Answer
For situations where equipment becomes dangerous
to people, a Ground Precautionary Message and a
Safety of Use Message should be issued in
accordance with AR 7506. A SF 368 is used to
report Equipment Improvement Recommendations
(EIR). You can submit an SF 368 via Electronic
Deficiency Reporting System (https//aeps.ria.army
.mil), mail, e-mail, or fax to the military
service/agency screening point for that item
