Installationcommanders will assure that members with dependentsare aware of the importance that theirdependents be in possession of DD Forms 1173for privilege identification purposes. Further,that if identification cards which have been issuedto their dependents are due to expire prior to terminationof eligibility for ,such cards, it is theresponsibility of the member to make applicationfor a reissue prior to the expiration date. Failureof sponsors to make prompt application for initial,issue, or reissue upon expiration, of DD Form1173 may result in their dependents being deprivedof privileges to which they are entitled and, inthe case of medical care, severe hardship may resultwhere application is delayed until after thedependent becomes ill.b.
