LEADER EDUCATION · PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY
Inventory & Property Accountability
Understand Army property accountability from the ground up.
This is an education tool—not an equipment tracker. Work through the lessons in order if you are new to property, or jump directly to the checklist or scenario you need. The goal is to help a team leader, squad leader, platoon sergeant, platoon leader, executive officer, or commander understand what they are looking at, what to verify, what to document, and when to stop and ask the supply section, S-4, property book office, commander, or legal advisor for help.
Rule to remember: Never sign because someone says, “It was on the last hand receipt.” Your signature means you performed the required verification for the transaction or inventory you are certifying.
Inventory Fundamentals
An Army inventory is not simply counting objects. It is a deliberate comparison between what the accountable record says should exist and what you can physically identify, inspect, and document. A good inventory establishes an audit trail: the correct end item is present, identifying data matches, required components are accounted for, shortages are documented, and responsibility is clearly transferred or maintained.
Accountability vs. responsibility
Accountability is the obligation to keep records of property, documents, or funds. Responsibility is the obligation to ensure government property is properly used, cared for, safeguarded, and accounted for. A Soldier does not need to be the property book officer to have responsibility for Army property. If equipment is issued to you or placed under your control, you have duties concerning that property.
Property categories leaders commonly encounter
Property that is not consumed immediately but may not be formally accounted for on the property book in the same way as nonexpendable property. Local procedures still require control.
Property normally consumed in use or losing its identity through use. “Expendable” does not mean “free” or “uncontrolled.” Leaders still prevent waste, misuse, and unauthorized disposal.
The accountability chain
At unit level, property normally flows from an accountable record to a primary hand receipt holder and then downward through sub-hand receipts or end-user documents. The exact organization varies, but the principle does not: the record must show who has control of the property. Verbal loans and “everyone knows who has it” are weak accountability practices.
Five Types of Responsibility
Property responsibility is broader than whose name appears on a hand receipt. Army property-loss analysis commonly considers five forms of responsibility. Understanding them helps leaders understand why multiple people can have duties involving the same item.
Command responsibility
Obligation of a commander to ensure property within the command is properly used, cared for, safeguarded, and accounted for. It exists because of command and cannot simply be delegated away.
Supervisory responsibility
Obligation of a supervisor to ensure property issued to, or used by, subordinates is properly used and cared for and that proper custody and safeguarding procedures are followed.
Direct responsibility
Obligation of a person who has accepted property on a hand receipt or other accountability document to ensure it is properly used, cared for, safeguarded, and accounted for.
Custodial responsibility
Obligation of a person entrusted with property awaiting issue or turn-in, such as supply personnel or others controlling stored property, to exercise reasonable care and safeguard it.
Personal responsibility
Obligation of every person to exercise reasonable care for government property in their physical possession. You do not need to sign a hand receipt to have personal responsibility for equipment you are using.
Leader takeaway: “I never signed for it” does not automatically mean a person had no responsibility. Likewise, being a hand receipt holder does not automatically prove negligence. Responsibility, loss, culpability, and proximate cause are separate questions when financial liability is considered.
Property Documents You Need to Understand
Primary hand receipt
The record showing property issued from the accountable property record to the primary hand receipt holder. Before accepting it, reconcile what the record says with the physical inventory and supporting component/shortage documentation.
DA Form 2062 — Hand Receipt / Annex Number
Commonly used to document issue and responsibility for property and, depending on how prepared, component or shortage information. Leaders should understand exactly what the document represents before signing: an end item, components, quantities, and any annex or continuation information.
DA Form 3161 — Request for Issue or Turn-In
Commonly used for temporary issue/turn-in and other authorized supply transactions. Do not treat an unsigned or stale temporary document as permanent accountability. Reconcile temporary issues and make sure the property ultimately returns, transfers, or is posted through the proper process.
Component listings / technical publications
Technical manuals and component hand receipts identify what belongs with an end item. The end item being physically present does not mean the inventory is complete. A vehicle, radio system, generator, weapon system, or other set can be present while expensive or mission-essential components are missing.
Shortage annex / shortage documentation
Documents authorized shortages against an end item. A shortage is not solved because it is written down. Leaders should know whether the shortage is valid, whether replenishment was ordered when required, whether the document is current, and what happens when the missing component arrives.
