Notes:
1. Do not confuse the requirements for doctrinal and
training publications described here with the style for
administrative publications that had to be applied in the
preparation of this regulation. In some ways those
requirements differ. For example, abbreviations
authorized for use in administrative publications may
appear in doctrinal and training publications only in
specific cases.
2. In this publication, the terms readers, target audience,
and users are synonymous. This is also true of
subject-matter expert (SME) and writer; graphics and
illustrations; headings and titles.
3. Although this regulation addresses the SME, it has
equal application to the editor, the visual information
specialist (VIS), the illustrator, and anyone else
responsible for preparing, producing, and processing
publications that make up the TRADOC portion of the
ADTLP.
*This regulation supersedes TRADOC PAM 310-6, 1 February 1985
