The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal freedom of information law that allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government. The Act defines agency records subject to disclosure, outlines mandatory disclosure procedures and grants nine exemptions to the statute. The reading room for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Staff FOIA Requester Service Center has gathered publications from various sources of government and made them available to the public; this is one of those documents. Some information in these documents may have been redacted for security purposes. | Joint Military Operations Historical Collection by The The Office of the Secretary of Defense a, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
