DOD INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM: MARKING OF INFORMATION

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 12 ENCLOSURE 2 ENCLOSURE 2 OVERVIEW 1. MARKING STANDARD. This marking system augments and further defines the markings requirements established in References (d), (e), and (f), as applicable, for overall classification and portion marks. a . The marking system specifies a uniform list of authorized security classification and control markings and their authorized abbreviations and portion markings. b. Documents marked in accordance with previous guidance need not be re-marked with markings compliant with guidance in this Volume. All newly created documents (original and derivative) shall carry compliant markings. c. The marking standard includes a requirement to add the applicable dissemination control markings to the overall classification line and to portion markings. Primary changes to the DoD marking system implemented by this standard are: ( 1) The overall classification line is referred to as the “banner line.” ( 2) The applicable dissemination control marking(s) (e.g., REL TO ( authorized for release to)) shall be included in the banner line and the portion markings. ( 3) The portion marks for subjects and titles shall be placed bef ore the subject or title, as for other text. The previous exception to the placement rules for subjects and titles is no longer authorized. ( 4) The standard for annotating dates in the classification authority block is YYYYMMDD. (This format is consistent with the metadata standard; see paragraph 2.h of Enclosure 3.) ( 5) Markings must appear in the order specified in Enclosure 4. ( 6) The format for markings will follow the syntax specified in Enclosure 4. d. Defense Intelligence Components and personnel working with intelligence and intelligence-related information under the purview of the DNI shall refer to IC Directive (ICD) 710 (Reference (m)), the “Authorized Classification and Control Markings Register” (Reference (n)) (hereafter called the “CAPCO Register”) issued by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Controlled Access Program Coordination Office (CAPCO), and the “IC Classification and Control Markings Implementation Manual” (Reference (o)) (hereafter called the “Marking Implementation Manual”) for guidance on marking and dissemination of classified and unclassified intelligence information. The CAPCO Register and Marking Implementation Manual are available electronically on the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System

EXAMPLES. A ll figures and associated markings used in this document are unclassified and are for example only. The markings used in the figures are to illustrate the required format. In order to keep this document unclassified, unclassified memorandums or other samples are used as the basis for some of the examples. The contents of the example documents are not relevant except to the extent they provide further explanation or highlight particular points. 3. WAIVERS INVOLVING MARKING OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. Only the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) may grant waivers to the marking requirements specified by References (d) and (f) for classified information. Any portion marking waiver approved will be temporary and will have specific expiration dates. Administrative burden alone will ordinarily not be viewed as sufficient grounds to support a waiver. Requests for waivers from the non-Intelligence DoD Components, including those involving SAPs, should be forwarded to the Office of the Deputy Director for Intelligence (Counterintelligence, Law Enforcement, & Security) (DDI(CL&S)), for submission to the Director, ISOO. DoD Components that are elements of the IC shall furnish a copy to the DDI(CL&S), when submitting waiver requests in accordance with DNI policy. A waiver request shall include: a. Identification of the information (or class of documents) for which the marking waiver is sought. b. A detailed explanation of why the Director, ISOO, should grant the waiver. c. T he DoD Component’s judgment of the anticipated dissemination of the information for which the waiver is sought. d. F or portion marking waiver requests: ( 1) The extent to which the documents subject to the waiver may be a basis for derivative classification. ( 2) How the DoD Component intends to eliminate or mitigate the negative impact that the lack of portion marking has on the sharing of information, as appropriate, between and among the DoD Components, Executive Branch agencies, and foreign partners and allies, as well as State, local, and tribal governments, law enforcement agencies, and the private sector. ( 3) A statement of support from the Under Se cretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (USD(I&S)), the Secretary of Defense’s designee for security policy matters. DoD elements of the IC shall also provide a statement of support from the DNI.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 14 ENCLOSURE 2 e. F or waiver requests involving prescribed standard forms, the proposed alternative form must be submitted with the request. 4. COVER SHEETS AND CLASSIFICATION LABELS a. C lassified files, folders, and similar groups of documents shall have clear classification markings on the outside of the folder or holder. Attaching the appropriate classified document cover sheet (Standard Form (SF) 703, “Top Secret (Cover sheet);” SF 704, “Secret (Cover sheet);” or SF 705 “Confidential (Cover sheet)”) to the front of the folder or holder shall satisfy this requirement. These cover sheets need not be attached when the item is in secure storage (e.g., GSA-approved security container). b. If not otherwise marked, the SF classification labels listed in subparagraphs (1) through (3) of this paragraph should be used to identify the highest level of classified information stored on information technology (IT) systems and removable electronic storage media. These labels may also be used on other forms of property to clearly identify the classification level of the information contained in or on that item, when appropriate. In an environment in which both classified and unclassified information is processed or stored, SF 710, “Unclassified (Label)” shall be used to identify unclassified media or equipment. There is no requirement to use SF 710 in environments where no classified information is created or used. If the level of classification of the information on the medium changes (i.e., the information is declassified, downgraded, or upgraded), the label shall be replaced or covered by the appropriate label for the new level of classification. ( 1) SF 706, “Top Secret (Label)” ( 2) SF 707, “Secret (Label)” ( 3) SF 708, “Confidential (Label)” c. W here cover sheets and classification labels are used, the specified SFs must be used unless a waiver is granted in accordance with section 3 of this enclosure. 5. TRIGRAPHS AND TETRAGRAPHS. Trigraphs which are compatible with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 3166 (ISO-3166) (Reference (p)) for country names and a partial list of approved international organization and alliance tetragraphs are available at https://www.intelink.gov/sites/ousdi/hcis/sec/icdirect/information/default.aspx under “Additional Resources.” Complete, current listings of approved country trigraphs and international organization and alliance tetragraphs are posted on the CAPCO websites listed in paragraph 1.d of this enclosure.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 15 ENCLOSURE 2 6. REQUESTS FOR OPERATIONAL TETRAGRAPHS a. Process ( 1) All requests for new tetragraphs or changes to an existing tetragraph contained in the Tetragraph Table in Annex A of the CAPCO Register, except as provided in subparagraph 6.a.(2) of this section, shall be submitted to DDI(CL&S), for review and, as appropriate, endorsement, prior to forwarding to CAPCO. Allow 90 days for processing such requests, although submission is encouraged as soon as the need is defined. All requests for action within 30 days must include justification. ( 2) Requests for changes to tetragraphs that are solely changes to the existing country list shall be sent directly to CAPCO, with a copy to the DDI(CL&S). Justification or other supporting documentation must be included with such requests. (3) Care should be taken to ensure all requests are appropriately classified. (4) It is the requesting organization’s responsibility to notify its workforce and any recipients (foreign or domestic) of the newly created or modified tetragraph, once approved. b. Considerations. When proposing a new tetragraph, consider: (1) Frequency of use and stability of the associated membership list. The membership list should not change frequently (i.e., not more than twice a year). ( 2) Tetragraph devel opment. The proposed tetragraph must be four alphabetic characters; the same character may not be repeated four times (e.g., RRRR). It should not spell out an actual word and may not be close to or duplicate an approved tetragraph. (3) S ig nificant impacts to information systems if the request is approved and/or if the membership list changes. ( 4) Foreign disclosure office concerns and coordination. c. Request Requirements . Requests for new operational tetragraphs shall include: (1) Proposed tetragraph code and full title with classification level and foreign disclosure decision( s) associated with each, if classified. For classified tetragraphs, provide the appropriate classification authority block. (2) L ist of member countries or organizations in alphabetical order, with classification level and foreign disclosure decision if classified when associated with the tetragraph code or its title.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 16 ENCLOSURE 2 ( 3) A description of the intent or purpose for the tetragraph, and the impact(s) if the marking is not approved and how that will be addressed. Attach documentation that supports the request. ( 4) When the request is intended to remove a country from an existing tetragraph, a description of actions to be taken to prevent continued dissemination (including electronic dissemination) of classified information to a country that is no longer involved in the exchange and how continued protection of classified information already released will be ensured. ( 5) A detailed explanation of foreign disclosure office concerns, if any. If none, so state. ( 6) Requested date of incorporation into the CAPCO Register. ( 7) Identification of the point of contact, giving name, title, organization, phone number and e-mail address. The point of contact will be expected to provide responses to questions and to inform the DDI(CL&S), and CAPCO of any changes in status that impact the tetragraph’s listing.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 17 ENCLOSURE 3 ENCLOSURE 3 MARKING PRINCIPLES 1. MARKING REQUIREMENT. All classified information shall be identified clearly by marking, designation, or electronic labeling. If physical marking of the medium containing classified information is not possible, then identification must be accomplished by other means. The term “marking” includes other concepts of identifying the classification of the information. Markings, designations, and electronic labeling shall be conspicuous and immediately apparent and shall: a. A lert holders to the presence of classified information. b. Identify, as specifically as possible, the exact information needing protection and the level of protection required. c. Give information on the source(s) of and reasons for classification of the information. d. I dentify the office of origin and document originator applying the classification markings. e. Provide guidance on information sharing, and warn holders of special access, dissemination control, or safeguarding requirements. f. P rovide guidance on downgrading and declassification for classified information. 2. GENERAL GUIDELINES a. The proper marking of a classified document is the specific responsibility of the original or derivative classifier (i.e., the author or originator of the information). Derivative classifiers shall refer to the source document(s), security classification guide(s), or other guidance issued by the original classification authority (OCA) when determining the markings to apply. Security Classification Guides will be developed in accordance with DoDM 5200.45 (Reference (q)), and this Manual. b. The highest level of classified information contained in a document shall appear in a way that will distinguish it clearly from the informational text and shall be conspicuous enough to alert anyone handling the document that it is classified. c. T he holder of an improperly marked classified document shall contact the document originator to obtain correct markings and shall apply those marking as required. d. No classification or other security markings may be applied to any article or portion of an article that has appeared in a newspaper, magazine, or other public medium. If an article is

