Dd Form 2873 PDF Details

When it comes to maintaining order and safeguarding individuals within the military community, the DD Form 2873, also known as the Military Protective Order (MPO), plays a pivotal role. Authorized under specific legislative and departmental guidelines, its primary purpose is to protect service members and their families by officially prohibiting certain actions and interactions between the subject service member and the protected individual or individuals. This document is comprehensive, covering a range of directives, from restricting communication and physical proximity to detailing custody arrangements and specifying mandatory counseling. The form is systematic in approach, requesting detailed identification information about both the service member subject to the order and the protected person, ensuring there is no ambiguity about the individuals involved. Not only does it outline the immediate safeguards put in place, but it also includes provisions for civil protection orders and specifies the consequences of violating the MPO under military law. Additionally, the form is designed with privacy in mind, instructing that certain sensitive information about the protected person be redacted when shared with the service member. The enforcement and duration of the order, as well as its integration with national crime databases, emphasize the seriousness with which these orders are treated, reflecting a broader commitment to addressing issues like domestic violence, abuse, and stalking within the armed forces.
