CHAPTER III

OFFICE SYMBOLS

1. Concept. Office Symbols provide a uniform method to identify originators of

correspondence and electronically transmitted messages, and to provide an accurate attention line
for replies. They are also used as part of the address when forwarding correspondence and
mailing to or from or within the New York Guard.

2. Division of Military & Naval Affairs (DMNA). The DMNA Office Symbols are contained
in DMNA Pam 25-50. These symbols are initially a four (4) alpha code, starting with MN for
Military & Naval. The New York Guard "Directorate" Office is MNSG.

3. New York Guard (NYG). The NYG will follow the DMNA protocol utilizing an initial four
(4) alpha code of NYSG. This will differentiate between the DMNA NYG "Directorate" and the
NYG drilling organization.

4. NYSG Office Symbol Extensions. Extension of the Office Symbols is essentially the use of
the Chain-of-Command and Staff Positions as required. The Army standard is the use of dashes
(-) to separate command levels, while the Air standard substitutes the use of slashes (/) for
separations down to office level. Following are some examples:

a. NYSG-CG. This is the Commanding General of the NYG. A complete listing of

Headquarters and J-Staff Office Symbols is at Appendix B.

b. NYSG-AR. This is the Army Division, NYG. Further extensions dashed or

bracketed to signify Headquarters Staff Sections is at the discretion of the Division Commander.

c. NYSG-AD. This is the Air Division, NYG. Further extensions slashed (/) to signify
Headquarters Staff Sections is at the discretion of the Division Commander.

d. NYSG-CM. This is the Civil Military Affairs Unit, NYG. Further extensions dashed
or bracketed to signify Headquarters Staff Sections is at the discretion of the CMAU
Commander.

e. Extensions of the Division Symbol for army units would follow the same protocol,
Brigade, Regiment, (Battalion), etc. Air Groups utilize their Group number IAW Air Force
standards. Some examples are shown in Appendix A, subject to Division concurrence.

5. Mail. All mail addressed within the NYG will include appropriate office symbols for whom
the mail is intended. Examples are as follows:

will also include the office symbol of the originator to provide an accurate attention (ATTN:) line
for response.

CHAPTER IV

DISTRIBUTION

1. Concept. Standard distribution codes provide for a uniform method of distributing

publications of the new York Guard.

2. Division of Military & Naval Affairs (DMNA). The DMNA Distribution Procedures and
Codes are contained in DMNA Pam 25-31. The New York Guard Unit Distribution is
DISTRIBUTION E. This distribution is shown in Appendix A and is made as follows:

6 copies to HQ NYG.
4 copies to each Division HQs.
2 copies to each CMAU, Brigades, and Air Groups.
1 copy to each Battalion.

3. New York Guard (NYG). The NYG has expanded on the DMNA Distribution E with the
additional standard distribution codes:

a. Distribution EA. Shown at Appendix B, this is distribution to Headquarters and Joint

Staff.

b. Distribution EB. Shown at Appendix A, this is distribution to just the Major

Commands (MACOMs). Distribution is 10 copies to Army Division and 5 copies to Air and
CMAU.

c. Distribution EO. Used for distribution of orders as shown below:

Individual - 2 copies
Each Commander in Chain-of-Command - 2 copies
HQ NYG (MPJ) - 2 copies
HQ NYG (Payroll if SAD w/pay) - 2 copies

4. Partial Distribution. The distribution codes can be limited through the addition of
Distribution Numbers. Using the Army Division (App A, page A-1) as an example, E200 would
go to all Army Division Units only; E210 would go to all 4th Brigade Units only; E211 would
only go to the 1st Bn 21st Regiment NYG. Likewise, with the Joint Staff (app B, page B-1) EA3
would go to just the Personnel and Administrative Section.

5. Distribution Example. Listed below are examples of distribution symbols:

a. Distribution to all units of the NYG to Battalion level would read:

DISTRIBUTION: E

b. Distribution to all Joint Staff would read:

DISTRIBUTION: EA
IV-1
NYGD 5010 31 January 2001

c. Distribution by Army Division to all its units down to Battalion level would read:
DISTRIBUTION: E200

6. Correspondence and Orders. All correspondence and orders will include the distribution
code at the lower left corner following the signature block. Example as follows:

SIGNATURE BLOCK …………..

DISTRIBUTION: EB

7. Additional Distribution. Distribution beyond the New York Guard may utilize the DMNA
Pam 25-31 codes for other State Military units or specifically identify the additional recipients.
