What Is DA Form 7666?

DA Form 7666, Parental Consent , is a form used to obtain the agreement of both parents on the custodial arrangements expressed on their Family Care Plan. The form is a necessary part of the Family Care Plan paperwork and allows a partner or other individual to act as temporary guardian of any dependents while the service member is performing their military duties.

The newest version of the form - often incorrectly referred to as DD Form 7666 - was released by the U.S. Department of the Army (DA) on September 1, 2009 . An up-to-date DA Form 7666 fillable version is available for digital filing and download below or can be supplied through the APD Forms website.

The Family Care Plan - or FCP - is a tool used for designating a guardian that takes care of a service member's dependent child or children while they are away. The FCP is applicable only to single soldiers with kids, dual military members, and parents with a separation agreement, not for soldiers married to civilians or soldiers without kids.
