(birth, divorces, etc.), the DD Form 1172 remains the reporting and data updating vehicle. In

DD Form 1172 to district (rsa), retaining the pink copy for unit records, and giving the yellow
copy to the member. District commanders shall forward the original DD Form 1172 with a
DEERS Batch Transmittal Form (DD Form 2268) to the DEERS Support Office (DSO), P.O.
Box 16008, Monterey, CA 93942-6008. Reserve specific instructions for completing DD
Forms 2268 are in enclosure (3).