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 18 ENCLOSURE 3 e valuated to see if it contains classified information, record the results of the review separately. However, the article and the evaluation may be filed together. e. T o facilitate information sharing and declassification processes, whenever practicable a classified attachment, addendum, annex, enclosure, or similar section shall be used when classified information constitutes only a small portion of an otherwise unclassified document. Alternately, a separate product that permits dissemination at the lowest level of classification possible or in unclassified form may be prepared. f. If a classified document has components likely to be removed and used or maintained separately, mark each component as a separate document. Examples are annexes or appendices to plans, major parts of reports, or reference charts in a program directive. If an entire major component is unclassified, it may be marked on its face, top and bottom “UNCLASSIFIED,” and a statement added: “All portions of this (annex, appendix, etc.) are Unclassified.” No further markings are required on such a component. g. P articular attention must be given to information intended for display on websites authorized to host classified information to ensure that the information carries all appropriate markings. Since web technologies permit data access without viewing the initial and/or cover pages, page and portion markings are especially important to ensure users are alerted to the presence of classified information and the level of protection it requires. h. Metadata and/or other tags shall be applied to electronic data as required by DoDI 8320.02 (Reference (r)) and its implementing guidance. Metadata and tags shall be used to the greatest extent possible to facilitate electronic handling and dissemination of classified information. (1) Security metadata for classified electronic information shall, to the extent possible, identify the classification level and any control and dissemination caveats required. ( 2) Documents released in electronic format shall have their metadata and other electronic tags and labels reviewed for classified information prior to release. Metadata and other electronic tags and labels associated with information in electronic format shall be updated or deleted, as necessary, to reflect the actual classification and other attributes of declassified or downgraded information. Care must be taken to ensure the metadata accurately reflects the information it describes and that classified attributes are not released with unclassified data. 3. REQUIRED MARKINGS ON CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. All classified documents shall bear the information identified in this section; however, in exceptional cases specific information required by this section may be excluded if it reveals additional classified information. The information is to be shown using these marking elements: banner lines; portion marks; Component, office of origin, and date of origin; and classification authority block (OCA or derivative). Specific requirements for each marking element are discussed in sections 5 through 8 of this enclosure; the figures in this enclosure provide examples of correct usage. Material other than ordinary paper (and comparable electronic) documents shall have the same

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 19 ENCLOSURE 3 i nformation either marked on it or made immediately apparent to holders by another means. The required information is: a. T he overall classification of the document (i.e., Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret). b. Identification of the specific classified information in the document and its level of classification. c. Component, office of origin, and date of origin. d. Identification of the basis for classification of the information contained in the document and of the OCA or derivative classifier. e. D eclassification instructions and any downgrading instructions that apply. f. Ide ntification of special access, dissemination control, and handling or safeguarding requirements that apply. 4. SPECIAL NOTICES. In addition to the information specified by section 3 of this enclosure, special notices may be required for specific types or categories of information by this Manual or other DoD issuances. Unless another directive or legal authority prescribes different placement, these notices shall be placed on the face of the document. a. Technical data, as specified in DoDI 5230.24 (Reference (s), shall be marked with the distribution statements identified in section 24 of this enclosure. If determined to be export- controlled, the warning statement specified by Reference (s) shall be added. b. The special notice “COMSEC Material - Access by Contractor Personnel Restricted to U.S. Citizens Holding Final Government Clearance” shall be placed on the face of classified documents handled within the COMSEC Material Control System, when required by National Security Agency/Central Security Service Policy Manual 3/16 (Reference (t)). Apply it when the document is created. c. Other notices are identified in Enclosure 4 with the discussion of the associated marking for the specific type of information. Among the information requiring special notices are North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Restricted Data (RD), Formerly Restricted Data (FRD), Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information (CNWDI), For Official Use Only (FOUO), CUI, and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). d . When appropriate, classified information that is subject to specific limitations may be marked with notices such as: “Reproduction requires approval of originator or higher DoD authority.”

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 20 ENCLOSURE 3 5. BANNER LI NES a. The banner line shall specify the highest level of classification (Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret) of information contained within the document and the most restrictive control markings applicable to the overall document (hereafter referred to as “overall classification”). See Figure 1. (1) The highest level of classification is determined by the highest level of any one portion within the document. (2) The classification level in the banner line must be in English and spelled out completely. Only one classification level shall be used. (3) Any other control markings (e.g., dissemination control markings) included may be spelled out or abbreviated as shown in this Volume. (4) B anner line markings always use uppercase letters. Figure 1. Examples of Banner Markings

UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY TOP SECRET SECRET//REL TO USA, AUS, CAN, GBR TOP SECRET//SI/TK//RELIDO SECRET//FRD SECRET//ORCON/IMCON/NOFORN b. C onspicuously place the banner line at the top and bottom of the outside of the front cover if any), on the title page (if any), on the first page, and on the outside of the back cover (if any) r last page, of each classified document. Banner line markings are usually centered on the page. (1) The appropriate markings shall be printed, stamped, or otherwise affixed (with a ticker, tape, etc.) as specified. Material other than ordinary paper (and comparable electronic) ocuments must have the same information either marked on it or made immediately available to olders by another means. (See sections 16, 17, and 18 of this enclosure for additional uidance.) (2) If the document has no front cover, the first page shall be the front page. If it has a over, the first page is defined as the first page you see when you open the cover. In some ocuments, the title page and first page may be the same. ( o s d h g c d

