+
+Introduction
+
+   This RFC describes the policy for the registration of second level
+   domains under the ".MIL" domain.
+
+Policy
+
+   A.  The ".MIL" domain is delegated from the root authority to the US
+   Department of Defense (DoD).  Only US military services, unified or
+   specified commands, and operating agencies of the DoD which do not
+   report through military service chains can be registered as a second
+   level domain under the ".MIL" domain.  All other DoD organizations
+   will register through their respective second level domain
+   administrators using the registration procedures established by those
+   offices.  The ".MIL" domain is administered by the DoD Network
+   Information Center (NIC).
+
+   B.  The domain names under the ".MIL" will be descriptive of the
+   organization they will service.  The domain name length is preferred
+   to be 12 characters or less, and must be unique (first come first
+   serve if duplicates occur).
+
+   C.  Each second level domain under the ".MIL" domain will be
+   supported by at least two name servers.  Preferably these servers
+   will be located in two separate networks.  All DNS servers supporting
+   subdomains of the ".MIL" domain must be in the ".MIL" domain.
+
+   D.  Prospective second level domain administrators in the ".MIL"
+   domain will request registration using the template provided by the
+   DoD NIC.  The templates are available via anonymous FTP or
+   interactively via the DoD NIC World Wide Web Homepage.  The domain
+   request template shall be submitted to the DoD NIC hostmaster
+   (hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil).  The DoD NIC hostmaster will only accept
+   domain registration templates from registered ".MIL" users.
