A word about the handbooks:
We endeavor to provide the most current policy documents on our site. To do this, we link to a mix of documents – ones that have completed the concurrence process as well as drafts or memos that provide more current or more detailed guidance. If you have questions about the documents found in the Policies section, please contact us.
For other handbooks and directives not listed on this page, please
visit the VHA publications site.
Please note that the most current copies of Service policy documents are listed here, on the ORD website.
