DD Form 2506 – Vehicle Impoundment Report

DD Form 2506 PDF Details

The Vehicle Impoundment Report (DD 2506) is a standardized military document used to record vehicle impoundments on U.S. military installations. Military law enforcement officers, installation security personnel, and commanding officers use this document to capture all critical information related to a vehicle impoundment, ensuring a clear and organized approach to impoundment proceedings.

What Information This Document Captures

The Vehicle Impoundment Report is structured into three main sections. The first section records vehicle identification: make, model, year, color, identification number, license plate details, mileage, and decal number. It also captures registered owner and operator information including names, addresses, organizational affiliations, and telephone numbers.

The second section covers impoundment specifics: the reason for impoundment (ranging from accidents to unauthorized parking), vehicle condition at the time of impoundment, damage information, vehicle location, and any personal property contained in the vehicle. The final section documents the administrative side: impoundment date and time, the reporting and witnessing parties, and full release information and details.

When to Use the Vehicle Impoundment Report

Military law enforcement officers must complete this form any time a vehicle is impounded on a military installation. Common reasons include unauthorized parking, accidents, abandoned or unregistered vehicles, and vehicles associated with security investigations. Accurate completion protects both the impounding authority and the vehicle owner by creating a verifiable record of the vehicle condition and impoundment circumstances.
