Directives Numbering

BuShips Directives are numbered using this order (as determined by the 3SL):

YYMM-##

Example: 1610-06

• Year (YY): Last two digits of the calendar year (eg: 16)
• Month (MM): Two-digit representation of the month (eg: 10)
• ##: The number of the order given that month. If five orders had previously been issued that month by BuShips, then the next order number is going to be 06. It is NOT the day of the month that the order is issued, and no Directive uses a letter after the number under any circumstances.
