DA Form 4787 Reassignment Processing
What Is DA Form 4787?
DA Form 4787, Reassignment Processing , is a form used for gathering the personal information of a soldier who had received reassignment instructions. DA Form 4787 is used if the soldier is assigned to an overseas area. The information about family members - if any - must be provided on separate documents and attached to the form.
The new version of the form - sometimes incorrectly referred to as DD Form 4787 - was released by the U.S. Department of the Army (DA) on March 1, 2007 , with all previous editions obsolete. An up-to-date DA Form 4787 fillable version is available for digital filing and download below or can be found through the Army Publishing Directorate website.
