Memorandums are not released with security statuses, i.e. they are not released as "UNCLASSIFIED".
For the heading of the department "THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF" is in Microsoft Arial font with large blank line in between. Department of Defense normally uses Roman and Federal fonts for their headers with no blank line in between. The Joint Staff also have their own seal, not the DOD seal.
If this was going to be their official header, it would read as "THE JOINT STAFF". They do not refer to this specific department as "THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF".
Subject lines are not in ALLCAPS but in normal titlecase.
This is supposed to be a scan of the document. THERE IS NO DATE. All memorandums would have a STAMPED date. They have to in order to be granted a public release.
The Joint Chiefs cannot come out and announce this memo as fake because it would be bad optics, i.e. they could be accused by the press as not supporting Biden.
THIS IS FAKE.
