How is classified information typically prepared when it comprises 10 percent or less of the manual?

Classified information that comprises 10 percent or less of a manual is typically included as a classified supplement to that manual. This approach is in line with established guidelines for handling classified materials, allowing for the integration of sensitive information without overwhelming the main content of the manual or complicating its accessibility. By presenting the classified portion as a supplement, it ensures that the unclassified information remains easily available for all users while still providing the necessary security protocols for the classified details.

The option of creating a separate manual would unnecessarily complicate the distribution and usability of the information. Including classified information as an appendix could lead to confusion regarding the organization and might not adequately highlight the security measures required for the sensitive content. Footnotes, while useful for giving additional context or citations, would not be practical for presenting classified information that requires stricter handling and access restrictions.
