Frequently asked questions

Who approves a DA Form 4651 request?

It depends on the action. Requests route through the losing and gaining units and are approved at the level AR 140-10 assigns for that type of assignment or attachment, often the Readiness Division or HRC for IRR actions.

Does an approved DA 4651 produce orders?

Yes. If the request is approved, the appropriate personnel office publishes assignment or attachment orders. The form itself is the request, not the order.
