## Glossary Section I Introduction

11. Purpose This regulation establishes policy and procedures and assigns responsibilities for the following: disclosure of Army classified military information (CMI) and relevant controlled unclassified information (CUI), as specified in paragraph 15a(2), to foreign governments and international organizations; contacts with foreign government representatives; certification of foreign liaison officers to Department of the Army (DA) commands, installations, and contractor facilities for which DA is the lead agent or has security cognizance; and foreign government representative attendance at Army-sponsored meetings, conferences, and symposia. It delegates authority for routine foreign disclosure decisions and defines channels for resolving foreign disclosure issues.

## 12. References See Appendix A. 13. Explanation Of Abbreviations And Terms See The Glossary. 14. Responsibilities See Section Ii Of This Chapter.

15. Authority a. This regulation prescribes DA policies and procedures governing the disclosure of CMI and certain CUI to foreign governments and international organizations and contacts with foreign government representatives.

(1) *Disclosure of classified military information.* This regulation governs the disclosure of CMI to representatives of foreign governments and international organizations (hereafter referred to as "foreign disclosure"). CMI is defined as information originated by or for the Department of Defense (DOD), its departments or agencies, or departments or agencies under their jurisdiction or control and that requires protection in the interests of national security. It is designated "TOP SECRET," "SECRET," or "CONFIDENTIAL," as described in Executive Order (EO) 13526. CMI may be in oral, visual, or documentary form (see Army regulation (AR) 3805).

(2) *Disclosure of controlled unclassified information* This regulation also governs the foreign disclosure of CUI
identified in DODM 5200.01 V4 which applies to all unclassified information (including doctrinal and training information) with military or space applications that does not meet the standards for national security classification under EO 13526, but is pertinent to the national interests of the U.S. and is in the possession of, or under the control of, a DOD component.

Note. Not all CUI is marked or has a distribution statement. It is incumbent upon all originators and proponents to review material prior to making a disclosure determination, in order to appropriately identify the information as public domain or CUI.

(3) *Channels of official foreign disclosure communications*.

(a) On behalf of the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff, Army (CSA), the Deputy Chief of Staff, G2
(DCS, G2) or their designee is the exclusive DA point of contact (POC) for foreign military attaches diplomatically accredited to the U.S. Government (USG) and for other representatives of foreign governments wishing to conduct official business with DA. For the purposes of this regulation, the term "foreign military attache" applies to both the principal accredited military attaches and accredited assistant military attaches. In addition, the DCS, G2 is the Army lead agent for all official foreign government requests for visits to DA commands or activities and for Army information. All official foreign contacts with the Army in the continental United States (CONUS) must be requested by military attaches diplomatically accredited to the Army or other properly authorized foreign embassy officials on behalf of their respective governments.

(b) Except as authorized by the DCS, G2 or senior Army leadership (Secretary of the Army, Under Secretary of the Army, CSA, Vice Chief of Staff, Army (VCSA) or Director of the Army Staff), foreign representatives are not authorized official contact or communications with either DA personnel or DA organizations in any manner regarding any aspect of official business without prior authorization. Foreign representatives initiating such contact are to be informed that appropriate prior authorization for contact must be obtained on their behalf from the DCS, G2 or their designated DCS, G2 representative by their respective military attaches or other properly authorized foreign embassy officials. Except as required by AR 38112, no report to the DCS, G2 of such unauthorized contact is necessary.

(c) All foreign national requests for information from, and/or contact with, DA personnel or DA organizations, regardless of the mode of transmittal (such as correspondence and email), must be referred to the supporting public affairs office for appropriate action. Except as required by AR 38112, no report to the DCS, G2 of such unauthorized contact is necessary.

(4) *Contacts with foreign representatives*. This regulation governs activities and actions involving representatives of foreign governments and international organizations. Inherent in all contacts with foreign representatives is the exchange of information in various formsoral, visual, or documentary. Policies governing the disclosure of DOD and DA information outside the USG prescribe that disclosed information must be suitable for disclosure to the public or to foreign governments or international organizations in furtherance of a legitimate USG purpose. Therefore, all contacts by foreign representatives with other than public affairs elements of the Army are for the exchange of official information and thus must be authorized government-to-government or commercial exchanges. These contacts include the following:
(a) Visits. Visits by foreign representatives to organizations, agencies, activities, installations, and facilities over which DA exercises administrative control or security cognizance. This category includes visits to commercial firms performing work under contract to DA. DOD and DA contractors must follow the requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) (DOD 5220. 22M), and, where applicable, the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

(b) Foreign liaison officer. A foreign government military member or civilian employee who is authorized by their government to act as an official representative of that government in its dealings with the Army in connection with programs, projects, or agreements of mutual interest to the Army and the foreign government.

(c) Foreign Personnel Exchange Programs. Military or civilian officials of a foreign defense establishment who are assigned to a U.S. DOD component (such as the Army) according to the terms of an applicable international agreement and who perform duties prescribed by a position description for the DOD component (see AR 61410 and AR 7041).

(d) Cooperative program personnel. Foreign government personnel assigned to an international program office hosted by DA or a foreign government pursuant to the terms of an International Cooperative Program Agreement who report to and take direction from a DA program manager (PM) (or PM equivalent) for the purpose of carrying out the international program or project (see AR 7041).

(e) Meetings and symposia. Attendance by foreign representatives at meetings and symposia sponsored or hosted by DA.

b. This regulation designates specific DA officials to perform the tasks listed below. (1) Authorize disclosure of DA CMI and CUI to foreign representatives. (2) Identify foreign representatives authorized to receive DA CMI and CUI. (3) Prescribe channels and methods used to obtain disclosure determinations and explain how to physically accomplish transmittal of information.

c. This regulation prescribes the duties and responsibilities of personnel designated as foreign disclosure officers
(FDOs) and foreign disclosure representatives (FDRs).

d. This regulation prescribes the duties and responsibilities of personnel designated in writing as Army contact officers for foreign representatives who are certified as liaison officers, or assigned as exchange or cooperative program personnel (CPP) to DA commands or agencies.

e. This regulation prescribes the duties and responsibilities of personnel designated as visit POCs for foreign representatives who are visiting DA commands or agencies.

f. This regulation does not govern the foreign disclosure of certain types of information, the dissemination of which is handled through other than Army foreign disclosure channels. The types of information not covered by this regulation are
(1) *Sensitive compartmented information*. Sensitive compartmented information (SCI), including data related to equipment, methods, or techniques involved in production of SCI (see AR 38028).

(2) *National intelligence*. National and interdepartmental intelligence produced within the National Foreign Intelligence Board structure (see AR 3805).

(3) *Counterintelligence*. Counterintelligence operational information (see AR 38120).

(5) *Strategic information*. Strategic planning information and related guidance, as designated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

(6) *Communications security*. Equipment or information relating to communications security (COMSEC), such as cryptographic devices and systems (see AR 38040).

(7) *North Atlantic Treaty Organization information*. Information that is in North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) channels as a result of previously approved foreign disclosure and has NATO classification markings. NATO information held by DA agencies and commands may be disclosed to a representative of NATO or one of its member nations if the prospective recipient has a valid need-to-know and possesses a current NATO security clearance (see AR 3805).

(8) *Automated information systems information outside the continental United States*. Unclassified information that has been, is, or can be deemed suitable for disclosure to local nationals employed in overseas Army computer and/or communications facilities (see AR 252).

(9) *Special access programs*. Information covered under special access programs (see AR 380381).

(10) *Controlled unclassified information*. Controlled unclassified information not covered under paragraph 15a(2)
to which access or distribution limitations have been applied according to national laws, policies, and regulations of the USG. These types of information include but are not limited to: patent secrecy data, confidential medical records, interand intra-agency memoranda that are deliberative in nature, certain data compiled for law enforcement purposes, data obtained from a company on a confidential basis, employee personal data, and internal rules and practices of a government agency that, if released, would circumvent an agency policy and impede the agency in the conduct of its mission. Foreign governments and international organizations do not routinely request access to these types of CUI under Army international cooperative programs. As such, this regulation does not cover such disclosures. CUI disclosures of this nature will be made according to governing regulations.

(11) *Classified military information, when such release is to U.S. permanent resident aliens*. U.S. permanent resident aliens' access to CMI is governed by AR 3805.

(12) *Privacy Act information*. Information withheld from public disclosure under the Privacy Act (see AR 34021).

(13) *Information in the public domain*. Unclassified information that has been, is, or can be deemed suitable for disclosure to the public at large (such as Web sites) according to AR 3601.

(15) *Proprietary information*. Classified or unclassified proprietary information, the rights to which are owned by private firms or citizens (such as patents, copyrights, and trade secrets). Disclosure cannot be made without the owner's consent, unless such disclosure is authorized by relevant legislation, and then disclosure will be subject to such legislation.

g. The visit request requirements of this regulation do not apply to the following: (1) Non-government-to-government visits (see AR 19013). (2) Training of foreign personnel under invitational travel orders (ITOs), including foreign students under a security assistance program (see AR 1215) when the visit data is being entered into the Cornerstone database by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

(3) Visits conducted at contractor facilities that involve access only to unclassified information, provided such information is authorized for disclosure pursuant to the Department of State's ITAR or the Department of Commerce's EAR, a pertinent Government contract does not require a Government-approved visit authorization, and the visit will have no direct impact on DOD activities or responsibilities at the facility (see DOD 5220.22M).

(4) Visits to Army or DA contractor facilities by foreign national employees of U.S. contractors (see DOD 5220.

22M).

(5) Visits by foreign nationals, who are not representing their governments in an official capacity, to Army activities and DA contractor facilities (see AR 19013 or DOD 5220.22M).

(6) Unclassified visits by Canadian government officials and certified Canadian contractors under the U.S. Canada Joint Certification Program (according to ITAR).

(7) Visits for activities that are open to the public or hosted by the public affairs office (see AR 3601 and AR
19013).

(8) Visits that do not involve access to classified information or programs that are sponsored, controlled, administered, or recorded by the U.S. European Command under its Joint Contact Team Program, established according to Section 168, Title 10, United States Code (10 USC 168), provided that the visitors are traveling on ITOs.

(9) Visits for social activities and official activities to which members of the public have been invited. Such visits will involve the release of public domain information only (see AR 19013).

(10) Authorized routine or emergency medical treatment, and transient purposes (such as brief stopovers on a flight).

Such visits will involve the release of public domain information only (see AR 19013).

h. This regulation specifically prohibits the disclosure of classified or controlled unclassified: (1) Information acquired from a foreign government or international organization to a third party without the written consent of the originator.

(2) Combined information without the consent of all parties that contributed to the product. (3) Joint information without prior agreement of all parties having jurisdiction. (4) Information originated by an agency outside of DA without the consent of the original classification authority or originator.

(5) Terms of a bilateral or multilateral agreement without the consent of all parties. i. This regulation does not affect or modify the responsibility vested in the Director of National Intelligence pursuant to Public Law 80253 (the National Security Act of 1947, as amended) and Section 6 of Public Law 81110 (the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Act of 1949, as amended), for protecting intelligence sources and methods from unauthorized disclosure. Further, any authority or responsibility vested in the Secretaries of State, Defense, or Energy or the Director of Central Intelligence is not affected by this regulation. Such authority and responsibility to make determinations regarding disclosures of classified information to foreign recipients are established by law, executive order, or other Presidential authorization.

