DA Form 7666 (Parental Consent) is used for which purpose?

• A. Parental Consent
• B. Power of Attorney
• C. DEERS enrollment
• D. Allotment changes

Answer: (A)

DA Form 7666 is the official document used to secure and record a parent’s or legal guardian’s consent for a dependent minor in situations governed by Army policy. The name itself points to its purpose: it formalizes parental consent so that the Army and the involved institution have written authorization before proceeding. It is not the instrument for granting general legal authority (that would be a Power of Attorney), nor is it the process for enrolling a dependent in DEERS or for making payroll-related changes like allotments, which use other forms and procedures. When parental consent is required, this form provides a formal, official record of that approval.
