Transfers of CANA should be recorded on what form?

• A. SF 558
• B. DD 1149
• C. DA Form 2813
• D. DD 2501

Answer: (B)

Transfers of CANA require a formal transfer document that travels with the item and creates a custody trail. The DD Form 1149, Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document, is used to move DoD property and records between activities, capturing what’s being sent, from where to where, the date, and sign-off by both the sending and receiving offices. This provides accountability and a clear record of the handoff, which is essential for medical records and related transfers.

SF 558 covers treatment and emergency care documentation during care or transport, not inter-activity transfers. DA Form 2813 and DD Form 2501 pertain to release or authorization of information, not the actual transfer of CANA between activities.