## General Disclosure Policies, Authority To Disclose, And Delegation Of Authority Section I Introduction

21. Concept a. National Defense Strategy summary. The U.S., its friends and allies, face a world of complex challenges and great opportunities. Since the terrorist attacks of 2001, we have been engaged in conflict unlike those that came before. The U.S. has worked with its partners to defeat the enemies of freedom and prosperity, assist those in greatest need, and lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. The National Defense Strategy builds on lessons learned and insights from previous operations and strategic reviews and establishes five objectives: defend the homeland; win the long war; promote security; deter conflict; and win our nation's wars. The presence of American forces overseas is a profound symbol of the U.S. commitment to its allies and partners. The U.S. military presence plays a critical role in assuring allies and partners that the nation will honor its obligations and is a reliable security partner. Through its willingness to use force in its own defense and that of others and to advance common goals, the U.S. demonstrates its resolve and steadiness of purpose and the credibility of the U.S. military to meet the nation's commitments and responsibilities. Toward these ends, the DOD promotes security cooperation with allies and partner nations. A primary objective of U.S. security cooperation is to help allies and partners create favorable balances of power in critical areas of the world to deter aggression or coercion. Security cooperation serves as an important means for linking DOD's strategic direction with those of U.S. allies and partners.

b. Role of foreign disclosure in United States National Defense Strategy. U.S. sharing of its military resources (such as CMI or CUI resident in technology and materiel) is a critical component of security cooperation. CMI is a national security asset. It may be disclosed to foreign governments and international organizations only under certain conditions. First, the national security and other legitimate interests of the USG must be demonstrably furthered by doing so. Second, the information must be approved for disclosure by the appropriate USG disclosure official. Third, the country must be eligible for the information to be disclosed and the disclosure criteria and conditions of NDP1, as set forth in this chapter, must be satisfied. The proper application of the provisions of NDP1 will facilitate the timely disclosure of CMI and transfer of critical technologies and materiel to allied and friendly nonallied countries and, at the same time, will afford the proper protection of these critical military technologies and materiel, thereby contributing significantly to the attainment of U.S. national security goals and objectives.

c. Classified military information disclosure support to National Defense Strategy. While U.S. participation in bilateral or multilateral agreements does not automatically authorize the disclosure of CMI to their participants, the lack of an international agreement does not necessarily preclude disclosure. Each potential disclosure of CMI must be evaluated on its own merit. A disclosure determination must be made by a designated disclosure authority, following the criteria established in this regulation.

22. False impression U.S. policy is to avoid creating false impressions of its readiness to make available classified military materiel, technology, or information. Therefore, initial discussions with foreign governments and international organizations concerning programs that might involve the eventual disclosure of CMI may be conducted only if it is explicitly understood and acknowledged that no U.S. commitment to furnish such classified information or material is intended or implied until disclosure has been approved. Accordingly, proposals to foreign governments and international organizations that result from either U.S. or combined initial planning and that may lead to the eventual disclosure of classified military materiel, technology, or information, including intelligence threat data or countermeasures information, must be authorized either by designated disclosure officials in the departments and agencies originating the information or by the NDPC.

23. Categorization of military information a. Classified military information. CMI is information that a competent authority has determined to be of such sensitivity that it requires special designation and protection in the interest of national security, that it must be subject to special controls, and that access to it must be limited to personnel whose successful performance of duty clearly requires such access (need-to-know) and who have been specifically cleared for such access. According to its degree of sensitivity, CMI is identified by levels of security classification: "CONFIDENTIAL," "SECRET," or "TOP SECRET" (see AR 3805 for details regarding the classification of defense information).

b. Unclassified information. Information that a competent authority has determined not to require the degree of protection afforded by the application of a security classification.

(1) *Controlled unclassified information*. A categorical designation that refers to unclassified information that does not meet the standards for National Security Classification in accordance with EO 13526, but is pertinent to the national interests of the U.S. or to the important interests of entities outside the Federal Government and under law or policy requires protection from unauthorized disclosure, special handling safeguards, or prescribed limits on exchange or dissemination.

(2) *Public domain*. For the purposes of this regulation, unclassified information that does not qualify for the status of CUI, as described in paragraph 23b(1), is deemed to be actually or potentially in the public domain (in other words, suitable for disclosure to the public at large). All Army information must be reviewed prior to release to the public. The proponent for the disclosure of Army public domain information is the Army Public Affairs Office.

24. Categories of military information a. To facilitate the decision process for foreign disclosure, the NDP1 divides CMI into eight categories. For the purposes of this regulation, the Army applies these functional definitions to the identification and categorization of CUI as well. Designations and definitions of these categories are described below.

(1) *Category 1 (Organization, Training, and Employment of Military Forces)*. Military information of a general nature necessary to the organization of military, paramilitary, or irregular forces, to include those tactics, techniques, and tactical doctrine (including intelligence and counterintelligence) necessary to train and employ those forces. This category does not include specific technical data and training necessary to operate and maintain individual items of military materiel and munitions.

(2) *Category 2 (Military Materiel and Munitions)*. All military materiel, arms, and munitions procured and controlled by the USG for the equipage, operation, maintenance, and support of its military forces or of the military, paramilitary, or irregular forces of its allies. Items developed by U.S. private interests as a result of USG contracts or derived from technology paid for by the USG are included in this category. This category also includes information on technical data and training necessary to operate, maintain, or support specific military materiel, arms, or munitions.

(a) Build-to-print. Assumes the country receiving the information has the capability to replicate an item, subsystem, or component from technical drawings and specifications alone without technical assistance. Disclosure of supporting documentation (for example, acceptance criteria or object code software for numerical controlled machines) is permissible. Disclosure of any information that discloses design methodology, engineering analysis, detailed process information, or manufacturing know-how associated with the end item, its subsystems or components is excluded. Build-toprint is not considered production information and will be handled through normal Category 2 technology transfer channels.

(b) Assembly information. Normally associated with hardware (parts or kits to be assembled, special tooling or test equipment to accomplish specific tasks) and information that allows assembly and testing of the finished product. Only top-level drawings will be disclosed. Detailed assistance is not to be provided, wherein such assistance would provide production or manufacturing techniques. Assembly information is not considered production information and will be handled through normal Category 2 technology transfer channels.

(3) *Category 3 (Applied Research and Development Information and Materiel)*. Military information resulting from the extension of fundamental theories, designs, and data from purely theoretical or experimental investigation into possible military applications, to include research, the construction and testing of prototypes, and such design changes affecting qualitative performance as may be required during the service life of an item. This also includes engineering data, general operational requirements, concepts, and military characteristics required to adopt an item for production. Development ceases when materiel has completed operational suitability testing or has for all practical purposes been adopted for military use or production. It includes tactics, techniques, and tactical doctrine pertaining to specific equipment not yet in production or yet approved for adoption by U.S. forces.

(4) *Category 4 (Production Information)*.

(a) Manufacturing information. This includes the know-how, techniques, and processes required to produce or substantially upgrade military materiel and munitions. A manufacturing process or technique is a set of instructions for transforming natural substances into useful materials (metals, plastics, and combustibles) or fabricating materials into aerodynamic, mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems, subsystems, and components. Software source code, including related documentation that describes software or development know-how for a particular U.S. warfare system that has completed acquisition milestone B or documentation used for production thereof, is considered to be design and manufacturing data and equivalent to Category 4 (production information). A manufacturing data package describes how to manufacture, test, and accept the item being produced and what tools are required. Types of manufacturing information include drawings, process sheets, wiring diagrams, instructions, test procedures, and other supporting documentation. Software source code and software documentation that contain or allow access and/or insight to classified algorithms or design rationale are considered to be manufacturing information. Unclassified software source code and software documentation that are required for minor software maintenance, interface and/or integration, or to make administrative changes to tables, symbols, markers, or displays will be handled through normal Category 2 technology transfer channels.

(b) Build-to-print and assembly information. See paragraphs 24a(2)(a) and 24a(2)(b).

(5) *Category 5 (Combined Military Operations, Planning, and Readiness)*. That information necessary to plan, assure readiness for, and provide support to the achievement of mutual force development goals or participation in specific combined tactical operations and exercises. Includes installations located within the territory under jurisdiction of, or of direct concern to, the recipient foreign government or international organization.

(6) *Category 6 (U.S. Order of Battle)*. Information pertaining to U.S. forces located within territory that is under the jurisdiction of a recipient government or is otherwise of direct concern to a foreign government or an international organization. In general, authorization for disclosure is limited to U.S. order of battle in the recipient countries or in adjacent geographical areas.

(7) *Category 7 (North American Defense)*. North American Defense information is that which concerns plans, programs, projects, operations, and certain specific technical data pertaining to equipment directly related to North American defense, especially when it is originated by or under the mission and control of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) or the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). It includes but is not limited to
(a) Plans and related documents prepared by combined U.S. defense agencies concerning the defense of the U.S.

(b) Plans and related documents prepared in combination with the Government of Canada, either binationally (that is, NORAD) or bilaterally (that is, between USNORTHCOM and Canada Command).

(c) Plans and related documents prepared in combination with the Government of Mexico and the Government of the Bahamas.

(d) U.S. operational and logistics plans for employment of reserve forces.

(e) Information revealing a vulnerability to the defense of North America, or the vulnerability or official appraisal of combat readiness of any unit or facility, or the effectiveness of North American Defense systems.

(8) *Category 8 (Military Intelligence)*. Military intelligence comprises information of a military character pertaining to foreign nations and is subject to the criteria for disclosure of intelligence stated in the NDP1.

b. Unclassified information is not formally categorized, but the designations and descriptions above are used by the Army to ensure consistency and as a baseline for disclosure decisionmaking.

25. Maximum delegated disclosure levels NDP1 has established maximum classification levels within each category of CMI that may be disclosed to foreign governments or international organizations by DA. Maximum classification levels are depicted on charts in annex A of NDP1. As a cautionary note, Army personnel are reminded that these charts do not automatically convey any foreign eligibility for information.

a. DA does not have the authority to authorize the disclosure of CMI that exceeds the established maximum classification level for the nature of the information in question as outlined in NDP1.

b. CMI exceeding the maximum classification level may still be considered for disclosure if warranted by significant U.S. interests. Basic disclosure criteria, conditions, and limitations in paragraphs 26 and 27 must be fully satisfied. The DA organization proposing or supporting disclosure of the CMI in question may propose an ENDP.

c. ENDPs, other than those specifically granted by the Secretary of Defense or Deputy Secretary of Defense, will be granted only by the NDPC. All Army requests for ENDPs will be forwarded through command or agency channels to the appropriate HQDA proponent for coordination and submission to DCS, G2, which reviews, coordinates, and submits the request to the NDPC (see app B).

d. ENDPs will not be granted to accommodate the assignment of FLOs, cooperative program and/or project personnel, and foreign exchange personnel.

26. Basic disclosure criteria
All disclosure determinations, whether they involve CMI or CUI, are adjudicated on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, proposed disclosure programs must be reviewed in their entirety in order to determine whether the disclosure of CMI is required at some point in the program. Central to this process is the evaluation of the proposed disclosure to ensure it satisfies the criteria stated below.
a. Categories 17. Disclosures in Categories 17 may be made when all of the following criteria are addressed and
satisfied:
(1) *Political criteria.* Disclosure is consistent with U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives regarding the
recipient foreign government or international organization.
(a) The potential foreign recipient's support for U.S. foreign policy and political objectives.
(b) The potential of the transfer to deny or reduce an influence or presence in the country that is hostile to U.S.

(d) How the transfer would increase the capability of friendly regional forces to provide regional security to assist the U.S. in the protection of strategic lines of communication.

(e) How the transfer will strengthen U.S. or allied power projection. (f) To what extent the transfer is in consonance with U.S. military plans. (g) Whether or not the export is consistent with Army regional multinational force compatibility (MFC) policy. (h) Whether or not the system or item is a force structure requirement. (i) Whether or not the country's technology base can support the item. (j) To what degree the system or item counters the country's threat. (k) To what extent the system constitutes part of an appropriate force and systems mix. (l) Logistical support that will be required (maintenance, parts, instruction, personnel, changes, or updates). (m) What components are classified? What elements are critical? Does the system or do its components represent a significant advance in the state-of-the-art?

(n) What precedent exists for disclosure of this particular system? What other countries have this system? Are export versions available? Are comparable systems (foreign or domestic) using the same technology already in the marketplace?

(o) Can the critical technology resident in the system be reverse engineered? If so, what level of effort (in terms of time, funding, and manpower) is required based on the technological capability of the foreign recipient?

(p) Has the technology or information resident in one Army program been leveraged from another Army or other military department weapons program? If so, has the original Army or other military department weapons PM reviewed and rendered a recommendation on the request? The technology or information may not be listed as critical program information (CPI) for one program, but may be identified as CPI for another program.

