What is a DD 1408?

• A. Armed Forces Traffic Citation
• B. United States District Court Violation Notice
• C. Traffic Accident Report
• D. Vehicle Registration Form

Answer: (A)

A DD Form 1408 is the Armed Forces Traffic Ticket issued by military police on DoD installations to document a traffic violation. It functions as an official citation that directs the service member to address the offense, usually by paying a fine or appearing before the proper authority. This form stays in the military enforcement record and ties the violation to military regulations and procedures. It’s specifically for on-base traffic issues, not a civilian court notice, not a vehicle registration form, and not a record of a traffic accident.
