Tasked with starting a FLIPL for a soldier in our ranks. Read through AR 735-5 and have a general idea on what needs to be done.

Use extra pages if necessary.<br /><br />Attach all available records that support the loss/damage, to include hand receipts, dispatches, PMCS records, photos, etc.<br /><br />Pay attention to the formatting of each block in AR 735-5.<br /><br />Stay within the initiation timeline - the FLIPL process starts on the day the loss/damage was discovered.
