What instruction lists Standard Subject Identification Codes?

• A. SECNAVINST 5210.2
• B. SECNAVINST 5210.3
• C. SECNAVINST 5210.1
• D. SECNAVINST 5210.4

Answer: (A)

Standard Subject Identification Codes are the system used to classify Navy documents by topic, giving each subject a unique numeric code for consistent filing and retrieval. The authoritative listing and rules for these codes are published in the SECNAV Instruction in the 5210 series, specifically the one that defines how SSICs are structured and applied. That instruction explains which codes exist, how they are organized into topics and subtopics, and how to assign them to correspondence and records. The other instructions in the same 5210 family focus on different aspects of information handling and security, rather than listing the SSIC codes themselves.
