6. There are several
options for completing the form, none of the preferred options
require an HR Professionals be present, but all require an HR
Professional to review the form. However, in all cases, where the
Soldier has questions, an HR Professional should be consulted prior
to signing the DD Form 93. Commanders may implement internal
initiatives to meet this requirement or direct Soldiers to use one
of the options below:
Option 1. To use AKO MyForms, go to the
following URL: https://myforms.us.army.mil/wps/myportal. Once
the page has loaded, enter DD 93 into the "Form Number" box. When
the results screen appear, click "Record of Emergency Data."
Complete the form, digitally sign it and route it to the HR
Professional using the routing/tracking feature in AKO MyForms
(contact your servicing S1/HR Professional for the appropriate
POC). The HR Professional will review the form, execute the spousal
notification if necessary, and forward the completed DD Form 93 to
the Soldier's iPERM record (No witness is required for forms that
are digitally signed). (If you have questions or concerns on the
new changes or other questions relating to your benefits, schedule
an appointment with your HR Professional before digitally signing
the form.)
Option 2. Go directly to the form included on
the OSD web site, go to the following URL: http://www.cpms.osd.mil/disasters/docs/DDForm93.pdf.
The form can also be found on the U.S. Army's publication site
www.usapa.army.mil. This version of the form allows the Soldier to
fill out the form and digitally sign, it does not allow the Soldier
to forward it directly to the HR Professional. After completing the
form and digitally signing, the Soldier should print out the form
and take it to the HR Professional. The HR Professional will review
the form, execute the spousal notification if necessary, and
forward the completed DD Form 93 to the Soldier's iPERM record (No
witness is required for forms that are digitally signed). (If you
have questions or concerns on the new changes or other questions
relating to your benefits, schedule an appointment with your HR
Professional before digitally signing the form.)
Option 3. When a Soldier uses a non-CAC (common
access card or ID card as it is commonly known) enabled computer,
once the form is complete, print the completed form, sign the
completed form in front of a witness who also signs the form as the
witness. Provide a copy to the unit's HR Professional for review.
The HR Professional will review the form, execute the spousal
notification if necessary, and forward the completed DD Form 93 to
the Soldier's iPERM record (No witness is required for forms that
are digitally signed). (If you have questions or concerns on the
new changes or other questions relating to your benefits, schedule
an appointment with your HR Professional before digitally signing
the form.)
Option 4. Commanders/HR Leaders who have
Soldiers in locations that lack computer support or who are
otherwise unable to complete a new DD Form 93 on a computer may
complete the form in hardcopy using pen and ink when METT-T
conditions permit. In these instances, Soldiers must sign the
completed form in front of a witness, who then signs the form as
the witness. A copy is provided to the units HR Professional for
review. The HR Professional will review the form for accuracy,
execute the spousal notification if necessary, and forward the
completed DD Form 93 to the Soldier's iPERM record when METT-T
conditions permit. (If you have questions or concerns on the new
changes or other questions relating to your benefits, see your HR
Professional before signing the form.)
