How often must the DA Form 4513 be completed and turned in?

• A. Every 8 hours
• B. End of firing cycle
• C. Every 24 hours or at the end of the firing day
• D. Weekly

Answer: (C)

Prompt daily recording for ammunition accountability and range safety. DA Form 4513 is used to log the day’s firing activity, so it must be completed once per day, by the end of the firing day, to ensure the day’s data is captured while it’s fresh. Filling it out every 8 hours adds unnecessary duplication, and waiting until a weekly or cycle-wide point would leave gaps in accountability and safety records. Completing it by the end of the firing day provides a timely, complete record of that day’s events and ammunition usage.
