The DA 7281 is a command-oriented security screening record required under Army Regulation AR 190-11 for soldiers assigned to Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E) duties. The form covers four key evaluation areas: a face-to-face commander interview that assesses the soldier's reliability and background; a review of personnel and medical records for disqualifying conditions; a records check by the Provost Marshal covering military police files, civilian court records, and federal security databases; and a final suitability determination signed by the commanding officer. The completed document authorizes unescorted AA&E access and must be retained in the unit's arms room file for audit purposes.
