Distribution Statements and Copyright
Distribution Statements
Beyond the provisions of security classifications, all documents must
carry distribution statements that describe conditions for their distribution,
release, or disclosure. DoD
5230.24, Distribution Statements on Technical Documents, prescribes
limitations for distribution of DoD documents. The 'Submitting Documents'
Web page provides detailed descriptions
of distribution statements. The 'DTIC Contributor's Handbook' web page
also provides some guidance on distribution statements.
