In particular, it is important that lists use #.
to denote each item to avoid overriding the Army memorandum template Latex styling for lists.
A minimum set of declarations are required for the office-symbol, subject, signature block, etc.
After these options, within \begin{document}
... \end{document}
, the structure is based on an enumerate
list.
