The DA Form 1380 serves a crucial role in documenting the performance of Reserve Duty Training for soldiers in the Army Reserve. This form is essential for tracking various training activities outside the regular Inactive Duty Training (IDT) battle assembly. It includes vital information such as the soldier's name, grade, and branch, as well as details about the specific duties performed, training hours, and locations. The form must be completed and submitted by the last day of each duty month to ensure accurate record-keeping and retirement points. It is prepared by designated officers or representatives based on the type of training conducted, whether it involves participation in training projects, attendance at conventions, or other authorized duties. Each section of the form requires careful attention, particularly the authorization citation and the specific hours worked, as these details directly impact the soldier's pay and retirement benefits. Additionally, proper submission of the DA Form 1380 to the appropriate records manager is crucial for maintaining accurate personnel records within the Army Human Resources Command system.
