DA Form 1323. Funding Authorization Document

The DA Form 1323 is used to authorize and document funding for various Army programs and activities. It is primarily used by budget officers and program managers to request and approve funding for specific projects, acquisitions, or operations.

The form consists of several sections, including the requesting office information, a justification for the funding request, a breakdown of the estimated costs, and the approving authority information. It also includes sections for tracking funds already obligated and any additional remarks or notes.

When filling out the DA Form 1323, it is important to provide accurate and detailed information about the proposed project or activity, as well as a clear justification for the requested funding. The estimated costs should be carefully calculated and supported by relevant documentation to ensure transparency and accountability.

An example of an application for the DA Form 1323 would be a unit requesting funding for a training exercise. The form would be used to outline the estimated costs for personnel, equipment, and support services, as well as provide a justification for the training and its expected outcomes.

An alternative form that may be used in place of the DA Form 1323 is the Standard Form 1443 (SF 1443) - Contractor's Request for Progress Payment. This form is primarily used for billing and requesting payments for contractors working on government-funded projects.
