DD Form 3010. Road Reconnaissance Report

DD Form 3010, or the Road Reconnaissance Report, is a form used by the Department of Defense (DoD) to record information related to military road reconnaissance missions. The form is used to document road condition information and potential maintenance and repair needs.

The main purpose of the form is to collect detailed information about the condition of roads in the areas visited by the reconnaissance team and identify any potential maintenance and repair needs. The form consists of several parts, including an area for recording recon date and coordinates and a section for recording road condition information. Important fields on the form include the road number, location, and conditions of surface, shoulders, and ditches.

When filling out the form, it is important to provide accurate and complete information. Additionally, all necessary personnel should be consulted and any additional information, such as photographs, should be included if available.

Examples of when the form would be used include when a military unit is performing a road reconnaissance mission, when a report of a potential road hazard or repair need is submitted, or when road maintenance and repair is being performed. By collecting detailed information on road conditions, the form helps to ensure that any maintenance and repair needs are identified and addressed.

Strengths of the form include its ability to provide detailed road condition information and identify potential repair needs. Weaknesses may include the potential for incomplete or inaccurate information if the form is not properly filled out.

Alternative forms or analogues may include forms used by other organizations or agencies which collect road condition information. The main difference between these forms and the DD Form 3010 is the specific purpose of the latter, which is to document road condition information and potential maintenance and repair needs.

Submitting the form typically involves providing it to the appropriate personnel in person or submitting it electronically. The form is stored in the service member's electronic military record and may be accessed as needed for administrative purposes.
