Which form is explicitly included in the 10-year retention for group 3 documentation?

• A. DD Form 200
• B. SF 1080
• C. DD Form 250
• D. SF 1404

Answer: (A)

In group 3 documentation, the 10-year retention applies to records that establish financial liability for loss or damage to DoD property and document the outcome of formal investigations. DD Form 200 is the Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss, which captures the liability determination and monetary loss. Because it records liability results and could be needed for audits, financial accountability, or potential claims, it is explicitly included in the 10-year retention window for group 3 documents. The other forms are tied to different processes (such as shipments/receiving, property transfers, or other administrative actions) and do not fall under this 10-year group 3 retention.
