Desk Journal is filed on which DD 5580 form?

• A. DD 5580/11
• B. DD 5580/12
• C. DD 5580/19
• D. DD 5580/22

Answer: (C)

Desk Journal entries are kept on a specific DD Form 5580 variant that is designated for that log type. The number after the slash identifies the exact form used for the Desk Journal, and the correct variant is the one labeled with 19. So, you file the Desk Journal on DD 5580/19. This ensures the record is organized consistently with other similar logs, since other variants (11, 12, 22, in this family) are meant for different kinds of records and not the Desk Journal. When you fill it out, include the date, time, a concise description of the event or note, any actions taken or planned, and the entry maker’s signature.
