DA Form 1974. Laundry List (Medical Treatment Facility and Organization)

The DA Form 1974 is used in medical treatment facilities and organizations to keep track of laundry items that need cleaning or repair. It consists of a list of items, including clothing, linens, and other fabric-based materials, that require attention.

Important fields to consider when filling out this form include accurately describing the items, noting any damages or repairs needed, and providing clear instructions for cleaning or fixing the items.

An application example of this form would be in a military hospital, where there is a constant need for clean and functional clothing and linens for patients and staff. This form helps in ensuring that laundry items are properly maintained and replaced when necessary.

An alternative form to DA Form 1974 could be a digital inventory system that tracks laundry items electronically. However, the physical form provides a tangible record that can be easily accessed and updated, even in situations where electronic systems may not be available.
