Preparing Memorandums AR 25-50
Types of Memorandums • Basic Memorandum (Single Addressee) • Memorandum for See Distribution • Thru Memorandum • Informal Memorandum • Memorandum of agreement • Memorandum for Record
Basics of Memorandum Format • 1” margins all around page • 12 pitch Arial font used on all • Remember MS Word does not know AR 25-50 you MUST format your correspondence to be in compliance • All margins for all paragraphs and any subparagraphs are based off the 1’’ • If you subdivide a paragraph or the subdivision you must have it in increments of two ex: if you have a 1 you must have a 2, if you have an (a) you must have a (b) ect.
Basics of Memorandum Format (cont) • The office symbol and header always corresponds to the individual signing the memorandum ex: 110th MP CO Commander would be AFVP-110-CO, 1st PLT PS would be AFVP-110-1, any SM in 1st PLT would be AFVP-110-1 • All enclosures to the memorandum must be listed • The entire paragraph or subparagraph must fit on the page or you must put the entire paragraph or subparagraph on the next page
Basic Memorandum Rules • Used in all instances when the other types are not necessary ex: Requesting any action from one entity or person ie: Supplies,
Memorandum for See Distribution Rules • Used mainly in Policy letters and memorandums for a broad audience
Thru Memorandum Rules • Used when the memorandum must go through more than one office to be approved • List addressees in order of precedence • Memorandum is signed at the bottom by the first approval authority
Informal Memorandum Rules • Used usually for inter unit (company or platoon) • Only difference is this memorandum does not have the DA seal or header
Memorandum of Agreement Rules • Used when the approval authority and an individual SM have to agree to something ie: Removal from Promotion Standing List between the CO CDR and the SM
Memorandum for Record Rules • Used to record an event or action ex: Missed Counseling, Equipment transfer chain of events • MFRs do not typically get routed to anyone they remain as a part of a file for later use if necessary
