DAF Form 1032: WRM Spares List – Download & Guide – The Department of the Air Force (DAF) Form 1032, titled WRM Spares List, serves as a critical document in Air Force logistics and materiel management. It supports the documentation and management of War Reserve Materiel (WRM) spares, ensuring readiness for contingency operations and wartime requirements. U.S. Air Force units, logisticians, and supply personnel use this form to list essential spare parts, components, and associated data for equipment and weapon systems.

What Is DAF Form 1032 and Its Purpose?

DAF Form 1032 functions as a WRM Spares List (sometimes still referred to as AF Form 1032 in legacy contexts). It captures detailed information on spare parts required for War Reserve Materiel sustainment. WRM includes assets prepositioned to support rapid deployment and sustained operations during conflicts, aligned with national defense strategies and Department of Defense (DoD) policy on war reserve inventories.

Key purposes include:

  • Documenting manufacturer part numbers, National Stock Numbers (NSNs), quantities, and unit costs for spares.
  • Supporting equipment identification (type, serial numbers, figures/index from technical orders).
  • Facilitating approval processes for WRM-related spares through MAJCOM or unit channels.
  • Ensuring accountability and traceability for contingency retention stock and readiness spares packages (RSPs).

This form integrates with broader DAF materiel management procedures under DAFMAN 23-300 (Materiel Management Procedures) and related guidance in DAFI 23-101 / legacy AFI 23-101. It helps maintain authorized levels of spares beyond peacetime wartime readiness requirements (PWRRs) when designated as contingency retention stock.

Who Uses DAF Form 1032?

Primary users include:

  • Logistics Readiness Squadrons (LRS) and supply personnel at Air Force bases.
  • War Reserve Materiel managers and equipment managers.
  • MAJCOM-level staff involved in WRM planning and validation.
  • Units responsible for readiness spares packages (RSPs) and kits tied to Unit Type Codes (UTCs) and weapon systems.

It applies across the Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard, supporting compliance with AFPD 23-1 (Materiel Management) and AFI 25-101 (War Reserve Materiel).

Key Fields and Sections on DAF Form 1032

The form (revision dated 0417, previous editions obsolete) includes structured blocks for accurate data entry. Typical fields include:

  • Prepared By and Date / Signature
  • Manufacturer Part Number
  • National Stock Number (NSN)
  • Serial Number
  • Type Equipment
  • Unit Cost
  • QTY (Quantity)
  • SOS (Source of Supply)
  • Figure / Index (references to Technical Orders)
  • WRM Spares List header
  • EEIC (Element of Expense Identification Code)
  • QPA (Quantity Per Assembly)
  • Page / Date
  • Approve / Disapprove (with MAJCOM or unit control number fields)

These fields enable comprehensive listing of spares, including part descriptions, locations (in some legacy contexts), and cost/quantity data essential for budgeting, procurement, and inventory management.

Pro Tip: Cross-reference entries with applicable Technical Orders (TOs) and allowance standards. Use precise NSNs and part numbers to avoid processing delays in systems like the Defense Property Accountability System (DPAS) or supply chain tools.

How to Complete and Submit DAF Form 1032?

  1. Gather Data: Collect accurate details from equipment technical orders, allowance identification reviews, and WRM requirements (e.g., from Nonnuclear Consumables Annual Analysis for certain items).
  2. Fill Blocks: Enter information legibly or electronically where supported. Include QPA, unit cost, and quantity to support validation against PWRRs or contingency needs.
  3. Review and Approve: Route for signatures and approvals (e.g., MAJCOM-level for certain changes). Include unit control numbers as required.
  4. Submit: Forward through logistics channels per local procedures and DAFMAN 23-300 guidance. Maintain records per Air Force records management policies.

For allowance standard changes or WRM composition, coordinate with Lead MAJCOM equipment management and functional area managers.

Always verify current procedures in DAFMAN 23-300 and DAFI 23-101, as materiel management policies evolve to incorporate financial audit readiness, inventory controls, and force presentation updates.

Importance in Air Force Readiness

Effective use of DAF Form 1032 contributes directly to:

  • Sustainment of weapon systems and support equipment during contingencies.
  • Compliance with DoD WRM policy (e.g., DoDI 3110.06), which requires sufficient peacetime inventories to meet strategic objectives.
  • Inventory Accuracy and audit readiness under broader materiel management rules.

WRM spares help bridge gaps between peacetime operations and wartime demands, supporting rapid force generation and mission sustainment.
