Use of This Volume

A. Various paragraphs in this volume cite the use of specific Department of the Treasury symbols (e.g., **F3880, or **F3875). In all instances, the double asterisk must be replaced by the appropriate DoD Component designator, i.e., 17 for Navy (including Marine Corps), 21 for Army, 57 for Air Force, or 97 for Defense, as appropriate.

B. This volume also prescribes the use of specific forms. Most prescribed forms are available electronically through the DoD Forms Program website at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/infomgt/forms/formsprogram.htm. Some DoD Components use specific DoD Component forms in lieu of the prescribed forms. In many instances, these equivalent forms are generated by disbursing systems currently in operation. It is not necessary for DoD Components to modify existing disbursing systems to incorporate the forms prescribed by this volume. Affected Components shall continue to use existing automated systems and the forms they generate until all existing disbursing systems are replaced by a standard DoD disbursing system. Any Component that elects to use a computer-generated version of a prescribed DD Form must request an exception in accordance with DoD 7750.7-M. Examples of forms used in this volume are only for illustrative purposes. Under no circumstances will they be reproduced for use.
