and generate and test functionality. (e) For medical systems and equipment, all standard and nonstandard items found to be injurious or unsatisfactory will be reported in accordance with Quadpartite Standardization Agreement 2907. b. DA Form 5680 may be automated for local use.
The MFT chief will submit DA Form 5680 and provide it to the gaining unit within 30 days after completion of the fielding (fielding of the materiel to the gaining unit) and post it to the TAFS Web site (http//:aeps.ria.army.mil). A message will be sent to tpf@hqda.army.mil to say that a new report h a s b e e n p o s t e d . F o r m e d i c a l i t e m s , m a i l a c o p y t o C o m m a n d e r , U . S .

A copy of the DA Form 5680 will be provided to the GC for audit and quality control purposes. Section II Total Package Fielding 5–13. Standard fielding process a.
The TPF is the Army’s standard materiel fielding process for new or modified materiel systems. TPF process is designed to provide a consolidated support package of equipment and materiel to the using units. This materiel distribution control process has the PM, rather than the GC, budget for and order the new system and its initial issue support, as defined in the MFP and the performance agreement. The actions needed to accomplish TPF will vary based on the TPF category and complexity of the system and support package. The TPF support package includes the logistics support products that are required to support the new or modified materiel system.
TPF does not include the infrastructure (such as facilities) that is required for the unit. The infrastructure requirements are identified and planned for as part of the supportability planning process, but they are not included as part of the TPF package. Although TPF and NET are usually done in conjunction with one another, NET is not part of TPF. TPF personnel and NET personnel coordination and constant communication are needed. This effort will provide accurate information to address NET in the MFP according to DA Pam 700–142, appendix E. All TPF activity will be documented in the TAFS Web site (https://aeps.ria.army.mil).
The TAFS and MRTS Web sites will be linked so that data will be shared between them. b. The PM plans for and acquires and requisitions the system and virtually all its support. Thus, TPF is designed to relieve the GC and subordinate units of much of the logistics burden associated with materiel fielding. A DA Form 5682 is coordinated with the GC and the PM consolidates and ships the initial issue support items by authorized unit level. The delivery of the packaged support items and the major end items is coordinated, and a joint inventory with the gaining units is conducted prior to fielding. The PM provides a customer documentation package to post all TPF materiel to gaining unit records.
c. The TPF level of effort for both the fielding command in conjunction with the PM and each GC will differ based on the category of TPF. The following four factors are consistent throughout all categories: (1) The PM will program funds for initial issue materiel to be provided under TPF. (2) The PM will requisition the initial issue materiel. (3) The PM will deliver all the TPF materiel to the customer in a coordinated manner and pay all costs for deprocessing and fielding of TPF materiel. (4) The PM will provide customer documentation. d. The categories of TPF are defined in table 5–1. 30 AR 700–142 • 26 March 2008
