A filled-in DA Form 3078 example: an Active Army soldier asks to replace worn uniform items

DA Form 3078 example filled out, example: an Active Army soldier asks to replace worn uniform items
Sergeant John Q. Sample, in an Active Army unit, fills in the parts of a request to replace a worn Army Combat Uniform coat and trouser that are shown here. He checks Active Army in Block 11 and Replacement in Block 12 (one box in each, as the form says). The Document Number, Voucher Number, DODAAC and Priority boxes are left blank: Block 1 is for USAR/ARNG units only, Block 2 is for local AMCS use only, and Blocks 8 and 9 are for USAR/ARNG units only. Blocks 13 and 15 show the dates and initials of the person who did the inventory and posted it. This example leaves the quantity out. Block 19 says the requester will enter quantity of required item, and the form does not say in which column; it also says the issue column will be used by AMCSS. A real request needs the quantities. The unit price, total cost and total value boxes are left blank because the form gives them to AMCS. The two signature boxes are digital signatures and are left for the unit commander (or the commissioned or warrant officer representative) and for the recipient at the AMCS. Every name, number, date and phone number in the example is made up. Open the picture to see it full size.
