Hand Receipt/Annex Number

The hand receipt that moves accountability for property from one person to another, and the component annex that lists what comes with an end item.

The hand receipt chain and the DA 2062

Property moves from the property book officer to the commander to the sub-hand receipt holder to the user, and a DA 2062 records every step of that chain.

What is a hand receipt and what form is used?

A hand receipt is a document that transfers direct responsibility for property from one person to another and records who physically holds it. DA Form 2062, Hand Receipt or Annex Number, is the form. Signing it means you are accountable for that property and for its condition.

What is the difference between a hand receipt and a sub-hand receipt?

The primary hand receipt holder signs for property directly from the property book officer. A sub-hand receipt is the further issue of that property from the primary hand receipt holder down to a subordinate leader or user. Both use DA Form 2062. Sub-hand receipting pushes direct responsibility down to the person who actually has the item; it does not remove the primary hand receipt holder's responsibility.

What is the difference between expendable, durable, and nonexpendable property?

Expendable property is consumed in use and is not accounted for after it is issued, such as cleaning supplies and batteries. Durable property is not consumed in use and does not go on the property book, but it does require hand receipt control, such as hand tools. Nonexpendable property retains its identity, requires formal property book accountability, and is hand receipted down to the user, such as weapons, vehicles, and radios.

Which inventories does AR 710-2 require of a unit?

A joint inventory when the primary hand receipt holder changes, which is a one hundred percent inventory conducted by the incoming and outgoing holders together. A cyclic or annual inventory of property book items. A recurring inventory of sensitive items. Weapons and ammunition are inventoried under AR 190-11, which is more demanding, and commanders routinely direct more frequent counts than the minimum.

Who is responsible for the Command Supply Discipline Program in a company?

The commander. The supply sergeant runs the day to day supply operation and maintains the records, but the CSDP is a command program and the commander owns it. First line leaders enforce it by conducting the inventories and sub-hand receipt checks they are required to conduct.
