DoD 7950.1-M is the correct designation for the "Defense Automation Resources Management Manual." This manual provided policies and procedures for the management, administration, and use of the Department of Defense's automated information systems (AIS) and resources. Although this specific manual is an older publication and has been superseded by newer directives within the DoD 8000 series, it established foundational principles for managing automation resources, which is a key historical concept within the ISSEP domain. The question tests knowledge of historical DoD documentation that shaped current information systems security and management policies.

A. DoD 8910.1: This directive pertains to the Management and Control of Information Requirements, focusing on data collection and reporting, not the management of automation resources.

C. DoD 5200.22-M: This is the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), which provides security requirements for government contractors handling classified information.

D. DoD 5200.1-R: This was the Information Security Program Regulation, which established the primary security program for classifying, marking, and handling classified DoD information.

E. DoDD 8000.1: This is a high-level directive concerning the "Management of the Department of Defense Information Enterprise," a much broader and more modern scope than the specific manual in question.
