Permissive Authorization for Search is filed on which DD 5580 form?

• A. DD 5580/11
• B. DD 5580/12
• C. DD 5580/16
• D. DD 5580/19

Answer: (C)

Permissive Authorization for Search must be documented on the specific DoD form designated for that purpose, so the form used is DD Form 5580/16. This version is the one assigned for Permissive Authorization for Search, making it the correct choice within NSNSD patrol practice. The other DD 5580 variants exist for different types of authorizations or actions and would not be appropriate for recording a permissive search. Using the correct form standardizes who authorizes the search, what is allowed to be searched, and the time frame, and it keeps the record clear and auditable. When completing this form, you outline the scope, the subject, the permitted actions, the location, the duration, and the responsible authorities’ signatures, all on the designated DD 5580/16.
