Which form is used to document an Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract?

• A. DD Form 4
• B. NAVCRUIT 1132/52
• C. DD Form 2807
• D. SF 86

Answer: (A)

Enlistment contracts are formal, binding agreements between the service member and the military, so the document that records the terms and creates the obligation is the Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract documented on the DD Form 4. This form captures the recruit’s chosen term of service, occupational specialty, duty status, pay grade, and other contractual details, and it is signed by the recruit and a recruiter (with witnesses as required). The DD Form 4 is the standard contract form used across the services for enlisting or reenlisting. Other forms in the list serve different purposes: a medical history form is for health screening and eligibility; a background-investigation form is for security checks; Navy-specific recruiter forms are used in processing, but the binding contract itself is the DD Form 4. Therefore, the form used to document an Enlistment/Reenlistment Contract is DD Form 4.
