DA Form 1613. Records Cross Reference

DA Form 1613 is a form used to create a records cross reference. This form consists of fields to record the originator, the date of preparation, the name of the file being cross-referenced, the file number, and the title of the cross-reference document. It is important to accurately fill out this form to ensure proper documentation and easy retrieval of important records.

Application Example: This form is commonly used when there is a need to reference another document within a filing system. For example, if a document is stored in one file but is also relevant to another file, the DA Form 1613 can be used to create a cross-reference between the two files, making it easier to locate the document when needed.

Related Form: An alternative form that can be used for records cross-referencing is the SF 135, Records Transmittal and Receipt. The SF 135 is primarily used for the physical transfer of records, while the DA Form 1613 focuses specifically on creating cross-references within a filing system.
