EQUIPMENT DATA. Administrative number, equipment model number, equipment noun, equipment NSN, equipment serial number,
registration number, equipment license number, and key number are retrieved automatically from equipment data file; no entries are
required from the operator.
DISPATCH INFORMATION. Some information in this section is retrieved automatically from the ULLS database based upon user
input; Operator/supervisor reviews this section and takes appropriate actions as required by filling in the fields below.
OFFICIAL USER NAME/PHONE NUM. The operator requesting the dispatch provides the last name, first name, middle initial, rank/
grade, and telephone number to the dispatcher. Dispatcher enters the name of the person to whom the operator is to report (official
user). This person is responsible for the equipment when in use.
DESTINATION. The dispatcher enters the location of dispatch area into the ULLS system.
EXPECTED DATE/TIME OF RETURN. Dispatcher enters close of business or the actual time the user expects to return with the
equipment. The operator ensures the dispatcher reviews the expected date/time of return. If equipment cannot be returned because of
mission, operator will notify the official user, who requests an extended dispatch.
EQUIP DISPATCHER’S SIGNATURE. The dispatcher signs his/her name.
1ST OPERATOR’S SIGNATURE. The operator signs his/her name. If operators are changed while the vehicle is dispatched, annotate
the hours/miles/kilometers on the equipment to the right of the operators signature.

happens when an operator becomes sick or overly tired (for example, during convoy operations). The operator signs his/her name.

representative signs and enters rank for off post travel. For second or third operator authorization: When in a situation of change

or modification.

where the mission was competed, releasing the equipment to the maintenance facility or place of origin. The person normally signing
the RELEASED BY block may be different from the person shown in the OFFICIAL USER block when the person designated in the
OFFICIAL USER is not available. The person in charge and responsible for the safety and operation of the equipment and operator
signs in that case.
