★ MAKING LOCATION SITE FORMS
As storage supervisor, you must be able to show your soldiers how to make location placards for new bulk supplies and how to replace location placards that are missing at the location site. You must also be able to show them how to make loose-issue labels for new bin supplies or make labels to replace those missing from storage bins. Loose-issue labels are sometimes called bin tags or bin labels. Use DA Form 3779 (Location Placard) and DA Form 3778 (Loose Issue Label) to make these location markers. Make out the location form when you receive the item. Take it with the item when you put it into storage. This will help you avoid making more than one trip to anew location. Figure 6-15 shows how to fill out DA Forms 3778 and 3779 using data from the receipt document. To com- plete these location markers copy the item’s stock number, condition code, expiration date, and UI from the receipt document or the item container. Use AR 708-1 or the AMDF to find the correct SEC and the shelf-life code. Write U in the block for the physical security classification and Q in the block for the shelf- life code if none apply. Copy the stock location code from the location site. Give the completed location placard or loose-issue label to storage personnel to place at the location. You may also work with other location forms. A label and some of the forms and the ways they are used are listed below. See TM 743-200-1 for details on their use.
