2. Chapter 18: Information Management The purpose of chapter 18 is to outline why and how information management should be accomplished.
Communication between any units of AAS may occur, except when specifically prohibited. This correspondence may occur with any other unit at any command level. However, the sending unit must also send courtesy copies of the correspondence to any intermediate HQs in the chain of command. As of late it is highly encouraged for squadrons to go through the Area HQ before going directly to National HQ.
All AAS units are strongly encouraged to bring to the attention of National HQ any unsatisfactory supplies, services, or support received from any national-level HQ in the Society. Under these circumstances the IMs are encouraged to skip the chain of command and alert the national IM.
3. Address All units will use this format for organizational addresses for the purpose of communication by mail:
Example:

4. Forms AAS has established many forms for the purpose of keeping records. All units must maintain record copies of all correspondence issued. Use a duplicating system which will provide a lasting record of the correspondence.
The 100-Series of forms is reserved for standardized forms used at both the area and National levels for day-to-day operations.
The 200-Series of forms is reserved for those forms which an area or national level HQ desires to create for its own internal use, but are not included in the 100-Series.
The 700-Series of forms is reserved for those forms that are used by area and national level HQs in evaluations of subordinate units and to provide feedback to these units.
The 900-Series of forms is reserved for the national level awards nomination process.
