Which form documents a voluntary statement?

• A. DD 5580/2
• B. DD 5580/4
• C. DD 5580/1
• D. DD 5580/9

Answer: (A)

A voluntary statement is information given by someone of their own free will, not under formal interrogation or coercion. The form designed to capture that kind of account is the DD Form 5580/2. It provides space to record the person’s own words, along with identifying details and the date, and is typically signed to acknowledge that the statement was voluntary and recorded accurately. Other forms in the same family serve different purposes—such as formal interviews or sworn statements—so they aren’t the right choice for documenting a voluntary statement.
