Extending the work in Schilling (Int. Math. Res. Not. 2006:97376, 2006, we introduce the affine crystal action on rigged configurations which is isomorphic to the Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystal B r,s of type D (1) n for any r, s. We also introduce a representation of B r,s (r = n − 1, n) in terms of tableaux of rectangular shape r × s, which we coin Kirillov-Reshetikhin tableaux (using a nontrivial analogue of the type A column splitting procedure) to construct a bijection between elements of a tensor product of Kirillov-Reshetikhin crystals and rigged configurations.
