in the AF e-Publishing catalog as of our last index refresh (2026-08-23). Status is mirrored from that catalog, re-checked weekly — every change is logged.

A Guidance Memorandum dated 2026-08-05 modifies this publication.
DAFI 36-2501 is still the current edition and its publication date has not changed — a GM is issued against an edition, takes effect immediately, and is normally folded into the next rewrite. The official PDF includes the GM at the front; if your saved copy predates 2026-08-05, download it again.

1 publication in 1 other community depend on this one, which Personnel owns.
