The DA Form 260, crucial in the realm of military publishing, serves as a formal Request for Publishing within the United States Army. Governed by the guidelines outlined in AR 25-30, its management falls under the responsibility of the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army (OAASA). This multifaceted form facilitates a structured submission process for a variety of publication requests, encompassing new issues, revisions, changes, certifications of currentness, and rescissions. It demands detailed input, including the type of publication, nomenclature, action type, and classification status, among others. Additionally, the form inquires about the presence of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), multi-service publication involvement, and anticipated publication dates. The necessity for each publication is justified through explanations aligned with statutory requirements or Department of Defense Directives. It also addresses the inclusion of related content such as manuscripts, graphics, and the implication of new, revised, or rescinded forms. The DA Form 260 extends to capturing information on copyright material, distribution restrictions, and specific completion timelines, ensuring a thorough review process before any Army publication is released. This comprehensive approach underlines the Army's commitment to safeguarding sensitive information while ensuring that its publications are timely, necessary, and devoid of redundant content.
