How long are technical order extracts valid?

Extracts will be valid only during the calendar month they were issued.

Accept no unnecessary risk – Unnecessary risk comes without a commensurate return in terms of real benefits or available opportunities; it will not contribute meaningfully to mission or activity accomplishment and needlessly jeopardizes personnel or other assets.
