FORMS MANAGEMENT Tactical Combat Casualty …

1 FORMS MANAGEMENT . Tactical Combat Casualty care (TCCC) Card DD form 1380 (May 2014). 1. PURPOSE. The Tactical Combat Casualty care (TCCC) Card (aka, DD form 1380) is used to capture critical data necessary to ensure continuity of care from point of injury (POI) to subsequent levels of medical care . The TCCC Card is the primary method to document the medical care provided to a Casualty at the POI. DD form 1380 is used by medical and non-medical first responders, and is a component of every individual first aid kit (IFAK). The purpose of this paper is to: (a) review the policies pertaining to procurement of DD FORMS , (b) identify all DoD Component FORMS MANAGEMENT Program websites, and (c) recommend an optimal procurement path for acquiring DD form 1380.

2 2. BACKGROUND. DoDI provides policy for managing, administering, and implementing the DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT Program, while DOD implements policy and provides specific procedures for MANAGEMENT of the DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT Program. Printing, stocking, and distributing FORMS is expensive and must be considered when analyzing FORMS requirements. Electronic FORMS should be used as much as possible; however, if printing is required, DoD Component FORMS MANAGEMENT Officers (FMOs) should consult with their printing procurement and distribution specialists to determine printing specifications and the most cost-effective solution to meet user needs.

3 Only the DoD Component OPR may request to create, revise, or cancel a DD form through its Component FMO to the DoD FMO. Once the DoD FMO has approved, revised, or canceled a DD form , the using Component FMOs are notified. The Component FMOs will then notify their Component users of all new, revised, or cancelled DD FORMS , as well as their availability. The DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT Program web site provides current information regarding DD FORMS ( ). 3. DISCUSSION. DD Component FMOs are responsible for printing and distributing the paper-based DD FORMS ( , DD form 1380) used by their Components. The FMOs also provide information to their Component users about specific procedures for distributing FORMS .

4 DoD, federal agencies, and authorized contractors may establish accounts and obtain DD FORMS from the major DoD Component printing and distribution offices. There are four DoD Component FORMS MANAGEMENT Program websites, all of which are linked to the DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT Program site. a. Army Publishing Directorate (APD; ). APD serves as the Army's central publications and FMO. Non-Army government customers are required to create an account using a valid UIC (Navy) or DOD Activity Address Code (DODAAC) before placing orders on the website. Through DLA Document Services, APD provides printing services for customers to produce publications and FORMS .

5 To request a print job from APD, HQDA agencies are required to submit a completed DA 260 or a DD 282 (DOD Printing Requisition/Order). Army customers outside of HQDA need to submit a DD 1144 (Support Agreement) for all printing procurements within the fiscal year, in addition to DA 260 or DD 282 for each individual print job. Non-HQDA customers must contact the OAA Resource Operations Center (ROC) for the Work Breakdown Structure information for acquiring funding. The ROC will notify APD when it receives the funds for printing. A printing specialist will review specifications from the customer, begin the procurement process, and notify the customer of the actual estimated cost.

6 The printing specialist also monitors the printing job to ensure it is completed within cost and delivered to the customer. For additional information, see: b. Naval FORMS Online ( ). The Navy has established DLA Document Services as the single provider of office document devices enterprise-wide. Government or authorized government contract customers are required to create an account using Capt Diaz / DHA MEDLOG / / 301 619 4098 / 04 Jun14 Page 1 of 3 a valid UIC or DODAAC before they can place orders through the web access. Government customers have the option to pay for their purchases using either fund code or Government Purchase Card (GPC).

7 FORMS are either available as a digital online file or as a warehouse item. Naval FORMS Online considers DD form 1380 as a warehouse item and can be procured by each Service using a fund code or GPC. c) Air Force e-Publishing Warehouse MANAGEMENT System. Warehouse MANAGEMENT System (WMS). is a web-based application that manages and tracks orders for publications, FORMS and other products for the Air Force Departments Publishing Office (AFDPO) and their customers. Users can shop online, place orders in a shopping cart, and manage accounts similar to a commercial online bookstores. Anyone in the Air Force with a Common Access Card (CAC) can enter the WMS website and establish a general account.

8 General account holders can search for products, download electronic product, and place orders for many unclassified physical products automatically. DD 1380 is considered Unclassified in WMS. When a user orders a physical product ( , DD form 1380), they are prompted to update the account to ensure accuracy of the shipping address. WMS has a special feature not available in other FORMS MANAGEMENT Program Web Sites which is the ability of users to create a subscription. A subscription allows the user to request an email notification when a change to a particular product occurs. In addition, users have the ability to place orders for shipments of their products delivered to more than one address and/or to people who do not have access to WMS via the Distribution List feature of the website.

9 WMS provides products to their Air Force customers at no charge. It is unknown if WMS will charge users from other Services with an established WMS account. WMS is located at d) Document Services Online ( ). DLA Document Services serves as the single manager for printing and high-speed, high-volume duplicating, and is the preferred provider of DoD document conversion and/or automation services (DoDI , DLA Document Services). Document Services Online (DSO) is a web-based ordering system that helps the DoD manage printing and distribution of high-volume FORMS and documents. Anyone with a CAC can register and order through DSO.

10 A UIC or DODAAC is required to establish an account. Other than controlled document items, almost anything can be created, ordered, and printed through DSO. Unfortunately, DSO considers DD form 1380 a controlled document;. therefore, DSO cannot be used by Services to order DD form 1380. 4. RECOMMENDATION. DOD states that if FORMS are available from the official DoD. FORMS MANAGEMENT Program Website and a DoD Component requires print copies, Component users should contact the DoD Component FMO regarding procedures to establish a physical product. To establish a single DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT system for DD form 1380, one DoD FORMS MANAGEMENT Program website must be selected to print and stock the form for all the Services to use.
