The DNDAF is organized into four volumes:

1.	DNDAF Volume 1: Overview and Definitions. This Volume gives an overview of EA in general, and the supporting information and associated definitions to define how EA is being implemented in DND/CF.

2.	DNDAF Volume 2: DND/CF Views and Sub-views. The DNDAF Vol 2 provides guidance to all DND/CF organizations in initiating, developing, using and maintaining architectural products during the life cycle of their individual projects and initiatives. The DNDAF Vol 2 provides a mechanism for the organization, analysis and communication of information regarding the enterprise and groups it into a series of commonly understood stakeholder views and sub-views.

3.	DNDAF Volume 3: DND/CF Architecture Data Model (DADM). The DADM provides guidance to all DND/CF organizations in initiating, developing, using and maintaining architecture data during the life cycle of their individual projects and initiatives. The DADM provides a mechanism for organizing the data required for an integrated enterprise architecture which enables the organization, analysis and communication of information regarding the enterprise.

4.	DNDAF Volume 4: User Guide. Volume 4 provides guidance to DNDAF users in the development and management of their architecture information. It also provides the interim means by which projects can use the DNDAF and DADM to develop EA information without the benefits of an EA design tool. The DNDAF User Guide provides the necessary Data Collection Templates (DCT) to facilitate the capture of DADM entities and attribute values during the development of each of the DNDAF sub-views.
