Jeff,
Here is more info:
The DOD regulation (DoD 4160.21-M 74.d (1) (c), which states, "The SF 97 is
designed normally for use with commercial vehicles such as passenger cars,
multi-purpose vehicles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, buses, and similar
wheeled vehicles. The following vehicles, generally referred to as
tactical vehicles, are excepted: (a) A military vehicle that is tracked or
has a gross weight of more than 16,000 pounds; (b) Any vehicle which must
be mutilated as required by subparagraph B74g, or otherwise DEMIL'd in
accordance with the Defense DEMIL and TSC Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1; (c) Any
vehicle that is 25 years or older...."
That having been said, the decision on whether or not to issue a SF 97
remains largely with the DRMO. Some DRMOs will issue a SF 97 regardless of
the age of the vehicle. We cannot force a DRMO to issue a SF 97 when the
DoD regulations clearly state that they are not obligated to do so.
