Da Form 5704 R PDF Details

The DA Form 5704-R is the official US Army Alternate Pistol Qualification Course Scorecard used to assess and record a soldier's marksmanship performance on the alternate pistol course. The form organizes the qualification process into numbered firing tables, each covering a specific shooting position and distance requirement. Positions tested include standing, kneeling, crouching, and prone, both with support and unsupported. Additional tables evaluate performance under CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) conditions and during nighttime firing.

For each table, the range officer records the number of rounds fired and the number of hits. The total hits from all tables are summed in a dedicated summary section, and the rating calculator on the form assigns a qualification level: expert, sharpshooter, marksman, or unqualified. A GO or NO-GO determination is marked based on whether the soldier meets the minimum qualification threshold.

The form also includes procedural sections covering mandatory magazine changes, loading and unloading requirements, and CBRN masking drills. These sections ensure that all safety and regulatory standards are observed during the qualification course. The completed and signed scorecard serves as the official record of the soldier's pistol qualification and is filed with the unit.
