What is the purpose of the DA Form 1380?
The DA Form 1380 is used to record the individual performance of Reserve duty training for Army Reserve members. It helps document training activities, including hours worked and types of duties performed, ensuring that service members receive appropriate credit for their efforts.
Who is responsible for preparing the DA Form 1380?
Preparation of the DA Form 1380 varies depending on the context. The chief of the proponent agency prepares it for training projects with prior approval from the Army Human Resources Command (AHRC). A designated military representative handles it for attendance at professional meetings, while commanding officers prepare it for training in attached statuses or with other services.
When should the DA Form 1380 be completed?
The form should be completed by the last day of each duty month. This ensures timely submission to the appropriate pay channels or AHRC for non-paid inactive duty training, as outlined in Army Regulation 140-185.
What information is required on the DA Form 1380?
Key information includes the soldier's name, grade, branch, assigned organization, and details about the duties performed. Specific dates, hours worked, and the nature of the training or instruction must also be recorded. Additionally, the officer verifying the duty must provide their name and signature.
How are retirement points calculated on the DA Form 1380?
Retirement points are calculated based on the type of duty performed. Each period is assigned a Paid (P) or Non-Paid (N) code, followed by the correlating retirement points. For example, "P-1" represents a four-hour paid period, while "N-1" indicates a two-hour non-paid period. Special exceptions apply for funeral honors and preauthorized conferences.
What happens after the DA Form 1380 is submitted?
Once validated by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) for paid duties or AHRC for non-paid duties, the retirement points are awarded. Units must then annotate this validation on the form and ensure it is filed according to Army regulations.
Is there a specific format for entering dates on the DA Form 1380?
Yes, dates must be entered in the format of day, month, and year. This format ensures clarity and consistency when recording duty days for the month.
Can the DA Form 1380 be used for training outside the regular duty schedule?
Absolutely. The form is specifically designed to document Reserve training that occurs outside of the normal Inactive Duty Training (IDT) battle assembly. It can also be used for equivalent or appropriate duties performed by soldiers in various capacities.
What should be done if there are multiple periods of duty to report?
If there are multiple periods of duty or training, it is essential to list each period separately on the form. This includes specifying the location, nature of the duties, and the training or instruction for each duty day.
Where should the completed DA Form 1380 be submitted?
The completed form should be submitted to the appropriate pay channel or to the Army Human Resources Command (AHRC) for non-paid inactive duty training. It is crucial to ensure that submissions are made by the last day of each duty month to avoid delays in processing.