DD Form 200 — Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss
Used to document the circumstances of loss, damage, or destruction and, when appropriate, investigate responsibility and potential financial liability. It is not simply a form used to “charge somebody.” The process establishes facts and supports adjustment of accountable records.
Do not sign a document you do not understand. Ask: What property is this document transferring? What quantity? What serial numbers? What components? What shortages? What date? What responsibility am I accepting?
Types of Inventories
Different inventories exist for different reasons. Your unit's current policy, supply procedures, and governing publications determine exact frequency, appointment requirements, and documentation.
Change-of-command / change-of-hand-receipt inventory
A deliberate transfer of responsibility. The incoming holder should physically verify property and components, reconcile serial numbers and quantities, identify shortages and excess, and ensure discrepancies are resolved or formally documented before accepting responsibility. This is not the time to assume the outgoing holder's paperwork is correct.
Cyclic inventory
Breaks the property book into manageable portions so property is repeatedly verified instead of waiting for a major transition. A strong cyclic program catches missing components, stale hand receipts, unposted transfers, and location changes while the facts are still recent.
Sensitive-items inventory
Applies heightened control to items requiring special protection or accountability. Weapons and other sensitive equipment are common examples. Use the current unit policy and governing requirements for frequency, who may conduct it, and required documentation.
Sub-hand-receipt / supervisory inventory
Leaders should periodically verify the property they have delegated downward. Sub-hand receipting transfers direct responsibility but does not eliminate supervisory responsibility.
Event-driven inventory
Conducted when circumstances create increased risk: after field exercises, movement, change of custodians, storage-area changes, suspected loss, equipment turn-in, or other events directed by command. Smart leaders inventory immediately after high-risk events rather than discovering losses months later.
How to Conduct an Inventory — Step by Step
- Get the authoritative records.
Obtain the current hand receipt/property listing, component listings, shortage documents, technical manuals, serial-number records, lateral-transfer/turn-in documents, and any temporary hand receipts that affect what should be present.
- Build the inventory plan.
Group property by location and system. Coordinate access to locked areas, vehicles, containers, arms rooms, communications cages, maintenance areas, and property temporarily away from the unit. Give enough time to inventory to standard.
- Lay out the property.
Do not inventory from memory, photographs, or a spreadsheet when physical verification is required. Open cases, containers, drawers, BII storage locations, and kits. Make the property observable.
- Identify the end item.
Compare nomenclature, quantity, NSN or other identifying information, and serial/registration numbers where applicable. Similar-looking items are not interchangeable for accountability purposes.
- Inventory components.
Use the current component list or technical publication. Count components and verify the correct type, not merely “something that looks close.” Check BII and COEI separately when the publication distinguishes them.
- Inspect condition.
Inventory answers “is it here?” but leaders should also notice obvious damage, missing safety items, cannibalization, or unusable components. Route maintenance deficiencies through the proper maintenance process; do not hide them inside inventory notes.
- Record discrepancies immediately.
Write down missing end items, components, serial-number mismatches, excess property, undocumented loans, and questionable substitutions while you are physically at the item.
- Reconcile paperwork.
Compare discrepancies against shortage annexes, work orders, turn-in documents, transfer documents, and sub-hand receipts. A missing item may be legitimately transferred or in maintenance—but there must be supporting documentation.
- Resolve or elevate.
Correct records, complete authorized shortage actions, recover property, update sub-hand receipts, or initiate loss procedures as required. Do not make a discrepancy disappear by simply changing your personal spreadsheet.
- Sign only after reconciliation.
Review what your signature certifies. Keep the documents required by your unit and governing records procedures. If unresolved discrepancies remain, coordinate with the supply section/PBO and chain of command before accepting responsibility.
Never inventory by “eyes on the box.” A locked case, sealed container, or parked vehicle is not proof that all required components are present inside it.
BII, COEI, AAL and Component Accountability
One of the easiest ways for a new leader to get into trouble is to verify the end item but ignore its components.
Components of End Item are items identified as part of the end item configuration. Use the applicable technical publication/component listing to determine what belongs with the system.