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 21 ENCLOSURE 3 c. Each interior page of a classified document shall be marked with a banner line at the top and bottom of the page. Banner markings used on interior pages are also referred to as page markings. ( 1) The banner line on an interior page shall specify either the highest level of classification of information on that page or “UNCLASSIFIED” if there is no classified information on the page, along with the applicable control markings, or alternatively, all interior pages of the document may be marked with the overall classification of the document and any applicable control markings. ( 2) Use of page markings that specify the classif ication and control markings applicable to the information contained on that specific page requires extreme caution since: ( a) Edits or repagination may cause information of a different classification or requiring different or additional control markings to move to the page from the page before or the page after. (b) P ar agraphs may begin on one page and continue onto a second page, requiring the user to ensure that the page markings on the second page properly reflect the classification and control markings contained in the paragraph’s portion markings as stated on the first page. d. U.S. documents and other products containing foreign government information (FGI) shall carry an overall classification level of either the classification of the U.S. information or the U.S. equivalent of the FGI’s classification, whichever is higher. (See section 19 of this enclosure and section 9 of Enclosure 4 of this Volume for further guidance.) e. I t is optional to mark “UNCLASSIFIED” in the banner line of hard copy documents that are unclassified and bear no control markings, except as provided in subparagraph 17.b.(7) of this enclosure. f. Control markings are used in the banner line (and portion markings) to identify special control systems that provide additional access control or physical protection for the information or items covered by the program (e.g., SCI) or to identify the expansion or limitation on the distribution of information (i.e., dissemination controls). These markings are in addition to and separate from the level of classification. ( 1) In the banner line, double forward slashes (//) separate the classification level and control markings. (2 ) Multiple entries may be chosen from the control marking categories if applicable. If multiple entries are used, they are listed in the order in which they appear in Enclosure 4 and are separated by a single forward slash (/). 6. PORTION MARKS. E very classified document shall show, as clearly as is possible, which information in it is classified and at what level. Derivatively classified documents shall be portion marked in accordance with their source.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 22 ENCLOSURE 3 a. Every portion ( e.g., subject, title, paragraphs, sections, tabs, attachments, classified signature blocks, bullets, tables and pictures) in every classified document shall be marked to show the highest level of classification that it contains. When deciding whether a subportion is to be treated as a portion and separately marked, the criterion shall be whether the marking is necessary to avoid over-classification of any of the information or to eliminate doubt about the information’s classification level. If there are different levels of classification among a portion and any of its subportions, then all subportions shall be treated as individual portions and marked separately. b. Portion marking s shall be included at the beginning of the respective portion as this position affords maximum visibility to the reader. Thus, the classification level shown always applies to the text immediately to the right of the portion marking. c. To indicate the appropriate classification level, the symbols ‘‘(TS)’’ for Top Secret, ‘‘(S)’’ for Secret, and ‘‘(C)’’ for Confidential shall be used (see Figure 2). Portions which do not meet the standards for classification shall be marked with “(U)” for Unclassified. Figure 2. Examples of Portion Markings UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY (U) (C) (S) (TS) (U//FOUO) (S//NF/PROPIN ) (C//FRD) (//GBR S) (TS//SI/TK//RELIDO) (S//RD) (S//REL) (TS//REL TO USA, AUS, CAN, GBR) (S//RD-N) d. P ortion marks shall include any control markings applicable to the portion (see Figure 2). Within the portion marking, double forward slashes (//) shall separate classification and control markings. Single forward slashes (/) shall separate multiple control markings within the same category (see Enclosure 4, section 1). Hyphens (-) are used to separate control markings and their sub-controls. If multiple control markings are used, they are listed in the order in which they appear in Enclosure 4. e. Portion markings always use uppercase letters and are enclosed in parentheses. (1) For numbered or lettered paragraphs or subparagraphs, the portion marking goes after the number or letter, and before the text. (2) Portion markings for listings of references, enclosures, tabs, or attachments (e.g., as listed on memorandums or transmittal documents) shall be placed before the subject or title and shall indicate the classification of that subject or title, not the classification of the document. See section 15 of this enclosure for additional guidance and examples.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 23 ENCLOSURE 3 (3 ) Charts, graphs, photographs, illustrations, figures, drawings, and similar portions within classified documents must be marked to show their classification. The classification shall be based on the information contained in or revealed by the item. The portion marking shall be placed immediately preceding the chart, graph, etc., or within the item and shall be large enough to ensure viewers easily recognize it. Captions or titles of these portions must also be marked, as for text, and will indicate the classification of the caption or title, not of the portion (e.g., chart or graph) itself. The portion marking may be placed within the chart, graph, etc., and/or spelled out instead of being abbreviated when that more clearly identifies the classified status of the item. When possible, the marking should be integral to the item, so it is carried along with the item upon extraction. ( 4) A classified signature block shall be portion marked to reflect the highest classification level of the information contained within the signature block itself. f. If an exceptional situation makes individual markings of each portion clearly impracticable, a statement may be substituted describing which portions are classified and their level of classification. This statement shall identify the information as specifically as parenthetical portion marking. When classification is a result of compilation, the statement required by section 12 of this enclosure meets this requirement. A waiver is not required in these situations. g. E ach portion of an UNCLASSIFIED document that requires dissemination control shall be portion marked (e.g., (U//FOUO)) to show that it contains information requiring protection. Unclassified CUI will be marked in accordance with Volume 4 of this Manual. DoD Components that are elements of the IC shall mark those unclassified portions that do not require a dissemination control marking with the portion marking (U); other activities may, but are not required to, mark portions of unclassified documents that do not require dissemination control. However, if any portion not requiring dissemination control is marked “(U),” all portions of the document shall be marked. h. A document not portion marked based on an ISOO-approved waiver must: ( 1) Contain a warning which states that the document may NOT be used as a source for derivative classification. ( 2) Be portion marked when transmitted outside the originating organization, unless the ISOO waiver approval explicitly provides otherwise. 7. DO D COMPONENT , OFFICE, AND DATE OF ORIGIN. Every classified document shall show on the first page, title page, or front cover (hereafter referred to as “the face of the document”), the originating DoD Component and office and the date of the document’s origin. This information shall be clear enough to allow someone receiving the document to contact the preparing office if issues or questions about the classification arise. If not otherwise evident, the DoD Component and office of origin shall be identified and follow name and position on the ‘‘Classified By:’’ line.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 24 ENCLOSURE 3 8. CLASSIFICATION AUTHORITY BLOCK a. General Requirements . The classification authority block shall appear on the face of each classified U.S. document, except as provided in subparagraph 8.a.(3) of this section, and shall indicate the authority for the classification determination and the duration of classification (i.e., declassification and downgrading instructions). The authority for the classification determination may be either original or derivative. (1) The only requirement for the placement of the classification authority block is that it be on the face of the document. While placement on the bottom left of the page is most typical, whether it is placed on the right or left side or appears as one line is determined by available space. The classification authority block on electronic e-mails, messages, web pages and similar electronic material may appear as a single line of text (also see section 17). (2) The standard format YYYYMMDD shall be used when specifying dates in the classification authority block. ( 3) Include a “Declassify On:” line on the face of each classified U.S. Government document, except those containing RD or FRD. Documents containing both RD or FRD information and national security information (NSI) must include a “Declassify On:” line annotated as follows: “Not Applicable (or N/A) to RD/FRD portions” and “See source list for NSI portions.” The source list, which must be included and shall not be listed on the first page, must show the declassification instructions for each of the NSI sources. Do not mark documents containing only RD or FRD with declassification instructions. ( 4) Downgrading instructions are not required for every classified document, but must be placed on the face of each document to which they apply. A downgrading instruction is used in addition to, and not as a substitute for, declassification instructions. Downgrading instructions shall not be applied to documents containing FGI, RD, or FRD. b. Original Classification (1) On the face of each originally classified document (see Figure 3), regardless of the media, the OCA shall apply these classification authority block markings: (a) Classified By: List name and position title or personal identifier of the OCA. Include the DoD Component and office of origin if not otherwise evident. (b) Reason: Cite the reason for classification. (c) Downgrade To: If applicable, identify the lower level of classification at which the document should be safeguarded and date or independently verifiable event upon which the downgrading should take place. Note that a downgrading instruction is used in addition to, and not as a substitute for, declassification instructions.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 25 ENCLOSURE 3 (d) Declassify On: Specify the date or independently verifiable event for declassification or, as provided in subparagraph 8.b.(5) of this section, an approved exemption category. (2) Identify the OCA by name and position title or personal identifier. If the information normally included on the “Classified By:” line would reveal classified information not evident from the rest of the document, complete the “Classified By:” line with an unclassified personal identifier that can be traced through secure channels. (3) If some information was originally classified at the time of preparation of the document and other information was derivatively classified, use the markings required for derivative classification. Identify the OCA by name and position title or personal identifier on the “Classified By:” line. Place “Multiple Sources” on the “Derived From:” line and maintain a record of the sources on or with the document. As part of that record, cite as one of the sources “Originally Classified Information” and identify the OCA and provide all information required for an original classification decision (i.e., provide the full classification authority block for the originally classified information). (4) Identify the reason for classification by citation of the number “1.4” plus the letter(s) that corresponds to the appropriate category of information listed in section 1.4 of Reference (d). The OCA shall additionally provide a more detailed explanation of the reason for classification when that is not apparent from the content of the information (e.g., when classified by compilation). The categories, lettered as they appear in section 1.4 of Reference (d), are: (a) Military plans, weapons systems, or operations. (b) Foreign government information. (c) Intelligence activities (including covert action), intelligence sources or methods, or cryptology. (d) Foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources. (e) Scientific, technological, or economic matters relating to the national security. (f) U.S. Government programs for safeguarding nuclear materials or facilities. (g) Vulnerabilities or capabilities of systems, installations, infrastructures, projects, plans, or protection services relating to the national security. (h) The development, production, or use of weapons of mass destruction.

(a) The declassification instruction shall specify: 1. A date or independently verifiable event less than 10 years from the date of the original classification; 2. A date 10 years from the date of the original classification; 3. A date or independently verifiable event greater than 10 and less than 25 years from the date of the original classification; 4. A date 25 years from the date of the original classification; 5. “ 50X1-HUM” for information that is clearly and demonstrably expected to reveal the identity of a confidential human source or a human intelligence source (do not include a declassification date or event); or 6. “ 50X2-WMD” for information that is clearly and demonstrably expected to reveal key design concepts of weapons of mass destruction (do not include a declassification date or event). 7. “25X” with date or event, designating a duration of up to 50 years from the date of original classification,* when classifying information that clearly falls within an exemption from automatic declassification at 25 years that has previously been approved by the ISCAP. ( b) For originally classified documents, the date of the original classification decision is the date of the document. (c) T he “Declassify On:” line for originally classified information may specify an exemption category (e.g., 25X1 through 25X9), with date or event, only when the originally classified information clearly falls under a pre-existing Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) approved exemption. See Volume 1, Enclosure 5, sections 13 through 15, of this Manual for additional information on exemptions. Include, following identification of the exemption category, the specific ISCAP-approved date or event for declassification. c.

Note that a downgrading instruction is used in addition to, and not as a substitute for, declassification instructions.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 30 ENCLOSURE 3 (d) Declassify On: Specify the date or event for declassification, exemption category with date or event for declassification, or other declassification instruction corresponding to the longest period of classification among the source document(s), security classification guide(s), and other applicable classification guidance issued by the OCA. (2) When multiple sources (i.e., more than one security classification guide, source document, or combination of these) are used to produce a derivatively classified document: (a) The “Derived From:” line shall state “Multiple Sources.” (b) The list of multiple sources shall be included with or annotated on the derivative document. If the document has a bibliography or reference list, this may be used as the list of sources. Annotate it to distinguish the sources of classification from other references. ( 3) When a document is derivatively classified on the basis of a single source document that is itself marked “Derived From: Multiple Sources,” the “Derived From:” line shall cite the specific source document, not “Multiple Sources.” ( 4) If a security classification guide is used to determine the declassification date of a derivatively classified document, use the declassification instructions provided by the OCA. A date derived or calculated in accordance with instructions in the guide shall not exceed 25 years from the date of the creation of the derivative document, except for information that would reveal the identity of a confidential human source or a human intelligence source or key design concepts of weapons of mass destruction, or for which the guide cites an authorized exemption category. For example, if the guide specifies duration of “25 years,” the declassification date is 25 years from the date of the creation of the derivative document. ( 5) If all the information in the document has the SAME declassification instruction assigned, place that instruction on the “Declassify On:” line. The allowable options are a date for declassification, an event for declassification, an exemption marking with associated date or event for declassification, or the markings “50X1-HUM” or “50X2-WMD.” ( 6) If the document is classified by “multiple sources” and different declassification instructions apply to information included, determine the MOST RESTRICTIVE declassification instruction that applies to any of the source information (i.e., the one farthest in the future giving the longest period for classification) and place it on the “Declassify On:” line. This will ensure all of the information in the document is protected for as long as necessary. The guidance in the subparagraphs below typically provides the most restrictive date and the longest period for classification, but in some specific cases (e.g., for some 25X instructions) the hierarchy specified may not provide the correct results. In ALL cases, one must determine the period of classification for each source document and select the MOST RESTRICTIVE declassification instruction to carry forward. ( a) When determining the most restrictive declassification instruction, this hierarchy applies:

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 31 ENCLOSURE 3 1. An ISCAP approved 75-year exemption (i.e., 75X1 through 75X9) with date or event for declassification. 2. 50X 1-HUM or 50X2-WMD. 3. An ISCAP approved 50-year exemption (i.e., 50X1 through 50X9) with date or event for declassification. 4. An ISCAP approved 25-year exemption (i.e., 25X1 through 25X9) with a date or event for declassification. 5. A specific date or event for declassification, within 25 years of the creation of the derivative document. 6. Abs ent a declassification instruction or other declassification guidance from the OCA, a calculated date 25 years from the date of the creation of the derivative document in accordance with subparagraph 8.c.(7) of this section. (b ) If declassification dates are specified for all of the source documents, place the LATEST date (i.e., the date farthest in the future) on the “Declassify On:” line. (Example: If the information is extracted from documents marked for declassification on 20110320 (i.e., March 20, 2011), 20120601 (i.e., June 1, 2012) and 20150403 (i.e., April 3, 2015), use “Declassify On: 20150403.”) (c) If the sources of classification indicate a combination of date(s) and event(s), indicate that declassification should occur on the latest date or the occurrence of the event(s), whichever is later. (Example: One source specifies “Declassify On: 20140803”; the other is marked “Declassify On: Completion of tests.” Mark the derivatively classified document “Declassify On: 20140803 or Completion of tests, whichever is later.”) (d) When necessary, use the date or event for declassification associated with a 25, 50, or 75-year exemption to determine which marking is the most restrictive. Where an exemption marking is determined to be the most restrictive, also carry forward the associated date or event for declassification. ( 7) If a document does not specify a definitive date or event for declassification or an exemption category, determine its declassification date in accordance with this subparagraph and use that date when determining the most restrictive declassification instruction. Carry forward the calculated date to the “Declassify On:” line when it is determined to be the most restrictive. ( a) If the source document, classification guide, or other guidance from the OCA does not specify a declassification instruction, use a date of 25 years from the date of the creation of the derivative document.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 32 ENCLOSURE 3 (b ) If the source document is missing b oth a declassification instruction and the date of its origin and there is no other guidance from the OCA, use a date of 25 years from the creation of the derivative document. (8) Follow the guidance in section 9 of this enclosure, when the source document or classification guide contains any of these declassification instructions: “Originating Agency’s Determination Required,” “OADR,” “Source marked OADR,” “Manual Review,” “MR,” Source marked MR,” “DCI Only,” “DNI Only,” or any of the markings “X1,” “X2,” “X3,” “X4,” “X5,” “X6,” “X7,” or “X8,” or “Source marked X1” or any of the other markings “X2” through “X8.” This also applies when these declassification instructions are used with “Source Marked:” and “Date of Source: [date].” (9) Carry over the declassification instruction “50X1-human” from the source document to the derivative document. d. Examples. Figures 5 through 7 provide examples of the required markings on various types of documents.

