How Systems of Records Are Arranged
Department of the Army records are identified by the directive number which prescribes the records created, maintained and used, and are published in numerical sequence by identification number. For example, a system of records about assignment of military personnel may be found in the 614 series; assignments, details and transfers'. Some subjects, such as investigations, are treated as sub-elements of a series, e.g., 'criminal investigations', 'security', and 'military intelligence'.
How to Use the Index Guide
To locate a particular system of records, follow this general guide. The series subject corresponds to the system identification number. For example: medical records for military and civilian personnel are in the 40 series. The first letter, 'A', represents the Army, the number 40-66 is the prescribing directive, and the suffix letters are internal management devices.
