What must be submitted to the CCO after completing the inspection checklist?

The requirement to submit the DA Form 2404 along with the inspection checklist to the CCO is crucial in documenting the inspection process and the condition of the container being evaluated. The DA Form 2404 serves as an official record to indicate the status of the equipment and provides detailed information about any deficiencies discovered during the inspection, or confirms that the container is deemed fit for continued use.

This submission process enhances accountability and ensures that all inspections are thoroughly documented for future reference. It also facilitates communication between different departments and helps maintain compliance with regulatory standards governing intermodal containers, thereby upholding safety and operational efficiency.

The other options, while potentially relevant in certain contexts, do not fulfill the specific requirement of reporting inspection findings to the CCO. The repair documentation pertains to maintenance details that might be necessary if repairs were needed but is not required for the inspection checklist submission. Preliminary inspection results are part of the inspection process but do not represent the formal submission needed for record-keeping. The shipping manifest is related to the logistics of cargo movement rather than inspection results, making it irrelevant to the specific requirement for submission to the CCO.