Basic Issue Items support operation, maintenance, or use of the end item and are listed by the applicable publication. They must be inventoried to the required standard rather than assumed present.
Additional Authorization List items may be authorized to support an end item but are not necessarily components of the end item itself. Know what your publication says and how your unit accounts for them.
Practical component-inventory method
Start with the publication, not the layout. Read the item description and quantity. Locate that exact component. Verify quantity and identifying characteristics. Mark it only after physical verification. If the component is missing, check approved shortage documentation. If a substitute is present, do not assume it satisfies the requirement—verify authorization through the appropriate supply/maintenance channel.
When a component arrives later
A component that was previously short must be brought back into accountability. Inventory the received component against the applicable shortage record, ensure the shortage documentation is updated/cleared through the proper process, and place the component with the correct end item or issue it on the appropriate accountability document. Otherwise the unit can own the component and still show it as short.
Shortage Management
Shortage management is not a one-time paperwork drill. It is a continuing process that connects the physical inventory, component list, supply request, hand receipt, and later receipt of replacement components.
- Identify the shortage precisely.
Record the correct component description, quantity, and relationship to the end item. “Missing tools” is not enough.
- Determine whether it is an authorized/documented shortage.
Compare the physical shortage with the current shortage annex and applicable component list.
- Determine required supply action.
Coordinate with supply to determine whether the item must be ordered, is on order, is not separately orderable, requires a different source of supply, or needs another authorized action.
- Track the document.
Keep the document number/status or other approved tracking information. “Supply ordered it” is not a control system.
- Reconcile when received.
When the replacement arrives, match it to the shortage, update the documentation, and put the component under the correct responsibility.
Red flag: The same shortage appearing on hand receipts for years with no status, no order, no explanation, and no follow-up. A documented shortage still requires management.
Missing Property, Statements of Charges & FLIPL Fundamentals
When property cannot be located, the first leader action is not to decide who pays. The first action is to establish facts, protect remaining property, search/reconcile intelligently, notify the proper leadership/supply channels, and preserve documentation.
Immediate leader actions
- Confirm the item is actually required by the current record and verify its identifying information.
- Check sub-hand receipts, temporary issues, maintenance/work-order status, lateral transfers, turn-ins, storage locations, and recent field/movement activity.
- Notify the chain of command and supply personnel according to unit procedures—especially for sensitive or controlled property.
- Preserve hand receipts, statements, access records, dispatch/maintenance records, inventory sheets, and other evidence that may explain custody.
- Follow the required loss-adjustment process. Do not backdate documents or create a hand receipt after the fact to make the records appear correct.
What a FLIPL is—and is not
A Financial Liability Investigation of Property Loss documents the circumstances surrounding lost, damaged, or destroyed government property and supports adjustment of the accountable record. When liability is considered, the analysis is more than “your name was on the hand receipt.” Investigators consider responsibility, whether there was negligence or willful misconduct, whether an actual loss occurred, and whether the conduct was the proximate cause of that loss. Legal and command review requirements apply.
Statement of charges
In situations authorized by current policy, an individual may voluntarily admit liability and agree to a charge. Leaders should not pressure a Soldier to sign merely to make a shortage disappear. When the facts, amount, type of property, or circumstances require a different process, use the appropriate process and obtain supply/legal guidance.
Important: Loss procedures and financial-liability rules are fact-specific. MILCOMPASS teaches the concepts; the commander, supply/PBO, and servicing legal office should be used for an actual loss case.
Leader Scenarios
Scenario 1 · You inherit a squad and one radio is missing
Situation: The squad's sub-hand receipt shows six radios. Five are physically present. Someone says the sixth has “been with maintenance forever.”
Do not: Sign for six based on the verbal explanation.
Work the problem: Verify the exact radio/serial number, check maintenance/work-order documentation, determine whether the accountable record still lists it to the squad, confirm whether a valid temporary transfer exists, and reconcile with the supply section. If documentation proves legitimate custody elsewhere, correct the accountability trail. If the radio cannot be accounted for, elevate the discrepancy and follow loss procedures before accepting an unsupported count.
