DA Form 1306. Statement of Jump and Loading Manifest
The DA Form 1306 is used for documenting and keeping a record of jump and loading information in the Army. It is primarily used by jumpmasters and aircraft loadmasters to keep track of personnel and equipment being loaded onto an aircraft for airborne operations.
The form consists of several parts, including the aircraft serial number, the jumpmaster's name, passenger and equipment information, and a section for remarks or special instructions. It also includes sections for recording the number of jumps and the type of aircraft used.
When filling out the DA Form 1306, it is important to accurately record all necessary information to ensure that the correct personnel and equipment are accounted for during airborne operations. Any additional remarks or special instructions should also be clearly noted for the safety and effectiveness of the mission.
An example of an application for the DA Form 1306 would be a unit conducting a parachute jump exercise. The form would be used to document the number of personnel jumping, the equipment being loaded onto the aircraft, and any specific instructions for the jumpmasters and loadmasters.
An alternative form that may be used in place of the DA Form 1306 is the Department of Defense Form 214 (DD Form 214) - Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. While this form is primarily used for documenting a service member's separation from the military, it can also contain information about parachute jumps and other related qualifications.
