The chapter includes suggested format and recommended content to aide in preparing a J&A.  The cover page, the Coordination and Approval Document, is also referred to as the Justification Review Document.  In addition to the officials listed in the samples provided in this chapter, MAJCOM and local procedures may require additional coordination on J&As.  For example:
