DOD Marking Manual

 

FOUO PAPERS

"For Official Use Only" is a control statement that is independent from the distribution statement on the cover page of your thesis. In other words, FOUO is in addition to the distribution statement. There are nine reasons for FOUO exemption, as outlined in this excerpt from DoD Manual 5200.01.

If your paper contains FOUO information, portion mark with "(FOUO)" only the applicable paragraphs, headings, images, and captions. Your Thesis Processor may then proceed with inserting the internal banner lines as needed. This marking guidance is outlined in the excerpt above.

Note that if marking a heading as "(FOUO)," ensure that the heading text as it stands on its own does, indeed, require protection (a portion mark applies only to the portion it immediately precedes). In other words, the mark does not serve to portend that the entire chapter or subsection carries the same protection; each applicable paragraph still must be portioned-marked.
