TRADOC administrative publications are issued in accordance with authority and procedure established by Army Regulation 25-30, Army Publishing Program. Policies and procedures for publication of TRADOC command administrative publications are established by TRADOC Regulation 25-35, Preparing and Publishing TRADOC Administrative Publications.

TRADOC Memorandums (TMs) apply to HQ TRADOC only. They establish policies, responsibilities, and administrative procedures; pattern of organizations and workflow; and recurring and special forms and reports within HQ TRADOC. They are effective until superseded or rescinded.
TRADOC Pamphlets (TPs) are permanent instructional or informational publications that apply command-wide. Pamphlets are not directive.

TRADOC Regulations (TRs) contain policies, responsibilities, and administrative procedures relating to subjects not contained in Army Regulations. They are permanent directives, effective until superseded or rescinded. Each regulation is confined to a single subject and is the only authority to prescribe mandatory use of TRADOC forms.
