## Memo of UnderstandingBetween DoD and NARA

- The collaboration will start with a review by NARA of the government-wide usefulness of a standard, DOD 5015.2-STD, that was recently established for electronic records-management software.  NARA will review the DOD standard and the testing program for their applicability throughout the Federal Government.  Once this review is completed, NARA and DOD will work together to extend the standard to cover additional aspects of records management.
