What document is commonly known as a 'weapons card'?

• A. DA Form 3749
• B. SF 600
• C. DD Form 1610
• D. DA Form 2062

Answer: (A)

A weapons card is a compact, quick-reference record that stays with the weapon to show essential identifiers and its current status so you can verify what you have and what needs attention without digging through a full file. DA Form 3749 is the document commonly used for this purpose in many units, serving as a lightweight card you can carry or attach to the weapon issue packet. This format makes it easy to confirm the weapon’s identity and readiness during inspections, drills, or operations. Other forms have different tasks: one is a medical record used to track care, another is used to request medical evacuation, and another supports broader property accountability with hand receipts. Those doesn’t serve as the quick-reference weapon card the way DA Form 3749 does, which is why that form is associated with the “weapons card” concept.
