Executive summaries (EXSUMs) are prepared in Arial 12 with 1-inch margins. The overall classification of the EXSUM, all uppercased and in boldface, is entered 1 inch from the top and bottom of the page. The words EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, all uppercased, are one return below the classification. One return below the words EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, the tasker number (if applicable) is entered, flush right. Directly below that comes the date in the abbreviated format shown above. If the EXSUM is not related to a tasker, enter the date one return below the words EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, flush right. One return below the date is the subject, all uppercased, underlined, and parenthetically marked with the applicable classification. The classification before the subject is the overall classification of the EXSUM. The classification after the subject is the classification of the subject. The originator’s office symbol is entered in parentheses after the classification of the subject. After entering one return, the body of the EXSUM begins by stating the purpose (self-initiated or to answer a question). The body of the EXSUM should not exceed 15 lines. Acronyms must be spelled out the first time they appear, followed by the acronym in parentheses.