T he “Derived From:” line or, if multiple sources are used, the listing of source documents shall identify the date of the source document(s), as required by subparagraph 8.c.(1)(b) of this enclosure. c. If imagery subject to E.O. 12951 (Reference (u)) is marked with the declassification instruction “DCI Only” or “DNI Only,” use “25X1, E.O. 12951” as the declassification instruction. (Contact the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Classification Management Office (NGA/SISCC) for assistance in determining whether specific imagery is subject to E.O. 12951.) d. If a security classification guide calls for the use of any of the listed declassification instructions, the procedure in paragraph 9.a. of this section shall be followed. Additionally, the holder of the classification guide should request updated guidance from the OCA, as all classification guides should reflect the requirements of References (d) and (f) and those that do not must be updated immediately. e. When using multiple sources of information all of whose declassification dates must be calculated, the “Declassify On:” line shall be calculated using the source with the MOST RECENT DATE. (Example: In the case of three source documents, one marked “OADR” and dated September 2, 1990, one marked “MR” and dated December 3, 1992, and one marked “X3” and dated October 15, 1995, the most recent date is October 15, 1995. Mark the derivative document “Declassify On: 20201015.”) 10. MARKINGS FOR CHANGES IN CLASSIFICATION a. Confirmation of Change. When a document or item of material is marked for downgrading or declassification on a date or event, the holder shall, prior to downgrading, declassification, or removal of classification markings, confirm that the OCA for the information has not extended the classification period. This can be done by reference to a security classification or declassification guide or by consultation with the OCA. b. Declassification. See section 11 of this enclosure for guidance on marking declassified information. Volume 1, Enclosure 5 provides additional guidance on declassification of information. c. Downgrading. Cancel (i.e., line through) old classification markings and substitute the new ones when a document is downgraded according to its markings. For bulky documents, where changing all old markings is not practical, as a minimum, the markings on the cover (if one exists), title page (if one exists), and the first page shall be changed.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 38 ENCLOSURE 3 d. Downgrading or Declassification Earlier Than Scheduled . If a document is downgraded or declassified earlier than indicated by its markings, the guidance in paragraph 10.c or section 11, as appropriate, of this enclosure shall be followed. In addition, place this information on the document: ( 1) The date of the downgrading or declassification re- marking. ( 2) The authority for the action (e.g., the identity of the OCA who directed the action or identification of the security classification guidance or instruction that required the action). When possible file a copy of the correspondence authorizing the early downgrading or declassification with the document. e. Upgrading. If a document is upgraded, all classification markings affected by the upgrading shall be changed to the new markings. Also, place on the document: ( 1) The date of the re-marking. ( 2) The authority for the action (e.g., the identity of the OCA who directed the action, or identification of the correspondence or classification instruction that required it). f. Extension of Classification. If information has been marked for declassification on a specific date or event and the duration of classification is subsequently extended, then: ( 1) The “Declassify On:” line shall be changed to show the new declassification instructions. ( 2) A notation shall be included on the front cover or first page indicating the identity of the OCA authorizing the extension or identification of the correspondence or classification instruction requiring it, and the date of the action. g. Reclassification. Previously declassified information may be reclassified only in compliance with the requirements of paragraph 16.b of Enclosure 4 of Volume 1 of this Manual. When reclassified, information shall be re-marked to clearly provide: (1) New overall classification markings and portion markings to replace those that had been cancelled. (2) A new classification authority block (i.e., identification of the OCA, reason for classification, and declassification instructions). (3) The date the reclassification action was taken. h. Bulk Changes. If the volume of material involved in a downgrading, upgrading, or declassification action is so large that individually re-marking each item may cause serious interference with operations, the custodian may attach a notice to the inside of the storage unit

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 39 ENCLOSURE 3 pr oviding the information required by this section or section 11 of this enclosure, as applicable. When individual documents are removed from the storage unit for use, they shall be marked in the manner prescribed. If documents are removed for transfer to another storage unit, they need not be re-marked if a proper notice is also posted to the new storage unit. 11. DECLASSIFICATION MARKINGS a. O nce the holder has confirmed that the OCA for the information has not extended the classification period, information may be declassified according to markings on the document or material. (1) T he standard markings specified in paragraph 11.b of this enclosure shall be applied to declassified information, regardless of media, in accordance with section 1.6(h) of Reference (d) and section 2001.25 of Reference (f). The marking of declassified information shall not deviate from the prescribed formats unless a waiver has been approved by ISOO. Such requests shall be submitted through DDI (CL&S), in accordance with Enclosure 2, section 3. (2) I f declassification markings cannot be affixed to specific information or materials (e.g., information in some IT systems, special media, or microfilm), the originator shall provide holders or recipients of the information with written declassification instructions. (3) Markings shall be uniformly and conspicuously applied or attached to leave no doubt about the declassified status of the information and who authorized the declassification. b. When re-marking a document that has been declassified (see Figure 9), make sure these markings are applied: ( 1) The word, “Declassified .” (2 ) The name and position title, or personal identifier, of the declassification authority or title and date of the declassification guide. If the identity of the declassification authority is classified, a personal identifier may be used. (3 ) The date of declassification. (4 ) The overall classification markings that appear on the cover page or first page are lined through with an “X” or straight line. c. Page and portion markings on the document should also be canceled and, where practical, portion marks replaced with “(U).” Lining through the markings is sufficient to meet this requirement. For a bulky document, where canceling each page and/or portion marking is not practical, cancel, at a minimum, the markings on the front and back cover (if they exist), title page (if one exists), and the first page.

