A change to AR 606-- 5 (ID cards, tags, and badges), which should reach the field by the end of February or early March, includes new instruc- tions. . . A March 1979 government accounting office report criticized DOD and the military services for weak cohtrol of dependents ID cards. While the Navy and Air Force required legal documentation, the Army did nqt for its senior officers and senior Noncommissioned officers. DOD changed the rules to require proof of dependency from all soldiers, regardless of rank. Among the documents which may be required are birth and marriage certificates, divorce decress, adoption papers, retirement orders and veterans administration letters indicating a service-connecte- d medical disability. Widows and wi- dowers should also have a copy of their spouses death certificate. Officials say the new policy is not intended to demean special trust and confidence, but should be viewed as a safeguard to protect the benefits and privileges an ID card authorizes.
