The DD Form 836 serves as the required shipping declaration for hazardous materials transported aboard government vehicles and conveyances. As mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and applicable DoD regulations, this form must accompany every shipment of dangerous goods by military transport.
The form captures four main categories of information. The identification section records the vehicle or container details, TCN (Transportation Control Number), consignee name, and date of preparation. The cargo section documents the proper shipping name, UN hazard class, subsidiary hazard, packing group, and net quantity. The emergency response section includes the 24-hour emergency telephone number and references to emergency response guides. The certification section requires signatures from both the shipper certifier and the vehicle operator, confirming compliance with all applicable regulations.
Personnel responsible for preparing this form should also be familiar with the Dangerous Goods Check Sheet used to verify shipment compliance, and the HAZMAT Employee Training Record required for authorized handlers. For other forms in the DD series, see our DD Form 827 and DD Form 844 pages.
