What is the instruction for the Correspndence Manual?

• A. SECNAVINST 5216.5
• B. SECNAVINST 5210.2
• C. SECNAVINST 5210.1
• D. SECNAVINST 5211.3

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is matching the right DoN instruction to the topic of official correspondence. SECNAVINST 5216.5 is the one that specifically governs the Department of the Navy Correspondence Manual, outlining how official correspondence should be prepared, formatted, routed, and filed. That direct alignment with the scope of the Correspondence Manual makes it the correct choice. The other numbers refer to different DoN manuals on topics unrelated to the Correspondence Manual, so they don’t fit the question.
