What form does the sponsor fill out?

• A. DA form 5434
• B. DA form 4187
• C. DA form 2062
• D. DA form 4856

Answer: (A)

In sponsorship, the sponsor is the designated helper who guides a new Soldier through the transition, and there needs to be an official way to capture who the sponsor is and how to contact them. The form used for this purpose is the Sponsor Information form, known as DA Form 5434. It records the sponsor’s details, installation, unit, and how to reach them, enabling the sponsorship process to be organized and tracked from the outset. The other forms are used for different administrative tasks—one handles personnel actions, another serves as a counseling record, and the remaining form covers unrelated medical or administrative documentation—so they aren’t used to document sponsor information.
