When a member PCS where is the AF Form 1521 filed?

• A. In the member's JRF
• B. In the AF Form 2
• C. In the ARC file
• D. In the base personnel file

Answer: (C)

This item tests where to file AF Form 1521 after a PCS. It belongs in the ARC file because this form is part of the Reserve Component records and the ARC file is the designated repository for Reserve actions and transfers. Keeping the form in the ARC file ensures the member’s Reserve status and record history stay aligned as they move between units or statuses. The other locations aren’t the standard place for ARC-specific actions: the JRF isn’t the archival spot for this form, AF Form 2 isn’t the repository for ARC personnel actions, and the base personnel file is the installation’s primary active-duty record rather than the Reserve Component file.
