Dear Mr. Salt,
I acknowledge your request for All documents analyzing the structure and
capabilities of the Tatmadaw/armed forces of Myanmar from 1980 onwards.
However, I am not aware of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command
having any records that would analyze the structure and capabilities of the
Tatmadaw (formerly Burma)/armed forces.
I dont know where to direct your request for a search to be conducted.
Please perfect your request by:
1) Providing clarification about the records you requested, in order for
this office to begin processing your request. Per 32 CFR Part 286, paragraph
§ 286.4h Policy. Describe the requested record, provide a description of the
desired record that enables the Government to locate the record with a
reasonable amount of effort. Provide category I information such as type of
record (for example, memorandum), title, index citation, subject area, date
the record was created, and originator. Provide category II is event-related
and includes the circumstances that resulted in the record being created or
the date and circumstances surrounding the event the record covers. A record
is not reasonably described unless the description contains sufficient
Category I information to permit the conduct of an organized, non-random
search based on the DoD Components filing arrangements.
2) Provide why you think TRADOC would have these records,
3) Providing a complete mailing address, and
4) Citing a willingness to pay fees up to a certain amount, such as I am
willing to pay fees up to $25.00.
No action will be taken on this request until it is perfected and
clarification is obtained.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks - v/r,

Because this request, unlike several of my others, is clearly too vague, I would like to apologize and formally withdraw it so as not to make the backlog even worse.
Sincerely,
Colin Salt.
