Commands and establishments must arrange immediate application of the markings after vehicles have been registered: at the front, the registration number on the left mudguard and the tactical symbol on the right; at the rear, the number centrally, with the tactical symbol beneath it on the left side of the rear body panel. On motorcycles, the numbers are to be on the number plates and the symbols on both sides of the fuel tank. All numbers and symbols are to be in white block lettering of the prescribed dimensions.

The sequence of numbers will be communicated with the registration certificate after the vehicle-strength report required by Daily Order No. 5 has been received. Applying vehicle markings without authorisation is unlawful and strictly prohibited.

All subordinate commands and establishments must report through sector commandants by 18 July 1940 the condition of Navy-owned motor vehicles: ready for use, temporarily unserviceable, or unusable.
