How to Fill Out the Magazine Data Card?

The Magazine Data Card is usually filled out by the checker responsible for handling the ammo in the storage unit. DA Form 3020-R is time-sensitive: the checker has 20 minutes to fill the form out.

The MDC is filled out digitally or handprinted and attached to every lot of ammunition in the storage area. The information in the form should be accurate and legible. The form requires DoD identification codes, lot numbers, the location, description, quantity, and purpose of the items stored. This data must comply with other documents accompanying the listed ammunition. Their identification numbers should be provided in the Magazine Data Card as well. The accuracy of the MCD record is checked by the person in charge of the form.