Declassified information shall not be released to the public until a review as required by Do DD 5230.09 (Reference (v)) and DoDI 5230.29 (Reference (w)) has been conducted to determine if there are other reasons preventing the release of the information. Regardless of the date specified for declassification, declassified information shall not be approved for public release without referral to the OCA of the information, except records accessioned by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that were reviewed for automatic declassification in accordance with section 3.3 of Reference (d). Those records will be reviewed by NARA for public release. 12. CLASSIFICATION AS A RESULT OF COMPILATION. Classification as a result of compilation occurs when unclassified elements of information are combined and the compilation reveals classified information, or when classified elements are combined and the compilation

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 41 ENCLOSURE 3 reveals information at a higher classification level than the individual elements. See Figure 10 for an example of marking information classified as a result of compilation. a. Mark each portion with the classification appropriate for the information contained within the portion. b. The banner marking for the document and all pages shall be the overall classification of the compilation. The overall classification shall be marked conspicuously at the top and bottom of each page and on the outside of the front and back covers. c. An explanation for the classification as a result of compilation shall be provided on the “Classified By:” or “Derived From:” line or within the document. The explanation must clearly describe the circumstances under which the individual portions constitute a classified compilation, and when they do not. The explanation shall be portion marked as needed. Where specific classification guidance is provided (instead of citing the document providing the guidance), it is to be protected, using the appropriate classification or CUI marking. 13. WORKING PAPERS a. Working papers are documents and material accumulated or created in the preparation of finished documents and material. Working papers are marked in the same manner as a finished document at the same classification level when released by the originator outside the originating activity, retained more than 180 days from date of origin (30 days for SAPs), or filed permanently. b. Working papers shall be marked as shown in Figure 11. c. E -mail, blog and wiki entries, bulletin board posting, and other electronic messages transmitted within or external to the originating activity shall be marked as required for finished documents, not as working papers (see section 17 of this enclosure). 14. REFERENCES. When marking references and other similar lists (e.g., list of enclosures or attachments), the portion markings precede the title and indicate classification of the title, not the classification of the document. If the author wants to annotate the classification of the referenced document, a note may be included after the title as shown in Figure 12.

TRANSMITTAL DOCUMENTS. Transmittal documents are documents that have information enclosed with or attached to them. An example is a letter, memo, or staff summary sheet with classified enclosures. The transmittal document itself may or may not contain classified information. a. If the transmittal document does not contain classified information, mark the banner line with the highest classification level of any information transmitted by it. Also mark the transmittal document with an appropriate instruction indicating that it is unclassified when

( 1) If any dissemination control markings apply to the transmittal document or any enclosure, include them on the banner line of the transmittal document. ( 2) Unclassified transmittal documents do not require portion marking or a classification authority block. ( 3) It is not necessary to use a banner line on interior pages of an unclassified transmittal document. (4 ) If any special notice (e.g., NATO, RD, FRD, or export control) applies to the transmittal document or the enclosure(s), include a statement on the face of the transmittal document highlighting inclusion of the information. Unless directed otherwise by applicable policy or regulation, a statement similar to “Document transmitted herewith contains [level of classification] RESTRICTED DATA” or “This document contains NATO [level of classification] information” will suffice. ( 5) All of the marking required by section 3 of this enclosure, including classification authority block, shall appear on the classified enclosure(s) or attachment(s). b . If the transmittal document itself contains classified information, mark it as required for all other classified information, including portion markings, classification authority block, and the full text of any applicable special notices, except: ( 1) Mark the banner line of the transmittal document with the highest classification level of any information contained in the transmittal document or its enclosures. ( 2) Mark the transmittal document with an appropriate instruction indicating its overall classification level if the level will change when the enclosures are removed (e.g., “Downgrade to CONFIDENTIAL when separated from Secret enclosures”).

All slides in classified briefings shall be marked as required for text documents (see Figures 14 and 15). a. The first slide shall contain the overall classification of the presentation. The remaining slides shall be marked either with the overall classification or with the classification of the individual slide. The marking shall be large enough to ensure viewers easily recognize it. b. The classification authority block shall be placed on the first or, less preferred, last slide. It is required only once. c. When content of briefing slides is derived from “Multiple Sources,” place the list of sources on the first or last slide. See Figure 15 for an example. d. All content of briefing slides, including bullets, captions, titles, and embedded graphs, charts and figures, shall be portion marked. Both classified and unclassified portions must be marked. Consistent portion marking will allow portions to be removed and placed in other documents without the danger of losing the classification level assigned to that portion. When marking charts, graphics or figures, the marking shall indicate the classification of the portion (e.g., bullet, caption, or title), not of the chart itself. e. Hidden slides and speaker’s notes included as part of electronic briefings must be evaluated when making the overall classification determination. Hidden slides and speaker’s notes shall be marked to reflect the classification of each portion and highest classification of each slide or page in the same manner as other parts of the presentation. Unclassified briefing slides may have classified speaker’s notes which are not apparent in the typical display modes. Thus it is imperative that one always check for and evaluate any notes or hidden slides to ensure the proper classification is applied to each slide and to the briefing as a whole. Downgrading instructions such as “Downgrade to Unclassified upon removal of speaker’s notes” may be used as appropriate. f. O n complex slides where portion marking everything would be difficult and would detract from the information on the slide, use the following guidelines: ( 1) When all portions are classified at the same level, mark only the overall classification on the slide. This indicates that everything on the slide is classified at that level. ( 2) When a majority of the portions are classified, mark t he overall classification of the slide, indicate the classification of the majority of the portions (e.g., “All portions are classified SECRET unless otherwise marked.”), and portion mark the exceptions. ( 3) When a majority of the portions are unclassified, mark the overall classification of the slide, indicate that the majority of the portions are unclassified (e.g., All portions are UNCLASSIFIED unless otherwise marked.”), and portion mark the classified portions.

MARKING IN THE ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT a. General Guidance. Where special provisions for marking some types of classified computer-generated information are needed, the requirement remains to identify as clearly as possible the information that requires protection and the level of protection it requires, and to make available either on the item or by other means, the other required information. (1) Classified information resident in an electronic environment is subject to all of the requirements of Reference (d) and shall be: (a) Marked with the required classification markings to the extent that such markings are practical, including banner line with overall classification and control markings, portion markings, and classification authority block. (b) Marked with the required classification markings when appearing in or as part of an electronic output (e.g. database query) so that users of the information will be alerted to the classification status of the information. (c) Marked in accordance with derivative classification procedures (see paragraph 8.c of this enclosure), maintaining traceability of classification decisions to the OCA. In cases where classified information in an electronic environment cannot be marked in this manner, a warning shall be applied to alert users that the information may NOT be used as a source for derivative classification and providing a point of contact and instructions on how to obtain further guidance on use and classification of the information. (d) Prohibited for use as source of derivative classification if the information is dynamic in nature (e.g. wikis and blogs) and is not marked as required by References (d) and (f) and this Volume.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 49 ENCLOSURE 3 (2) All e-mail, blog and wiki entries, bulletin board posting, and other electronic messages shall be marked as finished documents, in accordance with the requirements of this section, due to the originator’s inability to control retention and redistribution once transmitted. They shall not be marked as working papers. (3) Some organizations use automated tools to mark electronic messages (e.g., organizational messages, e-mails, and text or instant messages). It remains the individual’s responsibility to properly mark classified messages, including banner marking, portion markings, and classification authority block when an automated tool is used. ( 4) Where fan -folded printouts are still used, classification markings on interior pages may be applied by the information system or equipment even though the markings may not meet the normal test of being conspicuous. Dissemination control markings and the classification authority block shall either be marked on the face of the document or be placed on a separate sheet of paper attached to the front of the document. Segments of such printouts removed for separate use or maintenance shall be marked as individual documents. b. E- Ma il Messages (1) E-mail transmitted on or prepared for transmission on classified systems or networks shall display the banner line at the top and bottom of the body of each message. A single linear text string showing the overall classification, to include dissemination and control markings, shall be included as the first line of text and at the end of the body of the message after the signature block (see Figure 16). (2) The banner marking for the e-mail shall reflect the classification of the header and body of the message. This includes the subject line, the text of the e-mail, any classified signature block, attachments, included messages, and any other information conveyed in the body of the e-mail. (3) Classified e-mail shall be portion marked. Each portion shall be marked to reflect the highest level of information contained in that portion. A text portion containing a uniform resource locator (URL) or reference (i.e., link) to another document shall be portion marked based on the classification of the content of the URL or link text, not the content to which it points. This is true even when the data accessible via the URL or link reflects a higher classification marking. (4) T he subject line’s portion marking shall show the classification of the subject line itself, not the overall classification of the e-mail. The subject line portion marking shall reflect the sensitivity of the subject alone and shall not consider the sensitivity of the e-mail content or attachments. Subject lines and titles shall be portion marked before the subject or title.

