Which forms are required to complete a Family Care Plan?

The correct forms required to complete a Family Care Plan are DA Form 5841 and a letter of instruction. DA Form 5841 is specifically designed for documenting the responsibilities and arrangements made for the care of a service member's family members during their absence, which is a critical aspect of the Family Care Plan. The letter of instruction complements this by providing clear guidance on how the care is to be administered, ensuring that all parties involved understand their roles and responsibilities.

This combination effectively outlines the service member’s family care procedures and assures that adequate arrangements have been made in accordance with Army regulations. The clear delineation of both the responsibilities (through DA Form 5841) and the operation (through the letter of instruction) creates a reliable framework necessary for safeguarding the welfare of service members' dependents.
