Since the exact email addresses for MDR requests for each Department of Defense (DoD) and Component agency are not included in the search results, it is recommended to visit the official FOIA or MDR pages for each DoD component, or contact their FOIA Public Liaison offices directly. Alternatively, you can consult the DoD Instruction 5200.48, "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)," or DoD Manual 5200.01 for specific instructions and contact details on MDR requests. If you provide the list of specific DoD components for which you need addresses, I can help locate their official FOIA/MDR contacts based on my knowledge.