Scenario 2 · The truck is present but the BII is not
Situation: You see the vehicle and its serial/registration information matches. The BII layout is missing a jack, lug wrench, fire extinguisher, and several tools.
Correct mindset: The end item being present does not make the inventory complete. Use the current component listing, identify each shortage precisely, compare it with valid shortage documentation, and determine supply action. Do not mark the vehicle “good” simply because it starts and drives.
Scenario 3 · A Soldier says another platoon borrowed it
Situation: A missing item was allegedly loaned three months ago. There is no hand receipt.
Work the problem: Physically check the other platoon, identify the item by serial/identifying data, and reconcile custody. If found, document responsibility correctly now and address the weak control practice. If not found, treat the statement as a lead—not proof—and continue the loss reconciliation process.
Scenario 4 · You find equipment not on your hand receipt
Situation: During a layout, you find an accountable item in your cage that is not on your records.
Correct action: Do not hide it, unofficially absorb it, or move it to another unit. Record identifying information and coordinate with supply/PBO to determine the accountable owner and complete the proper transfer/turn-in action. Excess property is an accountability problem too.
Scenario 5 · Post-field inventory
Situation: The platoon returns from a field exercise late Friday. Everyone wants to go home.
Leader decision: High-risk movement is exactly when property can become separated from its owner. Establish recovery/accountability procedures, verify sensitive/high-value equipment immediately as required, and conduct the appropriate post-operation layout/inventory. Waiting until the next monthly check makes it harder to reconstruct who had what and where the loss occurred.
Knowledge Check
Answer before revealing the explanation.
1. A generator is physically present. Can you mark the inventory complete?
No. Verify identifying data and required components against the current records/publications, and reconcile shortages. Presence of the end item alone is not a complete component inventory.
2. If a Soldier never signed a hand receipt, can they still have property responsibility?
Yes. Personal, supervisory, command, or custodial responsibility can exist depending on the facts. A signature is important evidence of direct responsibility but is not the only source of responsibility.
3. A component is listed as short. Does that end the leader's responsibility?
No. Validate the shortage, determine required supply action, track it, and reconcile the record when the replacement arrives.
4. You cannot find an item. Should you immediately tell the hand receipt holder they must pay?
No. Establish the facts and use the proper loss process. Financial liability requires more than the existence of a hand receipt.
5. Why are cyclic inventories useful?
They repeatedly test the accuracy of the property records and expose shortages, stale documents, unposted transfers, and component problems before a major change-of-command inventory.
Official References & Leader Support
Always use the current publication in Army Publishing Directorate and current local command policy. Property policy and forms change. For unit-specific execution, use your supply sergeant, company XO, S-4/G-4, property book office, COMET team when available, commander, and servicing legal office.
Education, not the accountable record
MILCOMPASS does not replace GCSS-Army, the property book, hand receipts, technical publications, commander-directed inventories, local CSDP procedures, or legal review. When this lesson conflicts with a current official publication or order, follow the official source.

The MILCOMPASS user interface, workflow design, organization, study systems, question-bank structure, leader tools, original explanatory text, and software code are original MILCOMPASS product elements except where a source or quotation is specifically identified.
TRANSPARENCY
Sources & Attribution
Know where the information came from.
MILCOMPASS should make it easy to distinguish official source material from MILCOMPASS summaries, explanations, planning tools, and practice content.
Official government sources
Where practical, MILCOMPASS links directly to Army, Department of Defense, U.S. Code, HRC, Army Publishing Directorate, Army schoolhouse, and other government sources. A link does not imply that the source agency endorses MILCOMPASS.
Quotations and excerpts
Short excerpts may be displayed when useful for study or verification. They should be labeled as source wording and linked back to the source. Longer material should be summarized rather than copied wholesale.
Government works and copyright
Many works created by U.S. Government employees as part of their official duties are not protected by U.S. copyright law. That rule has exceptions and does not automatically apply to third-party material contained in government publications, transferred copyrights, contractor-created work, trademarks, logos, insignia, seals, photographs, or other protected material.
17 U.S.C. §105 ↗Army marks are different
Army names, logos, emblems, unit insignia, rank insignia, badges, mottos, wordmarks, and similar identifiers may be protected Army trademarks. MILCOMPASS does not claim ownership of Army marks and should not use protected marks in a manner that implies Army affiliation, sponsorship, licensing, or endorsement.