(q) Are there any special considerations involved with the disclosure that requires coordination external to the Army? (For example, COMSEC, low observable, and cryptologic information.) If so, have proper approvals been obtained?

(r) Will the disclosure of advanced technology, if compromised, constitute an unreasonable risk to the U.S. position in military technology and operational capabilities, regardless of the intended recipient?

(3) Security assurances. (a) Disclosure is contingent upon security assurances provided by a foreign government. The Departments of State and Defense have concluded General Security of Military Information Agreements (GSOMIAs) and other bilateral security arrangements with various foreign governments. These security agreements or arrangements outline the responsibilities of both parties pertaining to the safeguarding of U.S. CMI. The existence of a security agreement or arrangement with a foreign government satisfies the security assurance requirement for that foreign government. In exceptional circumstances, fulfillment of U.S. interests may require disclosure of CMI to foreign elements without a formal agreement providing for adequate security protection. A disclosure of this nature may be authorized by DCS, G2, after appropriate coordination with national agencies having a direct interest in the disclosure. If authorized, the foreign recipient will meet the following conditions:
1. The information or acknowledgment of its possession will not be revealed to a third party, except with the prior consent of the U.S. originating department or agency.

2. The information will only be used for specified military-related purposes. 3. The recipient will report promptly and fully to U.S. authorities any known or suspected compromise of U.S. CMI
disclosed to them.

4. All individuals and facilities that will have access to CMI will have security clearances granted by their government at a level equal to that of the classified information involved and an official need-to-know.

5. The foreign recipient of the information has agreed to abide by or meet U.S.-specified special terms and conditions for the disclosure.

(b) The foreign recipient has the capability and willingness to afford it substantially the same degree of security protection given to it by the USG. Guidance in determining a foreign government's capability and willingness to protect U.S. information may be determined by a U.S. embassy security assessment, CIA risk assessment, or NDPC security survey report.

(4) U.S. benefits. Disclosures will result in benefits to the U.S. at least equivalent to the value of the information disclosed. For example:
(a) The U.S. obtains information from the recipient nation on a quid-pro-quo basis.

(b) The exchange of military information or participation in a cooperative project will be advantageous to the U.S.

from a technical or other military standpoint.

(c) The development or maintenance of a high level of military strength and effectiveness on the part of the foreign government receiving the information will be advantageous to the USG.

(5) Disclosure limits. The disclosure is limited to information necessary to the purpose for which disclosure is made. b. Category 8. Disclosures in Category 8 (Military Intelligence) will be made according to NDP1 and Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Regulation 5027.

27. Establishment of disclosure programs pursuant to international agreements a. The disclosure of DA CMI or CUI to foreign governments or international organizations may be prompted by DA
participation in activities stemming from international and functional agreements negotiated and concluded according to applicable ARs. Upon conclusion, these agreements form the basis on which disclosure determinations will be made.

b. DA must avoid giving the false impression that the Army may subsequently approve classified disclosures. DA
officials responsible for reviewing, providing input on, or negotiating an agreement must ensure that disclosure implications of potential agreements are identified prior to the initiation of discussions regarding such agreements.

c. A proposed or draft agreement is to be examined in its entirety to determine whether any aspect of it might result in the disclosure of CMI. Examination must not be limited to introductory or promotional material, but must consider possible follow-on disclosures of CMI that could result from the disclosures initially proposed. Initial examination occurs at the appropriate command or agency at which the proposed agreement originates. It will be accomplished with the assistance of the command or agency FDO to ensure the agreement complies with the policies prescribed in this regulation. DA proponents will ensure that the views of all affected parties (including the U.S. Defense Attache Office (USDAO), and so on) are obtained and considered (if appropriate) for incorporation into the draft agreement.

d. If the FDO determines that CMI or CUI will or is likely to be disclosed, the FDO will provide a disclosure recommendation regarding whether nonbinding preliminary discussions should commence. If the decision is to commence nonbinding preliminary discussions, the FDO will
(1) Ensure that the discussions are marked with a caveat stipulating that any disclosure is not to be construed as a USG commitment to engage in any cooperative venture.

(2) Refer all disclosure requests to the appropriate HQDA proponent for consideration. The HQDA proponent will complete coordination as may be necessary among other HQDA agencies before requesting disclosure authority from DCS, G2.

## Section Ii Authority To Disclose Classified Military Information, Controlled Unclassified Information, And Delegation Of Disclosure Authority

28. Classified military information disclosure authority and delegation of authority a. Under the provisions of NDP1, the Secretary of the Army has been delegated the authority to disclose CMI

(3) *Delegated disclosure authority at Army commands and below.* DCS, G2 or their designee will issue DDLs to commands and agencies below HQDA, as required.

(4) *Redelegation.* This authority to disclose CMI is not authorized without specific written authorization from DCS, G2 or their designee. Fully justified proposals regarding further delegation of disclosure authority will be submitted through command or agency channels to DCS, G2. If approval is granted, DCS, G2 will issue a DDL.

29. Controlled unclassified information disclosure authority and delegation of authority a. Authority. Authority to disclose CUI identified in DODD 5230.25 is delegated to the originator or proponent of that information. CUI disclosure decisions will be made using the same basic disclosure criteria (see paragraph 26) as that used for CMI disclosure decisions and will comport with any and all relevant laws, regulations, and/or policies pertaining to the specific type of CUI at issue.

b. Redelegation. ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders and agency heads are authorized to redelegate disclosure authority for CUI covered by this regulation, subject to any other relevant laws, regulations, or policies pertaining to the specific type of CUI at issue.

c. Notice of intent to disclose Army controlled unclassified information. ACOM FDOs will provide advance notification of intent to disclose CUI to the Army CUI originator. Army CUI originators will acknowledge receipt of disclosure notifications and provide responses within 15 calendar days from notification of intent to disclose. A nonresponse from the CUI originator by the 15 calendar day suspense will be considered a concurrence. In cases where the Army CUI originator denies a proposed disclosure, the original notice of intent to disclose and the originator's denial and justification must be forwarded to the DCS, G2 (DAMICDD), who will serve as the final arbiter for the CUI disclosure decision. Based on the country categories listed in the Department of the Army Security Cooperation Strategy, FDOs will adhere to the following timelines for advance notification:

(1) Global Core Partner: 60 calendar days prior to disclosure.
(2) Key Army Partner: 75 calendar days prior to disclosure. (3) Regional Partner: 100 calendar days prior to disclosure. (4) Special Interest Country: 135 calendar days prior to disclosure.
210. Delegation of disclosure authority letter A DDL is a document issued by the DCS, G2, a delegated disclosure authority, or authorized proponent establishing classification levels, categories, scope, and limitations of information under Army's disclosure jurisdiction that may be disclosed to a foreign government or international organization representative. It is used to delegate authority to subordinate commands and agencies for the disclosure of CMI and CUI to foreign governments or international organizations in support of approved Army or DOD international programs or operational activities. DDLs will be prepared in accordance with appendix D. Unless otherwise specified, all DDLs will have an expiration date not later than five years from the DDL's date of approval. DDLs are intended for internal Army use only and will not be provided to, nor will their contents be disclosed to, foreign representatives (see app D). Authorities conveyed in any DDL are specific and restricted in applicability to the scope of the specific effort they support. Organizations are strictly prohibited from using or transferring disclosure authorities from one DDL to another.

a. Classified military information delegation of disclosure authority letter. A DDL that authorizes the disclosure of CMI will be prepared collectively by the host DA command or agency proponent for the international or operational activity involved, FDO, subject matter expert, and all other affected parties within the command or agency and then forwarded through command or agency channels to DCS, G2 for approval. If the DDL is part of a more comprehensive proposal, the DDL will be forwarded as part of the entire packet to the HQDA proponent. For example, a proposal involving the establishment of a new FLO position for assignment to a program executive office (PEO) PM will be forwarded through PEO channels to the ASA (ALT) for appropriate staffing. DCS, G2, or their designee, is the approval authority for all CMI DDLs and revisions to CMI DDLs. As a matter of policy, DCS, G2 will not approve blanket or overarching DDLs, such as organizational DDLs submitted by an ACOM, ASCC, or DRU that authorize disclosure authority for all or portions of its major subordinate commands. Local FDOs may approve administrative modifications to CMI DDLs, such as a change of contact officer.

b. Controlled unclassified information delegation of disclosure authority letters. With the exception of FLO DDLs, DCS, G2, or their designee, grants ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders, or their designated representatives (for example, primary staff officers), program executive officers, PMs, directors, and original classification authorities (OCAs) delegated authority to approve DDLs that only authorize the disclosure of unclassified information. This authority may not be redelegated. All approved CUI DDLs will be accompanied by an approval cover memorandum signed by the ACOM, ASCC, and/or DRU commander, or their designated representatives, program executive officers, PMs, directors, or OCAs in order to establish authority and accountability. For the purposes of the policy specified in this paragraph, FDOs are not recognized as a designated representative with signature authority unless they are an authorized signature authority on behalf of the commander, program executive officer, PM, or director.

211. Responsibilities and establishment of foreign disclosure officers, foreign disclosure representatives, and contact officers a. Foreign disclosure officer. A FDO is a DA member appointed to oversee and control coordination and approval of specific disclosures of CMI and CUI. FDOs will be of sufficient military or civilian rank to make disclosure decisions on behalf of their organization's commander. FDOs are authorized for appointment to the lowest command or agency level that is the proponent for Army-originated, Army-developed, or Army-derived CMI and that routinely discloses U.S. CMI to foreign governments or international organizations in support of approved Army international programs or operational activities. Foreign disclosure is an inherently governmental function, therefore contractor personnel may not perform the duties of a FDO.

(1) *Foreign disclosure officer appointments.* FDO appointments will be in writing and FDOs will maintain a copy of their appointment orders in SENTRY. Notification of such appointments will be made to ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs which will provide the DCS, G2 a consolidated FDO list no later than 15 January annually. Additionally, ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs will certify that all personnel identified as FDOs have completed the required FDO certification training. FDOs or personnel within the security chain-of-command will not serve concurrently as contact officers for FLOs, foreign exchange personnel, or CPP participants.

(2) *Foreign disclosure officer training.* All FDOs are required to successfully complete the Army's Foreign Disclosure Officer Certification Course and DOD's International Programs Security Requirements Course within 30 days of appointment. A copy of the certificates will be maintained in SENTRY. Appendix F provides a reference list of frequently asked questions regarding foreign disclosure that all FDOs must be able to answer.

(3) Foreign disclosure officer responsibilities. (a) Be thoroughly familiar with the provisions and requirements set forth in this regulation.

(b) Serve as the primary point of contact for all command, organization, and/or activity foreign disclosure issues to include those related to the International Visits Program and issues of misconduct.

(c) Prepare command, organization, and/or activity foreign disclosure education and training per paragraph 212.

(d) Ensure command, organization, and/or activity foreign disclosure related information posted in the SENTRY
database is up to date.

(e) Obtain and maintain a FVS account on the SPAN located on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network
(SIPRNET) or seek a waiver from the DCS, G2. Accounts may be requested from the DOD FVS office, email at DTSASPANSupport@dtsa.mil.

(f) Oversee the activities of all command, organization, and/or activity appointed FDRs. b. Foreign disclosure representative. A FDR is an individual designated in writing who assists and advises the FDO
on all disclosure matters. FDRs can be either DA members or Army-employed contractor personnel. FDRs may be appointed at any level of command to provide foreign disclosure assistance and recommendations. FDRs will not make CMI disclosure decisions. FDRs are required to successfully complete the Army's Foreign Disclosure Officer Certification Course. The authority for FDRs who are DA members to disclose CUI will be in accordance with local policies and procedures. FDRs who are contractor personnel will not make any disclosure decisions.

c. Contact officer. A contact officer is a DA member appointed in writing to oversee and facilitate all contacts, requests for information, consultations, access, and other activities of foreign nationals who are assigned to a DA component or subordinate organization as extended visitors. All personnel designated as contact officers are required to complete an Army Contact Officer Certification Course and provide proof of completion to their servicing FDO. The FDO will maintain a copy of the contact officer's appointment orders, training certificate, as well as pertinent administrative data in SENTRY. Contact officer responsibilities are outlined in appendix O.

