VDF Official Forms, Regulations, Pamphlets, and Policy Letters

The information provided on this page supersedes all previous versions of Forms, Regulations, Pamphlets, and Policy Letters.

In the table below are the most up-to-date Forms, Regulations, Pamphlets, and Policy Letters that are published from Headquarters.

Publication/Form Number designations are as follows:

  • VDFR = VDF Regulation
  • VDFP = VDF Pamphlet
  • VDF Form = VDF Form
  • VDF CPL = Command Policy Letter
  • TAG PL = TAG Policy Letter

Other designations may simply be the document name, such as DMA Workman’s Comp Form, since this is an outside form.

Most files are in PDF fillable format and can be saved, printed and emailed. Some forms contain Forms Directives that contain further instruction on how to correctly fill out the VDF Forms. For the Forms that do not have a Forms Directive means that the form is self-explanatory. Some files are in Word format that can also be downloaded. When a link is clicked to view a PDF file, you may be prompted to download the file to your computer in order to complete it. All forms are saved by their appropriate name so they can be easily found on your computer.

NOTE: If you want to view the PDF in your browser, you may have to change your browser settings. How PDF files are treated are dependent upon your browser settings. Instructions on how to do so can be found here.

When submitting a form, please save it with your last name added to the front of the filename. For example: Jones_Form 600-8-1.pdf

ALERT: Be sure to review PDF files in their entirety. There are some that are more than one page in length.

NOTE: As of August 2022, we are in the process of updating this page with the latest VDF forms, regulations, pamphlets and policy letters. VDF Regulation 600-10 supersedes all previously published regulations where applicable.
