Q. Where can I find a guide for citing references so that I can format footnotes and bibliographies?

The Naval War College "Pocket Writing and Style Guide" is found at http://www.usnwc.edu/getattachment/a57e8a60-1b8d-42a7-83bb-d1c8e4767806/NWC-Pocket-Writing-and-Style-Guide-2012.aspx. Browse the table of contents and click "The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS)." You will be taken directly to the section on proper citation formatting.

Alternately, consult the Chicago Manual of Style Online database and search the 16th edition.
