Which document does DoDI 5200.48 cancel or replace?

• A. DoD Instruction 8500.01 (Cybersecurity).
• B. DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4 (Controlled Unclassified Information) dated Feb 24, 2012 (as amended).
• C. DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 3 (Sensitive Compartmented Information).
• D. DoD Directive 5105.41 (National Guard).

Answer: (B)

This question is about which policy document DoDI 5200.48 takes over. DoDI 5200.48 establishes the DoD’s unified approach to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and replaces the older guidance that previously governed CUI handling across the department. Specifically, it cancels and replaces DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4 (Controlled Unclassified Information) dated Feb 24, 2012 (as amended). The move to the new instruction standardizes how CUI is marked, safeguarded, disseminated, and trained for across DoD components, bringing it into alignment with the broader government CUI program and ensuring consistent implementation.

The other documents listed cover different areas: DoD Instruction 8500.01 focuses on Cybersecurity; DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 3 addresses Sensitive Compartmented Information; DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4 is the older CUI guidance that DoDI 5200.48 supersedes; and DoD Directive 5105.41 governs the National Guard. None of these are superseded by DoDI 5200.48 in the way the CUI guidance is.
