Written Requests
You may also request copies of RMA records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The U.S. Army is committed to fulfilling FOIA requests in a timely way, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Please note: Under FOIA, requesters may be asked to pay limited fees covering record searches and reproductions costs. At the RMA, the U.S. Army automatically waives fees under $15. If the estimated cost exceeds $25, requesters will be notified in advance. Fees are based on the services required and the planned use of the information (i.e., commercial, news media, educational, non-commercial scientific or personal or other use). Category definitions can be found here.
To expedite your FOIA request, please be sure to:
- Submit your request in writing via fax, email or regular mail.
- Include your mailing address.
- Describe the records sought in enough detail so they can be located with a reasonable amount of effort. (Please note: The RMA administrative record comprises thousands of reports, studies and documents. To fulfill your request as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, the U.S. Army may ask for additional details to pinpoint which documents you need.)
- Indicate that you understand and agree to pay reasonable and applicable fees.
