The DA Form 4711, officially titled "Statement of Law Violations," serves a critical role in assessing the moral qualifications of selective service registrants eyeing entry into the Armed Forces of the United States. This form, governed by regulations set out in AR 601-270 and mandated by the Military Selective Service Act - 50 USC Appendix 451, alongside Executive Order 9397 dated November 22, 1943, requires registrants to disclose any past arrests, charges, convictions, or juvenile adjudications. The essence is to maintain the integrity and standards of the Department of Defense by ensuring that individuals with a history that may contradict these standards are carefully reviewed. The form is designed with privacy in mind, adhering to the Privacy Act of 1974, thus assuring that the information provided is used in strict confidence and only for its intended purpose. It emphasizes the importance of honesty in the disclosure process, warning that failure to provide accurate information might lead to prosecution under federal law, military law, or administrative separation with potentially less than honorable discharge. Through questions that probe into past interactions with law enforcement or judicial systems, and details on any court actions or civil suits, the DA Form 4711 effectively filters candidates, upholding the high moral standards required for service in the Armed Forces.
