Commandant Notices

A Commandant Notice is a directive of a temporary one-time or brief nature and has the same force and effect as an instruction. All notices have self-cancelling provisions. Issue an instruction for information expected to remain effective for longer than one year. Use a Notice for one (1) year special announcements of morale and subjects short in nature instead of ALCOAST Commandant Notices (ACNs).
