c. Marginal Information. The addition of marginal information on your overlay is important.
When you complete plotting or tracing all required information on your overlay, you print the marginal
information as close to the lower right-hand corner as possible. The marginal information may include
the following (see figure 1-10).
(1) Classification. The security classification must correspond to the highest classification of
the map or the information contained on the overlay. If unclassified, so state.
NOTE: The classification also must be placed at the top center and the bottom center of the overlay.
(2) Title. The title tells the reader the purpose or objective of the overlay.
(3) Time and date. Your overlays should contain the latest information when you prepare it.
It is important for the receivers to know the exact time of preparation in order to determine its reliability
and usefulness.