Most titles should be unclassified, but this example shows an attachment with a classified title. Portion Mark (5) The classification authority block shall be placed after the signature block, but before the banner line at the bottom of the e-mail. The block may optionally appear as a single linear text string instead of the traditional three line format. (6) When forwarding or replying to an e-mail, individuals shall ensure that the markings used reflect the classification markings for all the content present in the resulting message and any attachments. This will include any newly drafted material, material received from previous senders, and any attachments. (7) For unclassified e-mails or other messages transmitted over a classified system, the designation “UNCLASSIFIED” shall be conspicuously placed within the banner line and any

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 51 ENCLOSURE 3 di ssemination controls, such as “FOUO” or “PROPIN” (Proprietary Information), that may apply shall be included. (8) E -m ails used as transmittal documents shall be marked as required by section 15 of this enclosure. Place the instruction indicating the e-mail’s overall classification level when separated from its enclosures just above the banner line at the bottom of the message. c. Web Pages (1) Web pages shall be classified and marked based on their own content regardless of the classification of the pages to which they link. Information to which the web page links shall also be marked based on its own content. (2) The banner marking for a web page shall reflect the overall classification markings and any dissemination control or handling markings for the information on that page. Linear text appearing on both the top and bottom of the page is acceptable. (3) I f any graphical representation (e.g., picture, chart, diagram or other graphic) is utilized, a text equivalent of the overall classification marking string shall be included in the hypertext statement and page metadata. This will enable users without graphic display to be aware of the classification level of the page and allows for the use of text translators. (4) Classified web pages shall be portion marked. Each portion shall be marked to reflect the highest level of information contained in that portion. A portion containing a URL or reference to another document shall be portion marked based on the classification of the content of the URL itself, even if the content to which it points requires a higher classification marking. (5) Classified web pages shall include a classification authority block which may be placed at either the top or bottom of the page. The classification authority block may appear as single linear text string instead of the traditional appearance of three lines of text. ( 6) Electronic media files such as video, audio, images, or slides sha ll carry the overall classification and classification authority block, unless the addition of such information would render them inoperable. In such cases, another procedure or method shall be used to ensure recipients are aware of the classification status of the information and the declassification instructions. d . URLs. URLs provide unique electronic addresses for web content and shall be portion marked, as appropriate, based on the classification of the content of the URL itself. The URL shall NOT be portion marked to reflect the classification of the content to which it points. URLs shall be developed at an unclassified level whenever possible. When a URL is classified, a portion mark shall be used in the text of the URL string in a way that does not make the URL inoperable to identify the URL as a classified portion in any textual references to that URL (see Figure 17). Additionally, any textual portion in which the URL is embedded must also be appropriately portion marked (see Figure 18).

Dynamic Documents (1) A dynamic document or page contains electronic information derived from a changeable source or ad hoc query, such as a relational database. The classification, and therefore the classification markings, for the information returned may vary depending upon the specific request. (2) If there is a mechanism for determining the actual classification markings for dynamic documents, the appropriate classification markings shall be applied to and displayed on the document. (3) I f such a mechanism does not exist, the highest classification level of information within the data source (e.g., database) shall be used and a warning shall be applied at the top of each page of the document. Such content shall NOT be used as a basis for derivative classification. An example of such a warning is shown in Figure 19. (a) The warning is to alert users that there may be elements of information that may be either unclassified or classified at a lower level than the highest possible classification of the information returned. (b) Users should consult classification guide(s) and/or the data source owner (i.e., the organization with primary responsibility for the content of the database or other data source) or the specified point of contact for the classification of individual elements in order to avoid unnecessary or over-classification and/or other impediments to information sharing. (c) The data source owner shall ensure classification guidance and points of contact are available to assist users with these inquiries.

Warning Statement for Dynamic Documents This content is classified at the [insert highest classification level of the source data] level and may contain elements of information that are unclassified or classified at a lower level than the overall classification displayed. This content shall not be used as a source of derivative classification; refer instead to [cite specific reference, where possible, or state “the applicable classification guide(s)”]. [Add a point of contact when needed.] (4) Users developing a document based on or incorporating query results from a database must properly mark the document in accordance with the requirements of this enclosure. If there is doubt about the correct markings, users should contact the data source owner for guidance. f. Bulletin Board Postings and Blogs (1) A blog, an abbreviation of the term “web log,” is a website consisting of a series of entries, often commentary, description of events, or other material such as graphics or video, created by the same individual as in a journal or by many individuals. While the content of the overall blog is dynamic, individual entries are generally static in nature. (2) The overall classification marking for every bulletin board or blog shall reflect the overall classification for the highest level of information allowed in that space. Linear text appearing on both the top and bottom of the page is acceptable. Individual postings or entries shall be additionally marked as required in subparagraph 17.f.(4) of this section. (3) Subject lines of bulletin board postings, blog entries, or comments shall be portion marked to reflect the sensitivity of the information in the subject line itself, not the content of the post. (4) Each individual bulletin board posting, blog entry, comment, or similar item shall have its own banner line reflecting the overall classification, including dissemination controls, of the subject line of the posting, the text of the posting, and any other information in the posting. The banner line shall be entered, manually or utilizing an electronic classification tool, in the first line of text and at the end of the body of the posting. These markings may appear as a single line of linear text. (5) Bulletin board postings, blog entries, comments, or similar items shall be portion marked. Each portion shall be marked to reflect the level of information contained in that portion. g. Wikis. A wiki is a web site that allows users to make changes, contributions, or corrections. Wikis may be classified or unclassified; users must be careful not to post classified information on unclassified sites.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 54 ENCLOSURE 3 (1) I nitial submissions to classified wikis shall include the overall classification marking, portion marking, and the classification authority block in the same manner as described in paragraph 17.f. of this section for bulletin boards and blogs. All of these may appear as single line text. (2) When users modify existing entries which alter the classification level of the content or add new content, they shall change the required markings to reflect the classification markings for the resulting information. The IT system shall provide a means to log the identity of each user, the changes made, and the date and time of each change to a classified wiki. (3) Wiki articles and entries on classified wikis shall be portion marked. Each portion shall be marked to reflect the level of information contained in that portion. h. I nstant Messaging, Chat, and Chat Rooms (1 ) Instant messages and chat conversations generally consist of brief textual messages but may also include URLs, images, or graphics. Chat discussions captured for retention or printing shall be marked at the top and bottom of each page with the overall classification reflecting all of the information within the discussion and, for classified discussions, portion markings and the classification authority block shall also appear. (2 ) Chat rooms shall display system-high overall classification markings (i.e., the highest level of classification allowed to be on the system in accordance with the accreditation of the system being used) and shall contain instructions informing users that the information may not be used as a source for derivative classification unless it is portion marked, contains an overall classification marking, and a classification authority block. i. Attached Files. When files are attached to another electronic message or document the overall classification of the message or document shall account for the classification level of the attachment and the message or document shall be marked in accordance with section 15 of this enclosure. 18. SPECIAL TYPES OF MATERIALS a. General Guidance. When classified information is contained in computer or other electronic media, audiovisual media, chart and maps, or other media (including hardware, equipment, and facilities) not commonly thought of as documents, the requirement remains to identify as clearly as possible the information that requires protection, the level of protection required and its duration. The main concern is that holders and users of the material are clearly notified of the presence of classified information. The marking required by section 3 of this enclosure shall be applied in the same fashion as for documents, to the extent feasible. If it is not feasible to mark such information, an explanatory statement shall be included on or with the information that explains exactly what information is and is not classified. Other markings normally required for classified documents (see section 3 of this enclosure) shall also be made available, either on the item or in documentation that accompanies it. When information is

