Which form must accompany all moved baggage with a patient?

The key idea is that a patient’s medical information travels with them during any movement to ensure continuous, informed care. DD Form 600, the Chronological Record of Medical Care, is the document that accompanies the patient and their baggage because it contains the patient’s medical history, treatments, medications, and significant events in a clear, time‑ordered format. This allows receiving medical teams to review what has been done and what is needed next, even if the patient is moving between facilities or transport modes. Other forms are service- or situation-specific movement documents, not the universal medical history record that must accompany a patient.
