What is DD Form 2701?

• A. Court-Martial Information for Victims & Witnesses of Crime
• B. Initial Information for Victims & Witnesses of Crime
• C. Post-Trial Information for Victims & Witnesses of Crime
• D. Elections Concerning Inmate Status

Answer: (B)

DD Form 2701 is the initial information form provided to victims and witnesses of a crime in DoD proceedings. It is used at the outset of a case to tell them what to expect, what rights they have, and what resources are available, including how to contact the appropriate victim-witness liaison and support services. The title on the form—Initial Information for Victims & Witnesses of Crime—matches its purpose and timing, making this the best choice. It isn’t about information after a trial or about inmate-status elections, and it isn’t a general court-martial information document meant for later stages.
