Dd Form 4 1 PDF Details

The DD Form 4/1, serving as the enlistment or reenlistment document for the Armed Forces of the United States, plays a crucial part in the military recruitment process, demarcating the initial steps taken by applicants as they commit to service. It operates under a comprehensive legal framework, elaborated through various U.S. codes and an Executive Order, ensuring each enlistee's acknowledgment and consent to the obligations and conditions of their service. This form is not just a procedural step but embeds within it the essence of military commitment - encapsulating the transition from civilian to military life, acknowledging the potential for deployment, and recognizing the legal implications and requirements of service. The form meticulously records personal identification data, the specifics of the enlistment agreement, including duration of service and commitments across active and reserve components, and an understanding of the legal landscape affecting the agreement, thereby serving a multifaceted purpose. It concludes with the solemn oaths that affirm the enlistee's allegiance and commitment to the U.S. Constitution, underscoring the gravity and significance of the step being undertaken. Through its detailed sections, the DD Form 4/1 not only facilitates efficient personnel management and record-keeping but also ensures that enlistees are fully informed of the commitments they are making, the laws that govern their service, and the potential changes that could impact their military career.

C. PARTIAL STATEMENT OF EXISTING UNITED STATES LAWS

9.FOR ALL ENLISTEES OR REENLISTEES:

I understand that many laws, regulations, and military customs

will govern my conduct and require me to do things under this agreement that a civilian does not have to do. I also understand that various laws, some of which are listed in this agreement, directly affect this enlistment/reenlistment agreement. Some examples of how existing laws may affect this agreement are explained in paragraphs 10 and 11. I understand that I cannot change these laws but that Congress may change these laws, or pass new laws, at any time that may affect this agreement, and that I will be subject to those laws and any changes they make to this agreement. I further understand that:

a. My enlistment/reenlistment agreement is more than an employment agreement. It effects a change in status from civilian to military member of the Armed Forces. As a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, I will be:

(1)Required to obey all lawful orders and perform all assigned

duties.

(2)Subject to separation during or at the end of my enlistment. If my behavior fails to meet acceptable military standards, I may be discharged and given a certificate for less than honorable service, which may hurt my future job opportunities and my claim for veteran's benefits.

(3)Subject to the military justice system, which means, among other things, that I may be tried by military courts-martial.

(4)Required upon order to serve in combat or other hazardous situations.

(5)Entitled to receive pay, allowances, and other benefits as provided by law and regulation.

b. Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay, allowances, benefits, and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment/ reenlistment document.

10.MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION, SERVICE ON ACTIVE DUTY AND STOP-LOSS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE NATIONAL GUARD.

a.FOR ALL ENLISTEES: If this is my initial enlistment, I must serve a total of eight (8) years, unless I am sooner discharged or otherwise extended by the appropriate authority. This eight year service requirement is called the Military Service Obligation. Any part of that service not served on active duty must be served in the Reserve Component of the service in which I have enlisted. If this is a reenlistment, I must serve the number of years specified in this agreement, unless I am sooner discharged or otherwise extended by the appropriate authority. Some laws that affect when I may be ordered to serve on active duty, the length of my service on active duty, and the length of my service in the Reserve Component, even beyond the eight years of my Military Service Obligation, are discussed in the following paragraphs.

b.I understand that I can be ordered to active duty at any time while I am a member of the DEP. In a time of war, my enlistment may be extended without my consent for the duration of the war and for six months after its end (10 U.S.C. 506, 12103(c)).

c.As a member of a Reserve Component of an Armed Force, in time of war or of national emergency declared by the Congress, I may, without my consent, be ordered to serve on active duty, for the entire period of the war or emergency and for six (6) months after its end (10 U.S.C. 12301(a)). My enlistment may be extended during this period without my consent (10 U.S.C. 12103(c)).

d.As a member of the Ready Reserve (to include Delayed Entry Program), in time of national emergency declared by the President, I may, without my consent, be ordered to serve on active duty, and my military service may be extended without my consent, for not more than 24 consecutive months (10 U.S.C. 12302). My enlistment may be extended during this period without my consent (see paragraph 10g).

e.As a member of the Ready Reserve, I may, at any time and without my consent, be ordered to active duty to complete a total of 24 months of active duty, and my enlistment may be extended so I can complete the total of 24 months of active duty, if:

(1)I am not assigned to, or participating unsatisfactorily in, a unit of the Ready Reserve; and

(2)I have not met my Reserve obligation; and

(3)I have not served on active duty for a total of 24 months (10 U.S.C. 12303).

f.As a member of the Selected Reserve or as a member of the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category, when the President determines that it is necessary to augment the active forces for any operational mission or for certain emergencies, I may, without my consent, be ordered to active duty for not more than 270 days (10 U.S.C. 12304). My enlistment may be extended during this period without my consent (see paragraph 10g).

g.During any period members of a Reserve component are serving on active duty pursuant to an order to active duty under authority of 10 U.S.C. 12301, 12302, or 12304, the President may suspend any provision of law relating to my promotion, retirement, or separation from the Armed Forces if he or his designee determines I am essential to the national security of the United States. Such an action may result in an extension, without my consent, of the length of service specified in this agreement. Such an extension is often called a "stop-loss" extension (10 U.S.C. 12305).

h.I may, without my consent, be ordered to perform additional active duty training for not more than 45 days if I have not fulfilled my military service obligation and fail in any year to perform the required training duty satisfactorily. If the failure occurs during the last year of my required membership in the Ready Reserves, my enlistment may be extended until I perform that additional duty, but not for more than six months (10 U.S.C. 10148).

11.FOR ENLISTEES/REENLISTEES IN THE NAVY, MARINE CORPS, OR COAST GUARD: I understand that if I am serving on a naval vessel in foreign waters, and my enlistment expires, I will be returned to the United States for discharge as soon as possible consistent with my desires. However, if essential to the public interest, I understand that I may be retained on active duty until the vessel returns to the United States. If I am retained under these circumstances, I understand I will be discharged not later than 30 days after my return to the United States; and, that except in time of war, I will be entitled to an increase in basic pay of 25 percent from the date my enlistment expires to the date of my discharge.

12.FOR ALL MALE APPLICANTS: Completion of this form constitutes registration with the Selective Service System in accordance with the Military Selective Service Act. Incident thereto the Department of Defense may transmit my name, permanent address, military address, Social Security Number, and birthdate to the Selective Service System for recording as evidence of the registration.