Army Trademark Licensing Program ↗Report a source concern
If a source is outdated, incorrectly attributed, copyrighted material appears to be used improperly, or a link is broken, report it through Feedback so it can be reviewed and corrected.
PRIVACY
Privacy Policy & Data
Collect less. Protect what is necessary. Give users control.
This policy describes MILCOMPASS data practices. It is designed to keep the product focused on career, study, readiness, and leader-development information rather than high-risk government or personal records.
Information MILCOMPASS may process
Account information may include email address and authentication/session identifiers. User-created information may include saved references, career goals, milestones, profile details, preferences, and documents a user intentionally places in the Career Documents Vault. Basic technical and security records may include timestamps, application version, request identifiers, authentication/security events, and limited diagnostic information needed to protect and operate the service.
Why information is used
MILCOMPASS uses information to provide requested features, synchronize user content, secure accounts, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, maintain audit records, process subscription entitlements, and improve the service. MILCOMPASS does not sell personal data and does not use Career Documents Vault contents to target advertising.
Service providers and data sharing
MILCOMPASS uses service providers to operate the product. Supabase supports authentication, database, and storage functions; Cloudflare supports hosting, edge delivery, API security, and related infrastructure. When a user intentionally uses an AI-assisted feature, the question and the limited verified context needed to answer it may be sent through the MILCOMPASS server to OpenAI. Service providers receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform the requested service and are not authorized by MILCOMPASS to use Career Documents Vault contents for targeted advertising.
Payments and subscription records
Payments made through Apple or Google are processed by the applicable app store. MILCOMPASS does not need full payment-card details to determine Pro access. MILCOMPASS may retain verified product, transaction, subscription-chain, status, and expiration metadata needed to provide, restore, secure, and audit subscription entitlements.
Advertising
The Free plan may display clearly identified advertising when advertising is enabled. MILCOMPASS Pro is designed to be ad-free. Career Documents Vault contents are not used to target ads. MILCOMPASS does not place ads inside safety-critical or sensitive reference areas such as emergency information, TCCC, SHARP/EO, suicide-prevention resources, or legal/UCMJ reference content. If an advertising provider uses information requiring additional consent or disclosure, MILCOMPASS will present the required controls before that processing is enabled.
Prohibited information
Do not upload or enter classified information; Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI); Social Security numbers; DoD ID/EDIPI numbers; CAC certificates, private keys, PINs or credentials; passwords; medical records or diagnoses; victim information; law-enforcement or disciplinary evidence; security-clearance investigative material; full bank or payment-account data; export-controlled material; operationally sensitive information; or unnecessary weapon serial numbers or other high-risk identifiers.
Data classification
Public: public study/reference content. Personal: account, goals, preferences, saved items and ordinary profile data. Sensitive: permitted career documents that require the private vault and additional controls. Prohibited: information listed above that MILCOMPASS is not designed or authorized to receive.
Career Documents Vault
Vault files are intended only for permitted personal career documents. Storage is private and access-controlled. New files are quarantined until a trusted scanning service clears them. A cleared file is accessed through a short-lived signed link. Users should still remove unnecessary sensitive identifiers before upload.
Retention and deletion
User-created content should be retained only while needed to provide the service or satisfy a legitimate security/legal requirement. Users can delete individual vault documents. MILCOMPASS provides an export of supported account data and a verified process to permanently delete the authentication account and eligible associated personal data, including Career Documents Vault files where applicable. Limited security, fraud-prevention, transaction, legal, or backup records may remain for a limited period when reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, process disputes, comply with law, or preserve the integrity of the service.
Service providers
MILCOMPASS may rely on infrastructure, authentication, database, storage, security-scanning, hosting, email, and similar service providers to operate the service. Providers should receive only the information reasonably necessary for their role and should be configured consistently with MILCOMPASS privacy and security commitments.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of personal data and may have additional rights concerning certain processing. MILCOMPASS should honor applicable verified requests and should not discriminate against users for exercising legally protected privacy rights.
