Which form delegates authority to request and receive supplies?

• A. DA 1687
• B. DA 2062
• C. DD 1750
• D. DD 1149

Answer: (A)

Delegating who can order and take possession of government supplies is done through a formal authorization that names the person authorized to act for the unit. The form used for this specific delegation is DA Form 1687, Authorization to Issue/Release Property. It designates an individual as the authorized representative, permitting them to place issue requests and receive items from the supply system while keeping the unit’s property accountable. This ensures there’s a clear point of accountability for each item issued. Other forms serve different purposes. For example, a hand receipt (DA 2062) lists property assigned to a person or position but does not grant the authority to request and receive supplies itself. The remaining forms are used for requisition and shipping or for aviation-related documentation, which are not about delegating issue/receiving authority in the supply chain.
