Who receives the DD-1225 from the storage activity?

The DD-1225 form, known as the "Shelf-Life Item Management" form, is critical in the Shelf-Life Program as it documents the information regarding items that have a specified shelf life. The form is sent to the owner of the items to ensure that they are aware of the status and remaining usable life of the materials they are responsible for. This is important for proper inventory management and ensuring that items are utilized effectively before they expire.

By receiving the DD-1225, the owner can take necessary actions regarding the management or utilization of the shelf-life items, thereby applying proper oversight over the items that they possess. This aligns with the objectives of maintaining accountability and ensuring readiness within the Department of Defense's logistics operations. Understanding this responsibility reinforces the importance of communication in supply chain management and the role of the owner in overseeing shelf-life items.