212. Foreign disclosure training and education a. General policy. Commanders and those DA officials who have disclosure authority and missions will establish foreign disclosure education programs. These programs will be aimed at promoting quality performance of foreign disclosure responsibilities by command personnel and will be tailored, as much as possible, to the specific involvement of individuals in the foreign disclosure program and the command's mission. The program will
(1) Provide the necessary information and guidance to ensure the foreign disclosure effort is fully integrated into all facets of the command and/or organization's roles, functions, and missions that involve foreign participation.

(2) Ensure that all assigned personnel within the command and/or organization can apply foreign disclosure policies and concepts in a consistent manner that is relevant to the command and/or organization's roles, functions, and missions that involve foreign participation.

(3) Ensure that foreign disclosure actions and activities add value to the command and/or organization's roles, functions, and missions that involve foreign participation.

(4) Ensure that foreign disclosure actions and activities remain in the proper balance with respect to protecting critical technologies and information.

b. Briefings.

(1) *Initial foreign disclosure orientation*. All DA personnel upon assignment and in-processing will be provided an initial orientation. At a minimum, this orientation will include:
(a) The fact that the Army has a foreign disclosure program and it is required to support and implement Army, DOD and national policy; and U.S. law with respect to interaction with foreign governments and international organizations;
(b) That AR 38010 governs foreign disclosure and contacts with foreign representatives;
(c) Fundamental disclosure principles such as methods of disclosure and the requirement for established delegated disclosure authority in order to effect disclosures; and,
(d) The name and contact information of the command and/or organization's FDO and/or FDRs. (2) *Refresher training*. All DA employees, especially those who play a role in the foreign disclosure program, will be provided refresher training in their responsibilities regarding foreign disclosure at least once a year. The actual frequency and nature of continuing foreign disclosure education must be determined by the needs of the command's foreign disclosure program and the nature of the command personnel involved in the program. At a minimum, all personnel will receive annual refresher training that reinforces the policies, principles, and procedures covered in initial and specialized foreign disclosure training. Whenever foreign disclosure policies and procedures change, personnel whose duties would be impacted by these changes must be briefed regarding such changes as soon as possible.

213. Foreign disclosure channels and general decision procedures To promote prompt and judicious disclosure determinations while maintaining the required degree of control and providing operational flexibility, it is essential to establish specific channels in which to process foreign disclosure requests.

a. Deputy Chief of Staff, G2 role. DCS, G2 or their designee is to receive and respond to all foreign disclosure requests for CMI. In the situations cited below, the DCS, G2 or their designee has issued DDLs to appropriate commands or agencies to receive and respond to foreign disclosure requests.

(1) A request by a foreign representative during an approved visit is to be addressed by the designated DA host.

(2) A request by a certified FLO, foreign exchange officer, or CPP is to be addressed directly to the DA command or agency to which the individual is certified. That command or agency will render a response.

(3) A request by a certified British, Canadian, Australian, or New Zealand (BCA) Armies StanRep is to be addressed directly to the respective parent government national point of contact (NPOC), who oversees the topic of the requested information.

(4) Requests relating to the acquisition of defense articles and services or relating to munitions licenses are to be processed through security assistance channels to ASA (ALT).

(5) Requests rendered in channels specified in certain approved international cooperative R&D agreements (for example, Defense Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Information Exchange Program agreements according to DODI 2015.4) are to be addressed by the proponent or originator of the international agreement.

(6) Requests addressed to OCONUS Army service component commands of unified commands in channels specified in international agreements regarding combined planning, training and/or exercises, and operations are processed by the Army service component command.

(7) Requests through the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) are sent to the FDO of the command or agency originating the document. Commands and agencies that recommend denials of foreign government or international organization requests for classified documents through DTIC will refer their recommendations to DCS, G2 for final review and decision.

b. Foreign disclosure requests. All requests for the disclosure of CMI to a foreign government or international organization, irrespective of point of receipt within DA, will be referred through FDO command channels to the HQDA staff agency, ACOM, ASCC, or DRU exercising program responsibility, unless disclosure authority has been delegated.

c. Coordination and development of disclosure recommendations and/or decisions. (1) Prior to rendering a decision on a recommendation or forwarding a recommendation to HQDA for a decision, if required, ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs will coordinate with all affected DA organizations to develop a fully staffed and coordinated command or DA position.

(2) Comments and recommendations on issues related to the disclosure of CMI or CUI will address the degree to which the disclosure request satisfies each of the basic disclosure criteria cited in paragraph 26. Additionally, the following considerations should assist commands or agencies in formulating their recommendations:
(a) Whether the information has previously been approved for disclosure to another foreign government of substantially equivalent status and, if so, when, by whom, and in what form or context.

(b) Whether the foreign government in question possesses the capability and expertise to use and protect the information effectively.

(c) Whether approval of the disclosure in question would affect current or projected DA activities.

(d) Whether the information being considered for disclosure includes or concerns any of the types of information cited in paragraphs 15f(1) through 15f(15). If so, the comments must clearly state the type of information and identify which portions of the information being considered for disclosure are involved.

(e) Whether the information falls within the substantive scope of an existing international agreement that the recipient government has signed. If it does, the following must be identified: NATO panel or working group designator; American, British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand (ABCA) Armies Standardization Program; working group or party or appearance on standardization list; data exchange agreement or data exchange annex (DEA); or memorandum of agreement (MOA) or other international agreement by title and date.

(f) Whether similar information at a lower classification level would satisfy the disclosure requirement being considered. If so, clearly identify the benefits to the Army in disclosing information classified at a higher level to satisfy the disclosure requirement.

(g) Whether the issue has been identified at the Army senior leadership level as having special interest for or against international participation. For example, has the ASA (ALT) identified the issue as one requiring special coordination action at HQDA over and above the normal review process?

(h) Whether the issue requires coordination outside DA (for example, with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, other military Service components, industrial proprietary concerns, or other countries).

214. Army Technology Protection Program The senior Army leadership and the acquisition community recognizes the significance of international technology transfer in attaining our national security goals and objectives and has instituted the requirement for all PMs to develop technology protection documents in support of their respective programs. The following international technology transfer documents are essential parts of the Army's technology protection program:
a. Program protection plan. The program protection plan (PPP) is a DOD-mandated document required for acquisition programs. Development of PPP is the responsibility of the PM, in concert with the appropriate international cooperative program offices and foreign disclosure and/or security offices. The purpose of the PPP is to identify CPI to be protected and to create a management plan that outlines measures to be taken by the PM necessary to protect the system throughout the acquisition process. CPI is defined as information, technologies, or systems that, if compromised, will degrade combat effectiveness, shorten the expected combat-effective life of the system, or significantly alter program direction. CPI should be identified as soon as possible within the acquisition lifecycle. The PPP should be completed no later than milestone B. DODI 5200.39 and DA Pam 703 provide guidance regarding the development of the PPP.

b. Technology assessment/control plan. The technology assessment/control plan (TA/CP) is another DOD-mandated technology protection document that identifies and describes sensitive program information, the risks involved in foreign access to the information, the impact of international transfer of the resulting system, and the development of measures to protect the U.S. technological or operational advantage represented by the system. It is required for all major defense acquisition programs and international agreements (except international cooperative R&D agreements), particularly when the disclosure of CMI is envisioned. Development of the TA/CP is the responsibility of the PM, in concert with appropriate international cooperative program offices and foreign disclosure and/or security offices. In acquisition programs, the TA/CP is a required annex to the PPP and must be completed no later than milestone B. The format for a TA/CP is found at appendix C. Attached to each TA/CP for classified defense acquisition programs and international agreements is a DDL, which describes the scope and limitations about information, to include training, that may be disclosed to specific foreign governments. The formats used for DDLs are at appendix D.

c. Summary statement of intent. The summary statement of intent (SSOI) is a DOD-mandated international cooperative programs document. It is required for all international cooperative R&D programs and replaces the TA/CP requirement for these programs. Development of SSOI is the responsibility of the PM, in concert with the appropriate international cooperative program offices and foreign disclosure and/or security offices. The format for an SSOI is found at appendix E. A DDL is required for all international cooperative R&D programs involving CMI and is forwarded as a companion document to the SSOI.

## Chapter 3 Modes, Methods, And Channels For Classified Military Information Disclosures, Controlled Unclassified Information Disclosures, And Related Administrative Procedures Section I Procedures For Disclosure To Or By Visitor, Exchange, Cooperative, And Liaison Personnel

31. Concept a. In no instance will DA CMI or CUI be disclosed to other than the authorized representatives of the foreign government(s) or international organization(s) for which disclosure has been approved.

b. Disclosure of DA CMI and CUI will sometimes occur as a result of (1) Visits by (a) Foreign representatives to organizational elements or facilities under the jurisdiction or security cognizance of DA. These facilities include U.S. companies performing work under contract to DA. Visits include attendance at, or participation in, meetings, conferences, and symposia sponsored or cosponsored by DA elements (see apps G through I for further details).

(b) DA representatives to organizational elements or facilities under the jurisdiction or security cognizance of foreign governments or international organizations.

(2) Certification of (a) FLOs, including StanReps, certified to DA (see apps J and K). (b) Army liaison officers, including StanReps, to foreign governments and international organizations. (c) Other foreign representatives assigned to the DA workforce (see apps L through N, AR 61410, and AR 7041). (d) DA representatives assigned to the workforces of foreign governments and international organizations. (3) Other foreign requests and DA-initiated proposals to disclose information in documentary form. (4) Requests initiated by U.S. agencies, other than DA, for DA-originated CMI or CUI. c. Visits conducted without ODCS, G2 approval may result in an unauthorized disclosure of DA CMI or CUI.

Hosting Army activities will ensure that foreign visitors who have not obtained a visit approval from the ODCS, G2 are not provided any CMI or CUI. An unauthorized disclosure involving CMI is a security violation requiring notification to the owning proponent and may be a recordable incident and reportable to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in accordance with the procedures outlined in DODM 5200.01 V3 and AR 3805. Unauthorized disclosures of CUI may require a formal security inquiry or investigation. Appropriate management action will be taken to prevent future occurrences. Unauthorized disclosures of CUI involving export-controlled technical data may also result in civil and criminal sanctions against responsible persons. In the event of an unauthorized visit, corrective actions implemented by the hosting activity to prevent future occurrences of unauthorized visits will be provided to ODCS, G2.

32. Department of the Army classified military information disclosed during visits Disclosure of CMI in conjunction with an official visit is contingent on approval of disclosure to the foreign government or international organization involved. Such disclosure determinations will be made by DA officials designated as disclosure authorities. CMI disclosures must be limited to that information authorized to be disclosed to accomplish the purpose of the visit. What is considered essential will be determined from the U.S. perspective only.

a. Foreign visits to Department of the Army activities and Department of the Army contractors. (1) *Official visits*. Official visits to DA elements and DA contractors by foreign representatives, irrespective of the source of the initiative or funding, will be in accordance with appendix I.

(2) *Administrative requirements*.

(a) For visits conducted under the International Visits Program, a visitor's foreign government-issued security clearance status and the required security assurance will be conveyed through RVAs.

(b) For other visits, the DA sponsor is responsible for obtaining and disseminating clearances, as well as security assurances, as applicable. These will be communicated to prospective DA hosts. Such data may be acquired from a CONUS-based foreign military attache office or the appropriate USDAO.

(3) *Methods of disclosure*. CMI disclosures to foreign visitors by DA or DA contractors will normally be in an oral or visual mode, or both. At the discretion of DCS, G2, an exception to allow the disclosure in documentary form (to include notes taken during briefings or discussions) may be made, provided that the visit request security assurance specifically states that the individual may assume custody on behalf of the foreign government and DCS, G2, or their designee, approves the request. The DA host agency or command will transmit such notes in the manner prescribed for document disclosures in section II of this chapter. A receipt must be obtained for classified material provided to foreign representatives, regardless of its classification level. In all cases, the provisions of AR 3805 and DOD 5220.22M will apply.

