DA Form 5305, Family Care Plan , is a form for military members unable to provide care for their families and seeking assistance and substitution while they are on active duty.
The latest edition of the form - previously known as DA Form 5305-R and often incorrectly referred to as DD Form 5305 - was released by the U.S. Department of the Army (DA) on June 1, 2010 .
