The DD Form 1857 enables military personnel to obtain approval for commercial storage of household goods and personal property. Common uses include:
Active duty service members, reservists, and Department of Defense civilians who require commercial storage during a military move must submit the completed form to their local transportation office for authorization. Proper completion and submission ensures that storage costs are approved and reimbursable under applicable military regulations.