(4) *Discussions beyond the approved visit purpose*. Visitor requests for discussions outside the approved purpose will be denied, with a recommendation to direct the request to the foreign visitor's military attache in the U.S. for action.

b. Official Department of the Army visits to establishments of foreign governments and international organizations.

DA personnel traveling OCONUS under AR 5546, if such travel involves official interaction with foreign representatives, may be authorized to disclose DA CMI, if such disclosure is mission essential. The existence and scope of any such authorization are to be reflected in area clearance-related communications prescribed in AR 5546.

33. Department of the Army controlled unclassified information disclosed during visits Disclosure of CUI in conjunction with an official visit is contingent on approval of disclosure to the foreign government or international organization involved. Such disclosure determinations will be made by DA officials authorized to disclose CUI. CUI disclosures must be limited to that information authorized to be disclosed to accomplish the purpose of the visit. What is considered essential will be determined from the U.S. perspective only.

a. Foreign visits to Department of the Army activities and Department of the Army contractors in the continental United States.

(1) *Official visits*. Official visits to DA elements and DA contractors by foreign representatives, irrespective of the source of the initiative or funding, will be according to appendix I.

(2) *Administrative requirements*.

(a) For visits conducted under the International Visits Program, a visitor's foreign government-issued security clearance status and the required security assurance will be conveyed through official foreign RVAs.

(b) For other visits, the DA sponsor is responsible for obtaining and disseminating clearances, as well as security assurances, as applicable. These will be communicated to prospective DA hosts. Such data may be acquired from a CONUS-based foreign military attache office or the appropriate USDAO.

(3) *Methods of disclosure*. CUI disclosures to foreign visitors by DA or DA contractors will normally be in an oral or visual mode, or both. At the discretion of the originator, proponent, and/or FDO, an exception to allow the disclosure in documentary form (to include notes taken during briefings or discussions) may be made, provided that the visit request security assurance specifically states that the individual may assume custody on behalf of the foreign government. In all cases, the provisions of AR 3805 and DOD 5220.22M will apply.

(4) *Discussions beyond approved visit purpose*. Visitor requests for discussions outside the approved purpose will be denied, with a recommendation to direct the request to the foreign visitor's military attache in the U.S. for action.

b. Official Department of the Army visits to establishments of foreign governments and international organizations.

DA personnel traveling OCONUS under AR 5546, if such travel involves official interaction with foreign representatives, may be authorized to disclose DA CUI, if such disclosure is mission essential. The existence and scope of any such authorization are to be reflected in area clearance-related communications prescribed in AR 5546.

## 34. Department Of The Army Classified Military Information Or Controlled Unclassified Information Disclosed To Foreign Liaison Officers, Foreign Exchange And Cooperative Program Personnel See Paragraphs 32 Through 33 And Appendixes J Through N For Detailed Information.

35. Documentary requests for United States classified military information and controlled unclassified information Most disclosures of DA CMI and CUI occur through the direct personal interaction described above in paragraphs 31 through 34. However, certain types of foreign government requests are not prompted by personal interaction. These types of requests, which must be submitted in writing, are for disclosures of DA CMI or CUI in documentary form. They are submitted to DCS, G2 unless DCS, G2 has specifically authorized other channels to be used. The subparagraphs below provide guidelines for processing document requests.

a. Security assistance. Foreign requests for CMI or CUI documents regarding the provision of defense articles and services (including publications) will be submitted or referred to AMC and/or U.S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) through established security assistance channels. On receipt, AMC and/or USASAC will
(1) Verify that the request to procure defense articles and services under a security assistance program is legitimate. (2) Coordinate with all affected DA parties and approve, deny, or refer the request to DCS, G2 for actions involving disclosure authority above that delegated to the command or agency. This action will be pursuant to AR 121 and the policies prescribed in this regulation.

(3) Respond on behalf of DA to the authorized foreign representative of the customer country. b. Research and development. Approved international cooperative R&D agreements with accompanying DDLs normally designate specific channels for responding to requests for R&D documents. If so, requests must be submitted through those channels. On receipt of requests, DA authorities designated in the R&D agreement are to
(1) Verify the requester's involvement in the agreement is authentic and the request is within the scope of the agreement.

(2) Accomplish necessary coordination among other affected parties within DA. (3) Approve or deny the disclosure according to delegated authority or refer the matter to the echelon exercising disclosure authority.

(4) Respond on behalf of DA. The approved materials will be provided to the applicable CONUS-based foreign military attache (or designee), USDAO, or U.S. Security Assistance Office.

c. Defense Technical Information Center document requests. The 11 July 1990 Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) signed by the Departments of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, DIA, and DTIC established standard procedures for disclosure determinations regarding DTIC Accession-numbered document requests by the governments of Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Since that time, additional foreign governments and international organizations have been granted DTIC accounts. Foreign government and international organization requests will be processed as follows:
(1) DTIC will send requests for CMI to the command or agency that originated the document. (2) The FDO of that command or agency will coordinate the request with the originator or proponent of the classified document.

(3) The command or agency will effect further coordination, as required. (4) If disclosure approval is decided upon and the command or agency has a DDL that covers the classified information resident in the requested document, the originator or proponent will sanitize (as required) and forward the document and DTIC Form 55 (Defense Technical Information Center Request for Release of Limited Document)
through the FDO to DTIC.

(5) If denial is recommended or the command or agency has not been granted disclosure authority for the classified information resident in the requested document, the command or agency will forward the document and DTIC Form 55, with justification for first-time disclosure or denial, to DCS, G2 for a final determination. Upon rendering a final decision, DCS, G2 will forward the document and the completed DTIC Form 55 to DTIC and make the appropriate entry in SPAN.

d. Other categories. Foreign government and international organization requests for documentary information regarding matters other than in paragraphs 35a through 35c, will be initiated by the embassies according to table 31
and the accompanying notes. When the instructions contained in table 31 direct the request be sent to DCS, G2, these requests, if validated, will be processed in the following manner:
(1) Logged in and assigned a case number. (2) Coordinated with external organizations, as required. (3) Staffed to the command or agency having cognizance over the information. (4) Command or agency is to obtain a copy of the document and review and complete Army coordination with all affected DA commands or agencies, as required. The commander or agency head will
(a) If approving under a DDL issued by DCS, G2 or approval granted by another delegated disclosure authority, mark and sanitize the document, as required, and forward the document to the requesting embassy as prescribed in section II of this chapter. The FDO will notify DCS, G2 of the final decision.

(b) If it is not covered by an existing DDL, forward the document to DCS, G2 for action. Provide a recommendation and detailed justification.

(c) If denying the request, forward the document and justification for denial to DCS, G2 for a final decision.

(d) In all cases, DCS, G2 will administratively close the case upon the rendering of an approved final decision.

(5) For requests involving proprietary data (a) Return the request to the originating foreign embassy and inform the requesting embassy to submit the request to the owner of the proprietary data, or;
(b) Forward the request to the owner of the proprietary data for action and provide a copy of the letter to the requesting embassy; or;
(c) Sanitize the proprietary data from the document (if it is not critical to the text) and render a decision or recommendation regarding the release of the sanitized data.

(d) The FDO will notify DCS, G2 of the action taken to close the case.

(6) If the fulfillment of the request only requires the disclosure of CUI, the originator or proponent will (a) If approved, mark the document and forward it through the FDO to the requesting embassy, according to section II of this chapter. The FDO will notify DCS, G2 of the final decision.

(b) If denying the request, forward the document and justification for denial through the FDO to DCS, G2 for a final decision.

(c) In all cases, DCS, G2 will administratively close the case upon the rendering of an approved final decision.

## Section Ii Administrative Procedures

36. Concept Before DA CMI or CUI that has been approved for disclosure to a foreign government or international organization is actually transferred in documentary form, certain actions are required to avoid false impressions and proliferation of requests for CMI or CUI that clearly are not to be disclosed to the requestor. Responsibility for sanitizing information that is not to be disclosed to the requestor lies with the originator or proponent. The originator or proponent will certify to the FDO that the publication has been sanitized to the extent necessary. The DA command or agency approving disclosure will adhere to the following guidelines:
a. Delete references to documents and information that are not to be disclosed to the foreign requestor. b. Provide only the information that satisfies the requestor's specific requirements with respect to U.S. stated goals and objectives.

c. Prohibit the disclosure of documentary information in draft form. d. Prohibit the disclosure of foreign government CMI or proprietary information without approval, in writing, from the foreign government or contractor in question.

e. Prohibit the disclosure of other U.S. agency CMI or CUI without approval, in writing, from the originator or proponent.

f. Remove or obliterate all distribution lists and bibliographic data (bibliographies, lists of references, bibliographic notes).

## 37. Transmittal Of Classified Military Information Documents And Material To Foreign Governments And International Organizations Cmi That Is Transmitted In Documentary Or Material Form To Recipient Foreign Governments And International Organizations Will Be Transmitted In Accordance With The Requirements Of Ar 3805.

38. Recording classified military information disclosure determinations and transfers The SPAN is an important database that records first-time disclosure decisions involving U.S. CMI to foreign governments and international organizations. The purpose of SPAN is to assist DA decision makers and analysts in reviewing, coordinating, and rendering decisions or recommendations regarding proposals requiring the disclosure of CMI to foreign governments and international organizations. By recording these entries, SPAN can provide a tracking mechanism of the foreign disclosure of all Army CMI. It also can serve as a retrieval tool that can be used to present a comprehensive picture of the disclosures of Army CMI to a foreign government or international organization regarding a specific international program, such as a cooperative R&D project or a security assistance case. Additionally, by capturing all actual first-time disclosures and all denials of U.S. CMI, SPAN can assist in reducing the foreign disclosure decision processing time. For example, if SPAN indicates the CMI being requested for disclosure to a specific foreign government or international organization has been previously disclosed to that foreign government or international organization, the disclosure decision process essentially ends, and the command or agency receiving the request may approve the disclosure of the requested CMI, provided there is present justification for the disclosure. In this case, no additional disclosure authority is required, and no additional entries into SPAN regarding the disclosure of the previously disclosed CMI to the identical foreign government or international organization are required. Therefore, if SPAN is to fulfill its purpose, the expeditious entry of all first-time disclosure decisions involving U.S. CMI is a critical administrative responsibility for all echelons of the Army.

a. SPAN is designed to record decisions regarding foreign disclosure of CMI. These include munitions licenses, strategic trade issues, ENDPs, visits by foreign representatives, certification of foreign representatives, and miscellaneous disclosure determinations (that is, all cases not related to the other five types).

b. All adjudications regarding foreign disclosure of CMI will be recorded in SPAN by the command or agency that actually disclosed the CMI or denied the request for CMI. The DA command or agency that makes the actual disclosure or denies the request is responsible for recording the data within 20 working days of the actual disclosure of CMI or denial decision.

c. DA agencies or commands with SPAN terminals will record the entry online. Those without an online SPAN
capability will make their entries through the Foreign Disclosure System (FDS), which has a SIPRNET interactive form to record the actual disclosure or denial. There is an offline version for those organizations without SIPRNET connectivity. The FDS entry will then be forwarded through organization foreign disclosure channels to the next higher echelon having a SPAN online capability.

39. Foreign access to computers and computer networks The provisions of AR 252 will govern access to Army computer systems (stand-alone or network), to include the Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) and the SIPRNET by FLOs and other foreign officials certified and assigned to Army organizations as well as official foreign government visitors. Disclosure of CMI and CUI through Army computer systems to these foreign government officials will be according to the provisions of this regulation.

## Chapter 4 Technology Protection Program

41. Concept a. This chapter describes the significance and the attention devoted to foreign disclosure's role in the Army's technology protection program. The senior Army leadership recognizes the role foreign disclosure plays in technology protection and has established the SENTRY disclosure decision support system as a means to facilitate the management of this responsibility.

b. The SENTRY foreign disclosure support system provides a secure, Web-based application that promotes a common operational picture for the Army foreign disclosure community and compliments and enforces existing DCS, G2 Foreign Disclosure Branch, business processes.

c. The primary purpose for SENTRY is foreign disclosure decision support and to serve as DA's official repository of all DA DDLs and certified extended visitors. Secondary uses of SENTRY include: providing the FDO community with relevant information needed to address basic disclosure criteria when rendering disclosure decisions; and serving as a library for various resources (for example, security classification guides; directives, regulation, and guidance; program security documentation; National Disclosure Policy Records of Action; information on misconduct by visiting foreign representatives; and so forth) useful in the development of disclosure guidance.

