The DA Form 4187, known officially as the Personnel Action form, is the standard method for U.S. Army Soldiers to formally request administrative changes. Common request types include absent without leave (AWOL) reconciliation, compassionate or emergency reassignment, duty status changes between present for duty and other categories, reclassification actions, extra rations, training nominations, and name or beneficiary updates. The form moves through the Soldier's chain of command for signatures before reaching the unit S1 or personnel section. Accuracy is critical at every step. Errors in name, Social Security Number, action code, or routing authority often result in the form being returned for correction and cause unnecessary delays in processing the requested personnel action.
