What Is an Army Memorandum Template?
It is a standard format correspondence document of military correspondence. It conveys decisions, information, coordination or instructions in a concise and precise language. The addressee, subject and action are clarified using a uniform heading structure and numbered paragraphs, and additional–supporting documents are shown in the References and Enclosures sections. A well-written memorandum tells within itself “what is requested” and “how to verify”, without leaving the need for a meeting minutes.
Why Use Army Memorandum Templates?
- Standard and speed: You eliminate the form debate in the chain of command and focus on the content.
- Accountability: A history of SUSPENSE and POC creates a trace of responsibility and follow-up.
- Short and clear communication: With the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) approach, the main message is visible in the first paragraph.
- Archive and control: Thanks to References and Enclosures, the basis and annex of the decision are kept in the same document.

Language and Format Tips
Write military memorandums in active voice and short paragraphs. On first use, spell out the term followed by the abbreviation in parentheses; thereafter, use the abbreviation.With the BLUF rule, the desired action/decision is given in the first paragraph; followed by the rationale and implementation details. Paragraphs are numbered as 1., 2., 3.; sub-items are expanded as a., b., c. when necessary.