Children
MILCOMPASS is designed for military career and professional-development use and is not directed to children under 13. Do not create an account for a child or submit a child's personal information to the service.
Security and incidents
No internet service can guarantee absolute security. MILCOMPASS uses layered safeguards intended to reduce risk. If a security incident occurs, MILCOMPASS should investigate, contain the issue, preserve appropriate evidence, assess applicable notification duties, and notify affected users or authorities when required by law.
Policy changes
Material policy changes should be identified by version/date and, when appropriate, presented to signed-in users for renewed acceptance before continued use of affected private-data features.
Privacy Policy · Effective September 14, 2026 · Version 2026-09-14 · MILCOMPASS RC10.410
TERMS
Terms of Use & Legal
Use MILCOMPASS as a support tool—not as an official determination.
These Terms govern use of MILCOMPASS, including account, private-data, subscription, and paid-feature use. By using covered features, users agree to these Terms and the current Privacy Policy.
Acceptance
By creating or using a MILCOMPASS account or private-data feature, a user agrees to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If a user does not agree, the user should not create an account, upload documents, or use private-data features.
No government affiliation or endorsement
MILCOMPASS is independently developed and is not an official U.S. Army, Department of Defense, or U.S. Government application. References to military organizations, programs, publications, forms, ranks, MOSs, schools, policies, or websites are informational and do not imply sponsorship, approval, affiliation, certification, or endorsement.
Acceptable use
Users may use MILCOMPASS for lawful personal, educational, career-development, study, and leader-support purposes. Users may not misuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with security controls, upload malicious files, impersonate another person, violate another person's privacy or intellectual-property rights, or submit information MILCOMPASS identifies as prohibited.
Government and sensitive information restriction
MILCOMPASS is not an approved system for classified information or CUI. Users must not upload classified information, CUI, government credentials, protected operational information, or other material requiring an authorized government information system. A user's access to such information elsewhere does not authorize its submission to MILCOMPASS.
User content and documents
Users retain their rights in content they submit. Users grant MILCOMPASS only the limited permission reasonably necessary to host, process, scan, transmit, display back to the user, back up, secure, and delete that content in order to operate the requested service. Users represent that they have the right and authority to submit their content.
Official-source verification
Military regulations, forms, policies, course prerequisites, benefits, administrative processes, and websites can change. Users must verify consequential information against the current official source and applicable chain of command or servicing office before acting.
No professional advice or official decision
MILCOMPASS provides educational, organizational, and planning support. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, or mental-health advice and does not make official personnel, promotion, evaluation, eligibility, readiness, security-clearance, benefits, or command decisions.
No warranty
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MILCOMPASS is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely secure, or that every item of information will remain current or complete. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that applicable law does not permit to be excluded.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MILCOMPASS and its owner/operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from use of the service. Any limitation applies only to the extent enforceable under applicable law and does not limit liability that legally cannot be limited.
Account security
Users are responsible for safeguarding their credentials, using accurate account information, and promptly reporting suspected unauthorized access. MILCOMPASS may suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or others.
Intellectual property and military marks
MILCOMPASS does not claim ownership of public-domain government material or third-party intellectual property. Military-service names, marks, logos, insignia, seals, badges, mottos, and related identifiers remain the property of their respective owners. MILCOMPASS original software, interface, organization, explanations, and original content remain protected to the extent allowed by law.
Free and Pro plans
MILCOMPASS may offer a Free plan and a paid MILCOMPASS Pro plan. The Free plan may include advertising and usage or feature limits. Pro may include expanded premium features and is designed to be ad-free. Current features, eligibility, price, and billing period are displayed before purchase and may change prospectively.
Auto-renewable subscriptions
Where offered, MILCOMPASS Pro may be purchased as a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. The price and billing period shown by Apple, Google, or another authorized checkout at the time of purchase control. Unless canceled through the applicable billing provider, a subscription may automatically renew according to that provider's terms and the disclosures shown before purchase.
Cancellation, refunds, and revocation
Canceling automatic renewal ordinarily preserves Pro access through the end of the already-paid billing period. Refunds, chargebacks, store revocations, fraud findings, or other provider actions may end access earlier. Refund eligibility and payment disputes are governed by the applicable store or payment provider and applicable law.
