Which document must be attached to all accompanied baggage?

• A. DD Form 3981
• B. DD Form 2239
• C. AF Form 3899
• D. DD Form 600

Answer: (D)

Attaching a medical record to all accompanied baggage ensures continuity of care and accountability during transport. The Chronological Record of Medical Care (DD Form 600) is designed to travel with the patient, documenting medical history, treatments given, medications, allergies, and significant events. By keeping this form with the baggage, the receiving medical team can quickly review the patient’s status and continue appropriate care without delay. The other forms serve unrelated administrative functions and do not provide the standardized clinical history needed for in-transit care.