42. SENTRY requirements a. All FDOs and FDRs are required to have an active SENTRY account. FDOs will be responsible for validating that their subordinate unit FDO nominees for a FDO SENTRY account have successfully completed an Army FDO Certification Course and have been appointed as a FDO in accordance with this regulation.

b. Army activities will post all extended visitor terms of certification to SENTRY within 10 business days of approval.

c. The DCS, G2 will post DDLs to SENTRY within 10 business days of approval.

## Appendix B Exceptions To The National Disclosure Policy

B1. Exception to the National Disclosure Policy request a. An ENDP request is required when a potential disclosure of CMI (1) Exceeds NDP1 prescribed maximum classification level for which the prospective foreign government or international organization recipient is eligible within the CMI category in question, or;
(2) Does not comply with any of the basic disclosure criteria and conditions prescribed in chapter 2, or; (3) Exceeds or does not comply with disclosure guidance issued in NDPC Policy Statements. b. Each proposed ENDP is to be sponsored by the HQDA staff agency proponent for the category of CMI that is predominant in the matter at issue. The sponsoring agency will
(1) Task appropriate agencies to provide the complete requisite supporting rationale or justification to DCS, G2, to include compliance with all related NDP1 policy statements, position on the disclosure of cryptographic or COMSEC, and intelligence threat information from the National Security Agency and the intelligence community, respectively, and so on.

(2) Obtain HQDA staff concurrence in seeking the ENDP. (3) Forward formal request for an ENDP to be initiated by DCS, G2.

Note. Due to classification, all electronic ENDP activities will be carried out on SIPRNET.

c. DCS, G2 or their designee will (1) Prepare the proposed ENDP in final form. (2) Coordinate the final ENDP package with the sponsoring HQDA agency prior to submission to the NDPC.

(3) The NDPC will issue its decision in a Record of Action. DCS, G2 will, at a minimum, disseminate the decision, with accompanying disclosure guidance, to the HQDA proponent, the initiator of the request, the appropriate ACOM, ASCC, or DRU and USASAC (if applicable), and post to SENTRY.

## B2. Exception To The National Disclosure Policy Request Format A Sample Format For An Endp Request Is At Figure B1. Appendix C Technology Assessment/Control Plan

C1. Overview DODD 5530.3, DODM 5200.01, AR 55051, and DA Pam 703 set forth the requirements for the development of a TA/CP in support of either an international agreement or a foreign government or international organization involvement in an Army acquisition program.

C2. Technology assessment/control plan development In developing the TA/CP, cognizant DA activities will consider and incorporate, as appropriate, all applicable NDP1 and DOD technology transfer policy guidelines as well as Army disclosure policies. The servicing FDO will assist the sponsor of the international agreement in the development of the TA/CP by providing applicable NDP1 guidance for incorporation into the document.

a. After HQDA review and approval, the TA/CP will be used by the cognizant DA component as the basis for developing negotiating guidance prior to negotiations with a foreign government.

b. DODD 5530.3, DODM 5200.01, AR 55051, and DA Pam 703 also require that the cognizant DA activity develop a DDL (see app D) in conjunction with the TA/CP as part of a request for authority to conclude an agreement. The DDL will provide detailed guidance regarding disclosures of all elements of the system, information, or technology in question. Until the DDL is approved, there can be no promise or actual disclosure of sensitive information or technology. An SSOI (see app E) replaces the TA/CP requirement for all international cooperative R&D programs. For phased international cooperative R&D programs, the SSOI and DDL should address time-phased disclosures of technical data to ensure that sensitive information is protected from premature or unnecessary exposure. The TA/CP and SSOI are the primary source documents for preparation of the DDL to support international agreements and foreign government or international organization involvement in Army acquisition programs.

c. Upon conclusion of the international agreement, the TA/CP or SSOI and the DDL will be updated (as required) to ensure that transfers of defense articles and information by USG or U.S. industry personnel comply with the established agreement, NDP1, and applicable DOD and/or Army security policies and procedures.

## Appendix D Delegation Of Disclosure Authority Letter

D1. General a. A DDL is a document issued by the appropriate designated disclosure authority describing classification levels, categories, scope, and limitations related to information under Army's disclosure jurisdiction that may be disclosed to foreign governments or their representatives for a specified purpose. The DDL serves as the cornerstone of the disclosure program from both an authoritative and administrative perspective. As such, it needs to be specific and relevant to the required purpose. DCS, G2, delegated disclosure authorities, and authorized proponents, approve and issue DDLs for programs or projects regarding the following:
(1) International agreements. (2) FLOs. (3) Army Personnel Exchange Programs (PEPs), ESEPs, and CPPs. (4) Weapon systems. (5) Organizations. (6) Cooperative R&D (that is, DEAs, technology research and development programs (TRDPs), The Technology Cooperation Programs (TTCPs), and so forth).

(7) Requests for proposals (RFPs). (8) Combined military operations and exercises. b. All DDLs will expire no later than 5 years after the date of approval or upon conclusion of the activity requiring disclosures, whichever occurs first.

D2. Requirement a. According to DODDs 5530.3, 5230.11, and 5230.20 as well as DODM 5200.01, AR 55051, and DA Pam 703, a DDL is required for all Army weapons acquisition programs, international agreements, and FLO, StanRep, PEP, ESEP, and CPP positions. This requirement applies to the above-mentioned international programs regardless of whether access to CMI is involved.

b. An approved DDL is required to be in place prior to a commitment to assign a FLO, exchange program participant, CPP participant, or country liaison officer (CLO) to a DA component. A DDL is also required to support disclosures of CMI and CUI during combined operations and exercises or any event, test, evaluation or experiment with foreign government involvement.

c. With the exception of FLO DDLs, ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders, or their designated representatives, program executive officers, PMs, directors, and OCAs may approve DDLs that only authorize the disclosure of unclassified information. However, a hardcopy version of the document, accompanied by an approval cover memorandum signed by the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU commander, or their designated representative, program executive officers, PM, director, or OCA, must be furnished to DCS, G2 within 10 working days of approval and signature. If the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU commander, or their designated representative, program executive officer, PM, director, or OCA exercises their authority to approve a DDL that only authorizes the disclosure of unclassified information, the organization may assign a case number and/or designator to the DDL. An example of an appropriate case number would be "EAMCGE001," which represents the program identification (F=operational FLO, S=security assistance FLO, M=MPEP, E=ESEP, or C=CPP), ACOM, two-letter foreign country code, and number. However, the DCS, G2
will assign the Army DDL designator which is auto-generated by the SENTRY database.

d. Commands submitting DDLs to DCS, G2 for approval will ensure the DDLs submissions include all supporting documentation. Examples of supporting documentation include, but are not limited to: TA/CPs; SSOIs; security classification guides; program protection plans; copy of the international agreement supported by the DDL; and approved extended visitor position descriptions.

D3. Position delegation of disclosure authority letters a. Position delegation of disclosure authority letters. Position DDLs will be established to facilitate the assignment of foreign representatives to positions in DA organizations that will not likely change over time. These positions usually apply to the assignment of FLOs and exchange personnel to DA organizations. Position DDLs are also applicable to Guest Instructors and CLOs under the provisions of AR 1215 and Instructor Pilots under the provision of established international agreements.

b. Position delegation of disclosure authority letters that authorize the disclosure of classified military information.

DA host organizations will conduct a review of foreign representative assignment positions and DDLs at least 90 days prior to the scheduled departure of the incumbent. Upon completion of the review, the DA host organization may revalidate the position and recommend revalidation of the existing DDL for the replacement person (see appendix J regarding cases where the DA host organization recommends major modifications to or termination of the position). For its part, when the DA host organization approves the extended visit authorization (EVA) submitted by the replacement person's parent embassy in Washington, DC, DCS, G2 will simultaneously approve the revalidation of the existing position DDL. Upon approval of the DCS, G2, the DA host organization, through the FDO, will incorporate all applicable administrative modifications to the DDL, such as the case number (see para D4 for additional information) and expiration date.

c. Position delegation of disclosure authority letters that only authorize the disclosure of unclassified information.

With the exception of FLO DDLs, when a DA host organization conducts a review of a foreign representative assignment position at least 90 days prior to the scheduled departure of the incumbent and revalidates the position, the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU commander, or their designated representative, program executive officer, director, or OCA may exercise their authority to approve the supporting DDL provided it only authorizes the disclosure of unclassified information (see para D4). The ACOM, ASCC, or DRU commander, or their designated representative, program executive officer, director, or OCA may also approve modifications to the DDL only if unclassified information remains authorized for disclosure and the changes to the position description have been approved by the HQDA proponent for the international program (see app J regarding cases where the DA host organization recommends termination of a FLO position). A copy of the approved DDL along with the signed approval cover memorandum will be provided to DCS, G2 according to the procedures cited in paragraph D4. Upon receipt of the approved DDL, the DCS, G2 will then render a decision regarding the EVA submitted by the replacement person's parent embassy in Washington, DC, for the placement of the replacement official.

D4. Preparation of delegation of disclosure authority letters a. The command or agency that desires delegated disclosure authority will prepare the DDL for approval. As early as possible in the process, the supporting command or agency FDO will assist and guide, to include coordination with external organizations, the development of the DDL. The FDO will also be responsible for ensuring that all pertinent disclosure questions regarding the supported international program are raised and answered. The DDL is a dynamic document that must be tailored to service the program or event for which it is written. Upon approval, the DDL will be the authority by which the FDO will render disclosure recommendations or decisions in support of the Army international program, provided the FDO is identified in paragraph 4 of the DDL as a disclosure authority for that DDL. Upon receipt of the approved DDL, the command or agency FDO should effect internal Army dissemination of the DDL to all affected parties, such as contact officers, PMs, subject matter experts, USASAC, training and doctrine elements, and operational units with that weapon system in their inventory. All approved DDLs must be accompanied by a signed approval cover memorandum. DDLs that lack a signed approval cover memo are unapproved DDLs and will not be used as the authority to disclose Army information. Formatting of the DDL will be in accordance with AR 2550.

b. At a minimum, a DDL consists of the following eight elements. They should be provided in the order shown and information should be presented in the clearest and easiest-to-use manner. Some DDLs, such as those dealing with people or exercises, will have more than eight elements (for example, contact officer, visit procedures). For complex weapon system DDLs, consideration should be given to breaking out paragraphs 5 and 6 by major subsystems to enhance the usefulness of the DDL. Additionally, system DDLs must include disclosure guidance for the system in a tactical environment. In all instances, the final paragraph of the DDL will be the redelegation paragraph.

(1) *Classification.* This paragraph indicates the highest level of classification ("Unclassified," "Controlled Unclassified," "CONFIDENTIAL," "SECRET," or "TOP SECRET") of information that is authorized for disclosure in support of the program or event. This level must take into account both the various categories of CMI and the country(ies)
involved. This stated classification level does not obligate disclosures at this level, but rather gives authority to do so as the mission requires.

(2) *Disclosure methods.* This paragraph indicates the medium in which the information can be disclosed. There are three types of disclosures: oral, visual and documentary. Disclosure methods can be any combination of the three and depend on the nature of the program or event.

(a) Oral disclosure. Refers to the ability to convey information through conversation. The limiting factor is that information that can be conveyed through speech.

(b) Visual disclosure. Refers to the ability to actually show the information. Visual disclosure also allows study and analysis of the information.

(c) Documentary disclosure. Refers to the ability and authority to convey permanent physical custody of the information to be disclosed. Disclosures of information for temporary purposes, such as information required by a PEP consistent with their position description, is not a documentary disclosure. The PEP may not retain permanent custody of the information when their term expires.

(3) *Categories permitted.* This paragraph identifies which of the eight NDP1 categories of CMI or other types of information may be disclosed. The eight NDP1 categories will also be used for those DDLs only authorizing the disclosure of unclassified information.

