DA Form 1756. Chaplains` Fund Purchase Order and Receiving Record

The DA Form 1756 is used by chaplains to request and record purchases made using the Chaplains' Fund. This form serves as both a purchase order and a receiving record. It consists of several parts, including the chaplain's information, details of the items being purchased, and a section for recording the receipt of the items.

When filling out the form, it is important for the chaplain to provide accurate and complete information about the items being purchased. This includes details such as the item description, quantity, unit price, and total cost. Additionally, the chaplain should carefully document the receipt of the items by indicating the date received and any discrepancies or damages.

An example application of this form would be when a chaplain needs to purchase religious materials or supplies for their unit. By submitting a DA Form 1756, they can request the necessary items and ensure proper accountability and record-keeping.

An alternative form to consider is the DA Form 3953, which is the Purchase Request and Commitment. While both forms serve similar purposes, the DA Form 1756 is specifically designed for chaplains' fund purchases and includes additional fields for religious-specific items.
