The Department of Defense Activity Address Directory (DODAAD ) is authorized under Defense
Logistics Manual 4000.25. This manual prescribes uniform methods, codes, formats, and
standards for the establishment, maintenance, publication, and dissemination of address data
to required Military Services, Federal Agencies, and Civil Agencies.
Defense Automatic Addressing System hosts the DODAAD update and query applications as well as the
single authoritative DODAAD database and its syndication to the DoD Components. As the
Central Control Point (CCP) for the DODAAD , they also control access to the applications and
database via system access requests (SARs).
Required updates to the DODAAD are managed by the designated Central Service/Agency Point
(CSP). These updates include additions, changes, and deletions, to the mailing, shipping,
and billing addresses of the identified DoDAAC's.
The DoDAAC is a six position code that uniquely identifies a unit, activity or organization that
has the authorities of usage that have been granted to it by approving Central Service Point. The
first position (or in some cases, up to three) designates the particular Service/Agency element
of ownership.
There may be up to four distinct addresses contained in the DODAAD for each DoDAAC, as follows:
TAC1 - Identifies the mailing address for the activity (mandatory) TAC2 - Identifies the ‘ship to’ (freight) address for the activity TAC3 - Identifies the billing address (The activity responsible for payment of
bills.)
Additional DODAAD Information
The DODAAD Update Application is a web-based replacement of the batch update to the Master
DODAAD database. The master DODAAD contains the names and addresses of activities which must
be identified in the DoD standard logistics transactions. The records include military
organizational entities which requisition, receive, or ship materiel; commercial organizations
which enter into materiel and/or service contracts with DoD; and the activities of other federal
agencies which maintain logistics support arrangements with the DoD. The DODAAD is maintained
in a current state using updates from the Central Service Point (CSP) in each Service and Agency.
These updates are distributed daily or in near real time to those activities utilizing database
replication. This is the main source of the addressing information used by the Department of Defense.
This data is available for download by activities requiring this information. DAAS
also utilizes the DODAAD to perform validations of logistics transactions as they flow through the
supply system.
The DODAAD supports DLA and other DoD Component modernization efforts, provides utilization
of eBusiness/eCommerce business practices and tools and increases support to multiple business processes.
It provides Component applications near real-time access to the authoritative source data and CSP DODAAD
updates and ensures real-time validations. The authoritative source file is enhanced with Component data
elements and easy addition of the DoD Component unique data elements is now available.

The DODAAD provides for increased data accuracy with simplified access to data by authorized user(s).
It provides for the elimination of duplicate updates and files and eliminates DoD Component service
point's reconciliations with DAAS.

Rules of Behavior Acknowledgement
The following DLA General Rules of Behavior delineate the responsibilities of, and expectations for, all individuals with access to DLA systems, networks, and internal web sites.
What is the purpose of the Rules of Behavior?
The DLA Rules of Behavior summarize laws and guidelines from various DLA and Department of Defense (DOD) documents.
What are Rules of Behavior?
Rules of Behavior support accomplishing a Defense-in-Depth strategy of Information Assurance (IA) initiatives. These guidelines were established to hold users accountable for their actions and responsible for information security. Rules of Behavior establish standards of actions in recognition of the fact that knowledgeable users are the foundation of a successful security program. The Rules of Behavior highlight the need for users to understand that taking personal responsibility for the security of a computer and the data it contains is an essential part of their job.
Who is covered by these rules?
These rules are to be followed by the entire DLA workforce (civilian, military, and contractor) with access to DLA systems, networks, and internal web sites. This DLA workforce should be fully aware of, and abide by, DLA security policies as well as related DOD policies.
What are the penalties for Noncompliance?
Noncompliance to these rules will be enforced through sanctions commensurate with the level of infraction. Actions may result in removal of system access.
Misuse of Privacy Act data may result in civil and criminal charges and fines.
