The form covers a wide array of data points, including personal details about the servicemember, such as name, rank, and command, alongside information on how their potential substance use issue came to attention—be it through self-referral, command referral, or an incident.

The form further delves into the servicemember's duty status, marital status, educational background, disciplinary history, and performance evaluations, providing a holistic view for DAPAs, commanding officers, and medical treatment facility (MTF) staff. This detailed approach ensures that all necessary information is gathered to assist in determining the need for, and type of, intervention or treatment, crucial for the servicemember’s health and career.