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 55 ENCLOSURE 3 expected to be rendered in multiple media or formats, consider confirming that the classification markings are readable in all expected forms (e.g., when displayed on workstations, when projected, when printed, when converted to different file types). Particular requirements and exceptions are noted in the remainder of this section. b. Blueprints, Engineering Drawings, Charts, and Maps . Mark blueprints, engineering drawings, charts, maps, and similar items not embedded in a classified document with the appropriate overall classification and dissemination control markings. The classification marking shall be unabbreviated, conspicuous, and applied top and bottom, if possible, in such a manner as to ensure reproduction on any copies. The legend or title shall also be portion marked to show classification of the legend or title. If the blueprints, maps, and other items are large enough that they are likely to be rolled or folded, the classification markings shall be placed to be visible when the item is rolled or folded. See Figures 20 and 21 for examples. Figure 20. Markings on Maps UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY SECRET SECRET Classified By: T.

Photographic Media (1) Mark photographs and negatives with the overall classification and dissemination control markings applicable to information they contain (see Figure 22). Mark photographs on the face, if possible. If this cannot be done, the classification and dissemination control markings may be placed on the reverse side. Place other required markings on photographs along with the classification marking, or include them in accompanying documentation. Digital photographs may be edited to overlay markings on the face of the photograph. (2) Mark roll negatives and positives, and other film containing classified information with their overall classification and any dissemination control markings. These markings shall be placed on the film itself, if possible, and on the canister, if one is used. If placed on the film itself, the marking shall be placed at both the beginning and end of the roll. (3) Mark slides and transparencies with the overall classification and any control markings on the image area of the item and also on the border, holder, or frame. Place other required security markings on the first slide or transparency in a set in the image area; on the border, holder, or frame; or in documentation accompanying the item. These additional markings are not needed on the other slides or transparencies; however, slides or transparencies that are permanently removed from a set shall be marked as a separate document. Information on the image area of each slide or transparency shall be portion marked in accordance with section 6 of this enclosure.

Other required security markings shall be placed at the beginning of the presentation. Discs, reels, and cassettes shall be marked with the overall classification of the item. When stored in a container, the container shall be marked with the overall classification, applicable dissemination control markings, and other required markings in accordance with section 3 of this enclosure. e. Sound Recordings. Place an audible statement of overall classification and dissemination control requirements at the beginning and end of sound recordings. Reels or cassettes shall be marked with the overall classification and any required dissemination control markings and stored appropriately. When stored in a container, the container shall be marked with the overall classification, applicable dissemination control markings, and other required markings in accordance with section 3 of this enclosure. f. Microfilm, Microfiche, and Similar Microform Media. Mark microfilm, microfiche, and similar microform media with their overall classification and applicable control markings in the

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 58 ENCLOSURE 3 image area that can be read or copied. Such media shall have this marking applied so it is visible to the unaided eye. Other required security markings shall be placed (in accordance with section 3 of this enclosure) on the item or included in accompanying documentation. Any containers shall contain all required markings, except no markings are required if the container is transparent and markings on the media itself are clearly visible. g. Removable Electronic Storage Media. Conspicuously mark removable storage media used with computers, IT systems, and other electronic devices (see Figure 23). (Examples of such media include, but are not limited to, compact discs, DVDs, removable hard disks, flash or “thumb” drives, magnetic tape reels, disk packs, floppy disks and diskettes, disk cartridges, optical discs, paper tape, magnetic cards, memory chips, and tape cassettes and micro-cassettes.) Internal media identification will include security markings in a form suitable for the media. All such devices bearing classified information must be conspicuously marked with the highest level of classification of information stored on the device and any dissemination control notices that apply to the information. (1) Use SFs 706, 707, 708, or 710, as appropriate, to identify the highest level of classified information stored on IT systems and removable IT storage media, if not otherwise marked. Where size or technology preclude affixing the labels to the removable device itself (e.g., memory chips), the label may be affixed to the sleeve or container in which the device is stored. Remove SFs 706, 707, 708, or 710 labels from computers or other IT systems that use removable classified storage devices (see paragraph 18.g in this enclosure for a list of examples) when those computers or systems are no longer used to process classified media and when the computer or system does not have any residual memory or buffers that may still contain classified information. (2) Other information normally provided by document markings (e.g., classification authority block) shall be available as follows: (a) If the required information is stored in readily accessible format on the device, it does not have to be marked on the outside of the device. As an example, if classified files or documents prepared on an IT system are stored on a DVD or compact disc, and each file bears its own declassification instructions, the disc does not need to be marked with declassification instruction. This is true with respect to most removable media containing classified text files and documents, even though a few of them may not have all of the prescribed markings. (b) If the required information is not stored in readily accessible format on the device, it shall be marked on the outside of the device (normally with a sticker or tag) or placed on documents kept with the device.

Many of the governments also have a fourth classification marking, RESTRICTED, for which there is no U.S. equivalent. NATO has a fifth category of controlled information, NATO UNCLASSIFIED.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 60 ENCLOSURE 3 S ome governments also have unclassified information protected by law or national regulations that is treated, and provided to other governments, as “in confidence” information. b. Bilateral security agreements and arrangements with other governments and NATO, as well as Reference (d), require that FGI retain its original foreign government classification markings, or be marked with a U.S. classification marking that results in a degree of protection equivalent to that provided by the foreign government or NATO markings. Therefore, if the foreign government or NATO marking is in English, and the U.S. and foreign government or NATO protective measures for the classification are equivalent, the foreign government or NATO marking may be retained on the information. However, if the FGI is marked in a language other than English, a classification marking that results in equivalent protection will be applied to the FGI. c. Volume 3, Enclosure 2, section 17 of this Manual identifies the safeguarding requirements for FGI. d. S ection 4 of Enclosure 4 of this Volume provides specific guidance on marking documents consisting entirely of FGI; section 9 of Enclosure 4 of this Volume provides guidance on markings to be used on U.S. documents containing FGI portions; section 5 of Enclosure 4 of this Volume provides guidance on marking information that is jointly produced or owned with another country or international organization. 20. MARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFERS OF DEFENSE ARTICLES TO AUSTRALIA OR THE UNITED KINGDOM WITHOUT AN EXPORT LICENSE OR OTHER WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION. Volume 3, Enclosure 4, section 7 of this Manual provides marking requirements for the transfer of certain classified and unclassified defense articles to Australia or the United Kingdom without an export license or other written authorization. 21. TRANSLATIONS. Mark translations of U.S. classified information into a foreign language with the appropriate U.S. classification markings and the foreign language equivalent. U.S. classification markings must appear as the banner line with the foreign language translation of the marking immediately below the top banner and immediately above the bottom banner within the document. The translation shall clearly show the United States as the country of origin. 22. MARKING DOCUMENTS FOR TRAINING PURPOSES OR AS AN EXAMPLE. Documents and material that contain no classified information, but which carry classification markings for training purposes or to provide an example, shall also have a marking that clearly shows the actual classification of the documents. Place a suitable marking on each page of the document or to accompany each example, such as: “Unclassified – Classification Markings for Training Purposes Only.”

Distribution statements are u sed on classified and unclassified scientific and technical documents to identify the document’s availability for distribution, release, and disclosure without additional approvals and authorizations from the controlling DoD office (CDO). Each statement provides four pieces of information as illustrated in Figure 24 to facilitate secondary distribution and release. Figure 24.
