Frequently asked questions
Who pays for replacement clothing on DA Form 3078?
It depends on the reason for replacement. Items lost or damaged through no fault of the soldier are handled differently from fair wear and tear or soldier-caused loss. AR 700-84 and your supply office determine whether the issue is gratuitous or paid.
Is DA Form 3078 the same as a CIF hand receipt?
No. Organizational clothing and individual equipment (OCIE) from the central issue facility is receipted separately. DA Form 3078 covers personal clothing, the uniform items that belong to the soldier.
