A Guidance Memorandum dated 2026-05-12 modifies this publication. DAFI 51-403 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 2026-05-12, download it again.

If DAFI 51-403 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
