The convening authority will ensure that the accident is investigated and reported in accordance with this regulation and the terms of the contract.
If the Army administers the contract and the mishap involves reportable damage or injury to another DOD agency, the Army Headquarters administering the contract will ensure all mishap information is sent to the involved agency with an information copy to USACR/SC. If another DOD agency administers the contract and the mishap involves reportable damage or injury to the Army, the Army Headquarters that owned the resources will request the contracting agency investigate and report.

The loss is recorded as a mishap to the DA account. (c) Mishaps involving equipment bailed to a non-DOD organization. For mishaps involving equipment bailed to a non-DOD organization for modification, maintenance, repair, test, contract training, or experimental project for a DOD component, when the Government has assumed ground and flight risk, the Army Headquarters that negotiates the contract for the materiel is the convening authority.
The convening authority is responsible for the safety investigation and reporting, although the equipment may not be under the operational control of the Army. The loss is recorded as a mishap to the DA account. (d) Other equipment contractor mishaps . If a mishap involves GFE or bailed equipment, or new production equipment (accepted by the Army on a DD Form 250 (Material Inspection and Receiving Report) but not delivered), the Army Headquarters of the command negotiating the contract/bailment is the convening authority unless otherwise specified in the contract/bailment agreement.
In cases where contract/bailment agreements specify investigative juris- diction, follow the terms of such agreements. In no case will a non-Army agency have safety investigation jurisdiction. Army personnel who are involved in a vehicle accident while operating a Government vehicle (tactical or nontactical) will, if possible, complete an Standard Form (SF) 91 (Motor Vehicle Accident Report) before leaving the scene of the accident. A complete SF 91 is required even if the damage to the motor vehicle is not noticeable. The operator of the vehicle will furnish copies of the completed SF 91 to military law enforcement and unit safety personnel as requested. 25 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