(4) *Scope.* This paragraph serves the function of establishing applicability. It specifies who is authorized to disclose the material or information, and, in some instances, to whom disclosure is authorized and under what conditions. It can be used to describe an event (for example, a combined exercise) or a position description of an extended visitor such as a FLO, PEP, ESEP, or CPP. Additionally, the Scope paragraph can address associated installations, agencies, or commands which may be pertinent to the program or event to be included in the disclosure authorization. CMI disclosure authority is generally restricted to original classification authorities.

(5) *Authorized for disclosure.* As precisely as possible, describe the material or information under the cognizance of the disclosure authority cited in the Scope paragraph that can be disclosed. Specify any conditions or limitations to be imposed (for example, time-phasing of disclosure, allowable forms of software, identification of items releasable only as finished, tested items). Information listed in this paragraph as being authorized for disclosure must be consistent with the categories of information listed in paragraph 3 of the DDL. For every category of CMI requested in paragraph 3 of the DDL, at least one specific example of that type of information must be cited in this paragraph.

(6) *Not Authorized for disclosure.* This paragraph specifies the limits of the disclosure authority. It describes material or information that cannot be disclosed. This paragraph is usually broken into two subparagraphs:
(a) General. Information of a general nature which is normally not disclosed. Entries under this category are dependent on the type of DDL being written.

(b) Specific. Specific items listed as not authorized for disclosure must be indicated at the same level of detail as information listed in paragraph 5 of the DDL. Particular attention must be paid to the protection of CPI, if applicable.

(7) *Procedures.* This paragraph captures the business rules of the disclosure program. It specifies the requirements for things such as, review and transfer procedures, access to automation systems and networks, visit procedures, as well as special security procedures or protective measures to be imposed, recording CMI disclosure decisions, the requirement, if any, for coordination both within Army and with outside agencies.

(8) *Redelegation.* Specifies the extent of redelegation of disclosure authority, if any, permitted to subordinate activities. In general, CMI disclosure authority may not be redelegated (see para 28b(4)). When additional paragraphs are required in the DDL (for example, contact officer, visit procedures), the redelegation paragraph is always the last paragraph of the DDL.

c. DDLs that support extended visitors (that is, FLO, PEP, CPP) will have a paragraph that identifies the responsibilities of the DA members who have been assigned as primary and alternate contact officers for the extended visitor. Contact officer responsibilities can be found in appendix O.

d. The name, duty assignment, duty phone number, and duty address of the primary contact officer and any alternate contact officer(s) will be prepared as an enclosure to the DDL.

D5. Warning statement a. From an administrative perspective, each DDL requires a warning statement stipulating that the DDL is an internal Army document that is not to be divulged, in total or in part (except para 5, which may be used in the certification statement form for FLO, PEP, ESEP, and CPP participants to describe the purpose of their assignments to a DA organization or agency), to any foreign government or foreign government representative.

b. The warning statement is to be placed at the top and bottom of each page of the DDL. The warning statement must be upper case, bold and in a larger font than the contents of the document so that it clearly stands out. The warning statement text is as follows: "THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR A COPY OF THIS DDL WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OR FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVE."
c. Additionally, the appropriate classification will be placed at the top and bottom of each page in accordance with current classification marking guidance. Minimum classification of all DDLs is "UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL
USE ONLY."

## Appendix E Summary Statement Of Intent

E1. Concept The SSOI is a DOD-mandated document that is required in support of proposed international cooperative R&D agreements. The FDO supporting the command or agency that sponsors the international cooperative R&D initiative is responsible for assisting in the development of the SSOI, specifically the information required in the security paragraph, as well as the accompanying DDL.

## E2. Format The Format For The Ssoi Is Provided At Figure E1. Appendix F Frequently Asked Questions, Corresponding Answers, And Applicable References

F1. Concept The questions cited below are frequently asked of the foreign disclosure community. The corresponding answers reflect the proper responses to these questions.

## F2. Frequently Asked Questions And Corresponding Answers A List Of Frequently Asked Questions And Corresponding Answers Is Available At Table F1. Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What is proprietary information? Answer: Classified or unclassified information, the rights to which are owned by private firms or citizens (such as patents, copyrights, and trade secrets) (see para 15f(15) and glossary).

Question: Which officials have the authority to approve DDLs? Answer: DDLs, depending on the classification level of information to be disclosed, are approved by the DCS, G2, ACOM, ASCC and DRU commanders, or their designated representatives (for example, primary staff officers), program executive officers, PMs, directors and original classification authorities (see para 210). DCS, G2, or their designee, is the approval authority for all CMI DDLs or revisions thereto.

Question: May a FLO have access to DDLs? Answer: DDLs are intended for internal Army use only and will not be provided to, nor will their contents be disclosed to, foreign representatives (see para 210).

Question: Under a DDL, may a FDO disclose CMI that was classified by another original classification authority? Answer: Yes, provided the original classification authority also has regulatory authority or a DDL and has authorized the specific disclosure in writing. See paragraph 28 for HQDA agency heads and the specific DDLs for ACOM commanders, major subordinate command commanders, as applicable.

Question: Can a PEO PM have delegated disclosure authority under a DDL? Answer: Yes, provided the PEO PM has original classification authority for the information resident in their program. Question: Which AR governs access to computers by a foreign government representative? Answer: AR 252 Question: Why is recording the first-time disclosures of CMI in the SPAN important? Answer: Recording first-time disclosures, SPAN provides a tracking mechanism of the foreign disclosure of all Army classified information (see para 38).

Question: Should DDLs be disseminated outside of FDO channels? Answer: Yes. DDLs should be disseminated to all affected parties (see para D4a). Question: How do you handle visits of foreign nationals who are not representing their respective parent government to Army commands or agencies?

Answer: See paragraph 15g. Fundamentally, all private citizens, U.S. or foreign national, should be viewed identically as far as visits are concerned. Neither category of individuals has a security clearance and need-to-know; therefore, the disclosure of CMI is not an issue. Private foreign citizens, who are working under a DA contract will have access to unclassified information only. CUI may be made available to private citizens working under a DA contract provided the originator or proponent for the CUI has granted approval and the information is required for the successful completion of the contract.

Question: May DA funds or other resources be used in support of visits by foreign representatives? Answer: Expenditure of DA funds and/or resources in support of foreign representative visits may be authorized under certain circumstances. Care should be taken to ensure that the nature of the visit is such that the specific expenditure of DA funds or other resources that is contemplated is permitted under applicable U.S. law and DOD and Army regulations (see paras I7 and I10). Unauthorized expenditure of U.S. government funds may result in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, a federal criminal statute.

Question: Is an RVA required for a foreign national who requires access to an Army installation to perform a service under an Army contract?

Answer: No. Visits by foreign nationals who are not representing their governments in an official capacity to Army installations/activities do not require an RVA. However, foreign nationals must meet Army installation access control requirements as delineated in AR 19013
(see para 15g).

Question: Can U.S. contractors serve as FDOs?

Answer: No. Foreign disclosure is an inherently governmental function and must be performed by a DA member (see para 211). Question: What does the command do if a FLO does not sign the certification statement form? Answer: The contact officer will sign their portion of the certification statement, annotate on the form that the FLO refused to sign the statement, provide a copy of the statement to the FLO, and notify the DCS, G2 (see para J2c(3)).

Question: Can a FLO be simultaneously certified to more than one organization? Answer: No. Certification of a FLO to more than one command or agency is not authorized (see para J2c(1)). Question: When is an RVA required for a FLO to visit Army or DOD commands or agencies? Answer: When the visit is to a destination outside the FLO's hosting command (see para J6a(1)). Question: In exchange programs, a participant may require access to Army computer systems. Which AR controls the granting of this access to Army computer systems for the participant who is working for the Army?

Answer: AR 252. Question: Can FLOs conduct informal coordination for visits prior to an RVA being submitted by their embassy? Answer: Yes, but with limitations (see para I3b).

## Table F1 Frequently Asked QuestionsContinued

Question: Are the dependents of extended visitors authorized dependent ID cards and access to U.S. Government recreational and medical facilities? If so, how is this accomplished?

Answer: Dependents of extended visitors are only allowed ID cards and access to such facilities only if and to the extent authorized by the specific FLO MOU and/or MOA for the extended visitor's country of origin. Dependents of extended visitors are identified by the country's military attache in the embassy remarks section of the RVA. Additionally, dependents of extended visitors are subject to Army installation access control requirements as delineated in AR 19013 (see para I11c).

Question: Can foreign military personnel visiting Army organizations, activities, and installations on official business wear appropriate civilian attire as opposed to their country's prescribed military uniform?

Answer: Yes, but only when relieved of the responsibility to wear their respective country's uniform by an appropriate DA authority (see para I8).

Question: Can an ENDP be used to establish a PEP position?

Answer: No. Current DOD policy does not allow ENDPs to be used to establish any extended visitor positions (see para 25d).

Question: When is it appropriate to nonsponsor a visit?

Answer: "The recommendation and position to "nonsponsor a visit" is appropriate when the visit is to a commercial or contactor facility and the Army has no interest in the visit. It is not appropriate to nonsponsor a visit to an Army facility, activity, or installation since at a minimum, the Army always has an interest in access and security issues to Army facilities (see para I12c(3)(c)4).

Question: Who may approve foreign representative attendance at unclassified meetings open to the general public?

Answer: Commanders or agency heads may exercise their delegated visit authority to approve foreign representative visits of this type
(see para G5a(1)).

## Appendix G Meetings, Conferences, And Symposia Section I Introduction

G1. Approval policies This regulation addresses the foreign disclosure aspects of meetings, conferences, and symposia (hereafter "meetings") that involve the attendance or participation of foreign representatives. With the exception of in-house meetings, attendance or participation by foreign representatives at meetingsboth classified and unclassifiedis a possibility that must be considered and planned for. This appendix is intended to supplement overall policies and to prescribe uniform procedures to accommodate and facilitate foreign attendance or participation in meetings when deemed in the best interests of the Army.

G2. Types of meetings For the purposes of this appendix, meetings are divided into two distinct types: those that are acquisition-related and those that are not acquisition-related.

## Section Ii Acquisition-Related Meetings

G3. Multinational force compatibility MFC considerations and bilateral agreements promoting industrial cooperation have resulted in DA's adoption of policies (see AR 341) that effectively increase foreign attendance and participation at meetings. These policies require that
a. Qualified government and industry representatives from U.S. allies and other friendly nations with which DOD
has entered into reciprocal procurement agreements are to be afforded opportunities to compete on a fair and equitable basis with U.S. industry for DOD acquisition contractssubject to U.S. laws and regulations.

b. Representatives are afforded suitable access to technical information necessary for such competition. Therefore, attendance by foreign representatives must be planned for at any meeting at which U.S. industry is represented. The most prevalent acquisition-related meetings are
(1) Scientific and technical meetings convened under AR 7026. (2) Advance planning briefings for industry convened under AR 701. (3) Meetings convened in cooperation with private, industrial-related associations (for example, Association of the Army, American Defense Preparedness Association, National Security Industrial Association, Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association).

G4. Planning Acquisition-related meetings are distinct from other types of meetings in several ways that tend to complicate planning and require special procedures. The requirement to consider foreign industrial participation in Army contracts will necessitate early consideration of foreign disclosure issues. The procuring contracting officer is responsible for obtaining an Army position on foreign participation. This position must address which foreign nations may be eligible to receive the information to be disclosed during the performance of the contract. Successful foreign participation in cooperative developmental contracts, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor, may require the disclosure of CMI. Therefore, Army PMs or item managers must involve their FDO in this process prior to advertising in the Federal Business Opportunities publication or any other announcement media and must consider such issues as
a. The advisability of including foreign contractors in the project. b. The time and costs that must be factored into a contract to allow for the approval process for munitions licensing.