Restore purchases
Eligible users may restore a valid subscription after signing in to the same MILCOMPASS account. Restore requests are verified server-side against the applicable provider. A verified subscription chain may be linked to only one MILCOMPASS account at a time to reduce fraud and accidental cross-account access.
Termination and deletion
Users may stop using MILCOMPASS at any time. Deleting a MILCOMPASS account does not automatically cancel an Apple, Google, or other third-party subscription; users must manage cancellation with the applicable billing provider to stop future renewals. MILCOMPASS may restrict or terminate accounts for material violations, security threats, unlawful use, or other legitimate operational reasons, subject to applicable law. Deletion requests may require identity verification and may not immediately remove limited backups or security records that must temporarily be retained for legitimate purposes.
Questions, notices, and support
Users can report product, privacy, source, billing, or account concerns through the MILCOMPASS Feedback control. Additional contact information may also be provided in the applicable app-store listing. Legal rights and remedies that cannot lawfully be waived remain unaffected.
Changes
These Terms may be updated as the service changes. Material changes affecting private-data features should be versioned and presented for renewed acceptance when appropriate.

BILLING
Subscriptions & Billing
Know what renews, what is included, and how to cancel.
MILCOMPASS Pro is a paid premium plan. Subscription pricing, billing frequency, and any trial terms are displayed in the applicable checkout before purchase.
Free
MILCOMPASS Free provides core military reference and essential resources. The Free plan may include clearly identified advertising and may have lower limits on selected premium tools.
MILCOMPASS Pro
Pro may include expanded premium career and leader tools, larger or higher-use limits, advanced simulations, reports/exports, and other paid capabilities identified in the app. Pro is designed to be ad-free while the subscription remains active.
Monthly and annual auto-renewal
When offered, Pro may be purchased monthly or annually. The exact price and billing period shown by the applicable store at checkout control. Unless canceled, the subscription may renew automatically under the store's terms. Users should review the renewal price and date shown by their store account.
Canceling
Users can manage or cancel automatic renewal through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the billing provider used for the purchase. A normal cancellation ordinarily keeps Pro active until the paid period ends. Deleting the MILCOMPASS account does not automatically cancel the store subscription.
Refunds, chargebacks, and revocations
Refunds and payment disputes are handled under the applicable store or payment-provider rules and applicable law. A verified refund, chargeback, or revocation may remove Pro access before the originally expected expiration date.
Restore Purchases
Restore Purchases is available for eligible subscriptions after the user signs in. MILCOMPASS verifies the provider transaction and subscription chain on the server before restoring Pro. Restore does not rely solely on a client-side claim of purchase.
Account and subscription ownership
A verified Apple or Google subscription chain may be associated with only one MILCOMPASS account at a time. This protects users from accidental cross-account access and helps prevent subscription fraud.
Subscription Terms · Effective September 14, 2026 · Version 2026-09-14 · MILCOMPASS RC10.410
ACCOUNT
Account Deletion
Permanently delete your MILCOMPASS account.
Signed-in users can request and complete verified account deletion from Account & Settings. The process is designed to remove the authentication account and eligible associated application data.
How to delete your account
Sign in to MILCOMPASS, open More → Account & Settings, open the privacy/account controls, submit an account deletion request, and follow the permanent-deletion confirmation flow. The final destructive action requires the exact confirmation phrase shown by the app.
What is deleted
The trusted deletion process removes the MILCOMPASS authentication identity and eligible user-owned application data. Career Documents Vault objects and associated metadata are removed where applicable, along with eligible goals, saved items, and other supported user data.
What may be retained temporarily
Limited security, fraud-prevention, transaction, legal, or backup records may be retained for a limited period when reasonably necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, resolve billing disputes, comply with law, or preserve the integrity of the service.
Subscriptions are separate
Deleting the MILCOMPASS account does not automatically cancel an Apple App Store, Google Play, or other third-party subscription. Cancel the subscription through the applicable billing provider if you want to stop future renewals.
If you cannot sign in
Open the public MILCOMPASS website and use More → Send Feedback to report an account-deletion access problem. Do not include passwords, SSNs, DoD identifiers, CUI, or other prohibited information in the report.
