particular record system involved so as to furnish the required
personal identifiers, or any other pertinent personal information as
may be required to locate and retrieve the record.

established that are applicable to every record system maintained
within the Department of Defense unless specifically stated otherwise
within a particular record system. These additional blanket routine
uses of the records are published below only once in the interest of
simplicity, economy and to avoid redundancy.

of records may be referred, as a routine use, to the appropriate
