Muckrock Staff,
Good morning, once again you are doing the same thing we asked you not to do in an email dated November 11, 2018 at 11:19am address to the following email address requests@muckrock.com. The Department of the Army FOIA program is decentralized. The information you are seeking does not fall under this office purview. This is a bad practice appearing to your requesters that we are not complying with their response within the mandatory 20 business days IAW FOIA. This office is the Initial Denial Authority (IDA) for records that fall under the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army only. We do not handle FOIA request pertaining to recruiting or can tell you the status of the request since we never received it in this office. To check the status of this request, we recommend you go back to the original inbox in which you submitted this request on November 7, 2018. As a courtesy, we have provided you a link below to submit your FOIA request. No further action is required from this particular office.
