2-4. DD Form 1544, Continued
The installation or the consolidated headquarters control officer issues the
Issue
individual DD Form 1544 sheets in sheet-number sequence to the FOS or to a
designated representative. The issues are recorded on the cash meal payment
sheet register that is included with the DD Form 1544 book. The cover of the
cash meal payment book provides the requirements and the procedures for
completing this form.
The issuing activity may issue DD Form 1544 sheets to the headcounter for use
outside the installation dining facility. When this occurs, the FOS uses DA Form
3546-R (Control Record for Dining Facility--DD Form 1544) to record the issue.
The procedure for close-out is as follows:
