For Official Use Only (FOUO) And Similar Designations. For Official Use Only (FOUO) is a document designation, not a classification. There is no national policy governing use of the For Official Use Only designation. DoD Directive 5400.7 defines For Official Use Only information as unclassified information that may be exempt from mandatory release to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). It is believed this older publication has, in effect, been voluntarily released. Similar documents have subsequently been issued by the Defense Department with no control markings.

This Handbook is intended to be an unofficial reference that explains the meaning of stockpile management, identifies the organizations, individuals and facilities involved in the management of the stockpile, and describes the activities and processes by which this task is accomplished. It was designed to be useful, but it is neither authoritative nor directive. The content of the Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Management Handbook is the sole responsibility of the Office of the Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters.
