Which form number represents a chain-of-custody form?

• A. DD 1911
• B. DD 2920
• C. DA Form 1687
• D. SF 558

Answer: (A)

Chain-of-custody documentation tracks every handoff of an item from collection to final disposition, recording item ID, dates, locations, and signatures to prove integrity and accountability. The form used for this purpose is DD 1911, a DoD document designed to capture custody events and the people who handle the item at each step. This creates an unbroken record that supports investigative and legal credibility. The other forms in the list serve different administrative functions (such as property receipts or incident or medical documentation) and do not provide the specialized custody-tracking fields needed to establish a clear chain of custody.
