Recognition Journal
The U. S. Army-Navy Journal of Recognition is published as a joint
effort by the Navy and by the Army to bring out the latest and most important recognition
news. It is a restricted publication. As such . . . "this document contains
information affecting the national defense of the United States, within the meaning of the
Espionage Act, 50 U. S. C., 31 and 33, as amended."
"Its transmission or the revelation of its contents in any manner
to an unauthorized person is prohibited by law."
Although the Journal is marked Restricted it should receive full
distribution. The purpose of the Journal is to disseminate material on recognition as
rapidly as possible for the fullest use by officers and enlisted men and it should not be
treated as a secret. It is distributed in fixed quotas through the regular channels of
each service. A few additional copies are available, and may be obtained upon request from
each service.