Documentary transfer of classified deliverables (for example, interim reports and final reports) from U.S. contractor team members to foreign participants can be a lengthy process. If it is not considered prior to the award of a contract, DOD review requirements may consume an inordinate amount of time when work under the contract begins.

c. The maximum authorized delegated disclosure level for classified material in each NDP1 category that may be involved. It is essential to remember that RFIs and RFPs are merely tools in the contract process. A contract potentially involving classified information may only require an unclassified RFI or RFP. Nonetheless, only foreign nations for which disclosure authority has been delegated to the Army under NDP1 for the categories of CMI involved may be considered for participation in the contract. Participation consistent with applicable U.S. laws, regulations, and security requirements in Army procurement initiatives by contractors from countries with which the DOD has agreements that encourage reciprocal participation in defense procurement may include access to U.S. CMI consistent with this regulation as follows:
(1) *Access to technical data*. Qualified government and industry representatives from those countries will be given appropriate access to the technical data, consistent with this regulation and the ITAR, necessary to bid on Army contracts.

(2) *Disclosure decisions*. Disclosure decisions involving those countries will be made prior to the announcement of the procurement, and the announcement will describe any restrictions on foreign participation.

(3) *Participation as subcontractor*. When it is determined that foreign contractors are not authorized to participate in the classified or other sensitive aspects of a potential contract, consideration should be given to their requests for participation in unclassified or less-sensitive aspects of the contract as a subcontractor.

(4) *Requests for documentation*. Requests by foreign entities for classified documentation must be submitted through government channels.

d. The benefits or liabilities in having foreign industrial participation versus the sensitivities of CMI involved in the project.

G5. Procedures After making a preliminary determination to convene or sponsor an acquisition-related meeting that may involve attendance or participation by foreign representatives, an Army command or agency is to adhere to the following procedures, based on the sensitivity of the information to be disclosed:
a. Unclassified meeting open to the public.

(1) Commanders or agency heads may exercise their delegated visit authority to approve foreign representative visits to this type of meeting without the requirement for an RVA (see app I).

(2) The U.S. sponsor will notify all participants that presentations must be approved for release to the public.

Criteria for approval and procedures for obtaining such approval are contained in AR 7031 and AR 3601. DOD 5220.22M governs presentations by contractor personnel when the information in question is derived from or acquired as a result of a DOD contract. The ITAR or EAR, as applicable, governs presentations by non-USG personnel when the information in question is not derived from a DOD contract.

b. Unclassified meeting closed to the public.

(1) Attendance of foreign representatives must be requested in the manner prescribed in appendix I.

Note. According to AR 7031 and subject to ITAR limitations, Canadian citizens may be certified by the Joint Certification Office.

(2) Coordination will be effected with all DA commands or agencies that may have a substantive interest in the subject matter of the meeting to establish foreign government or international organization attendance criteria prior to publicizing the meeting. In this regard, it is important to consider the false impression principle (see para 22).

c. Classified meetings. (1) Attendance of foreign representatives must be requested in the manner prescribed in appendix I.

(2) Approval for the disclosure of CMI to representatives of foreign governments and international organizations will be according to this regulation.

## Section Iii Nonacquisition-Related Meetings

G6. Unclassified meetings a. The conduct of nonacquisition-related meetings involving only unclassified information does not require prior approval of DCS, G2; however, attendance by foreign representatives must be requested in the manner prescribed in appendix I.

b. Coordination will be effected with all DA commands or agencies that may have a substantive interest in the subject matter of the meeting to establish attendance criteria for foreign representatives prior to publicizing the meeting. In this regard, it is important to consider the prohibition on false impressions in paragraph 22.

G7. Classified meetings a. Attendance of foreign representatives must be requested in the manner prescribed in appendix I. b. Approval for the disclosure of CMI to representatives of foreign governments or international organizations will be according to this regulation.

## Appendix H Policy And Procedures For Disclosure Of Classified Military Information In Support Of International Activities Section I Introduction

H1. Concept a. Overall policies and procedures governing DA participation in international activities stemming from international agreements are contained in various Army regulations, principally in the 12, 34, and 70 series.

b. All proposed international activities must be evaluated for the potential disclosure of CMI. This includes an evaluation of CMI that may be discerned through foreign use and/or testing of Army systems.

H2. Policies and procedures on foreign involvement The policies and procedures regarding foreign involvement in the materiel acquisition process are more complicated and warrant additional guidance (see apps B through E and app G).

## Section Ii Security Assistance And/Or Direct Commercial Sale-Related Disclosures Of Classified Military Information

H3. Policy a. This section will cover the disclosure of CMI in cases involving the transfer of defense articles or services
(including training). This transfer is conducted either on a government-to-government basis or on a licensed, DCS basis. Transfer means the sale, lease or loan, grant, coproduction, or reciprocal use. The transfer must be accomplished per agreements created under the provisions of AR 121 or the ITAR.

b. When a prospective transfer involves the proposed disclosure of CMI, agreements leading to the transfer must be coordinated and approved as prescribed in chapter 2. Such agreements primarily involve the disclosure of information in categories 2, 4, and 8 (see para 24). In all cases where there is no system DDL, potential security assistance letters of offer and acceptance (LOAs) involving the disclosure of CMI in conjunction with or as a result of the first-time sale of a major end item (including components, armaments, ordnance, and so on) will be coordinated with ASA (ALT); DCS, G3/5/7; and DCS, G2 prior to final approval of the LOA.

c. Technical information proposed for transfer to a foreign government or international organization must be carefully reviewed to exclude any design, manufacturing, production, or system integration technology that has not been specifically approved for foreign disclosure and subsequent transfer under the system DDL.

d. In a security assistance context, the coordination process is also referred to as determining willingness to sell. It may be the result of a foreign government's request for price and availability (P&A) data submitted through channels as prescribed in AR 121. DA or DOD also may initiate this process unilaterally in anticipation of potential sales or transfers as a result of a foreign government's inquiry or a license application through the Department of State
(required for direct commercial sales).

H4. Disclosure of classified military information in security assistance initiatives a. Disclosures pending decision of United States willingness to sell. Pending HQDA determination of its willingness to sell or otherwise transfer materiel to a specific foreign government or international organization, no CMI (irrespective of category) related to the materiel may be approved for disclosure.

b. Disclosures after a decision not to sell. If HQDA decides against the sale or transfer of materiel, disclosure of information to the particular foreign government or international organization will be limited to information that is releasable to the public. For example, public domain information on a specific weapons system may be disclosed in the context of a domestic Army capability briefing.

c. Disclosures after a decision to sell. If HQDA decides to sell or transfer classified materiel, disclosure will be according to chapter 2. General guidance is as follows:
(1) Provided all NDP1 conditions have been satisfied and prior to formal acceptance of the LOA by the foreign recipient, disclosure is usually limited to the confidential level. This information may include P&A data, information on general system characteristics and capabilities, and system-related training information necessary to successful operation and maintenance. Specific information on system countermeasures susceptibilities or vulnerabilities or on countermeasures capabilities may not be considered for disclosure until the sale is consummated, and then only on a case-by-case basis. This information is deemed sufficient for a foreign government to make an informed judgment regarding potential acquisition or a purchase decision.

(2) After a foreign recipient has formally accepted an LOA, disclosures may be approved to the limits of the Army's delegated disclosure authority for the country according to NDP1 (to include all restrictions) and system DDL. The CMI disclosure must be directly related to the designated item approved for sale.

d. Special considerations. Prior to making a commitment to sell, proposed disclosures of other categories of CMI
relating to the sale or transfer of U.S.-produced end items through security assistance channels will be governed as follows:
(1) Special consideration must be given to possible intelligence, security, and special technology information implications. For example, separate authorization, as identified in NDP1, must be obtained for the disclosure of COMSEC, cryptographic information, intelligence threat data, low observable and noncooperative target recognition, and so on. Authorization to disclose these types of information must be obtained prior to rendering a final decision on the transfer of the end item to a foreign government or international organization.

(2) Disclosure of classified production information (NDP1 Category 4) is prohibited without the approval of the DCS, G2 or their designee and the NDPC.

(3) Any proposed disclosure program must be examined in its entirety in order to determine if any aspects of the proposed program might result in the disclosure of classified information. In the case of proposed security assistance programs, the review must include not only hardware, software, documents (necessary for operation, maintenance, employment, and training), but classified vulnerability data that may be discerned through the operation and testing of the end item.

H5. Disclosure of classified military information on a licensed commercial basis a. Mutual security assistance interests of the U.S. and foreign governments at times may be served better by the transfer of defense articles or services on a direct commercial sales basis. All commercial initiatives involving defense articles and services are subject to munitions licensing prescribed by the Department of State ITAR, which implements the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 USC 2778 through 2780). ASA (ALT) is the HQDA proponent responsible for the review of licenses for the export of defense articles and services, and the Office of the Deputy Secretary of the Army for Defense Exports and Cooperation (ODASA (DE&C)) is the lead agent for the execution of the Army's munitions licensing review program. Overall DA policies and procedures governing the processing of munitions license applications are contained in AR 121.

(1) In coordination with ASA (ALT); DCS, G2; or their designee will review selected munitions license applications referred to the Army by the Department of State and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to ensure Army compliance with foreign disclosure policies.

(2) DA command or agency FDOs will review all munitions license applications forwarded to their respective commands or agencies to ensure foreign disclosure policy compliance. The FDO will also consider the disclosure criteria cited in para 26. In this regardthe commercial sale of a major, classified Army weapon systemthe PM for that weapon system, with assistance from the supporting FDO, will be responsible for overseeing the DCS cases involving their system and ensuring U.S. contractor compliance with current Army and USG export and disclosure policy provisions. The PM will report any conflict with established export policies to ASA (ALT); DCS, G3/5/7; DCS, G2; and USASAC.

b. Data regarding the status of the DA and DOD positions and substantive details regarding munitions license applications reviewed by DA and DOD are reflected in the SPAN.

H6. Foreign test and evaluation of materiel Administrative and operational requirements and restrictions governing the foreign test and evaluation of U.S. materiel are prescribed as follows:
a. Foreign test and evaluation of DA classified equipment may be authorized for disclosure when the tests (1) Are on an item approved for foreign disclosure by the appropriate disclosure authority. (2) Can be performed at a DA installation or under other strict DA control that guarantees appropriate safeguards for classified information and classified critical technology.

b. Exceptions to paragraph H6a(2), such as the transfer of single classified military items for test and evaluation under foreign security control, may be authorized only when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) There is no transfer of technology that the U.S. would not license for manufacture in the foreign country. (2) There is no transfer of equipment that would not be approved for foreign sale or export to the foreign country, if requested.

(3) The transfer will result in a clearly defined advantage to the DA and the USG. Examples are outlined below: (a) Avoidance of significant costs and or acceleration of developmental programs with U.S. allies.

(b) Advancement of standardization objectives with U.S. allies. (c) Exchange of technical and scientific information of common interest on a mutually beneficial basis.

c. Proposals to authorize foreign test and evaluation in this manner will be submitted to ASA (ALT), which will (1) Coordinate with counterpart elements of the Air Force and Navy, depending on their interest in items or technologies associated with the information proposed for transfer.

(2) Coordinate with the ASA (ALT); DCS, G2; and other HQDA staff agencies having an interest in the issue. (3) On coordination and concurrence of all concerned, staff the issue with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology.

(4) Provide to DCS, G2 a copy of the proposal. DCS, G2 will notify the NDPC Secretariat, as necessary. d. The Secretary of the Army, in coordination with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, approves the exception as satisfying the criteria in paragraphs H6b(1) through H6b(3).

e. The test is performed pursuant to a test and evaluation agreement, lease arrangement, or sales contract containing requisite security controls.

f. Documentary CMI will be disclosed under this program only after both parties have approved the test program.

H7. Disclosure of classified military information in security assistance-related training Training of foreign representatives at DA activities or at U.S. contractor facilities under DA sponsorship will be conducted according to AR 121 and AR 1215.

a. DA CMI contained in training courses or otherwise to be presented to foreign trainees is to be approved for disclosure pursuant to this regulation. To preclude potential false impressions, disclosure determinations must be made for specific countries before the course is placed on the Military Articles and Services List or otherwise indicated as available for foreign attendance.

b. A foreign trainee may receive training on U.S. equipment that is classified or involves classified information, provided the equipment is in the inventory of the trainee's government or an international agreement and/or purchase agreement has been concluded with the USG to acquire the equipment and training. CMI disclosed during training will be limited to the specific version of the equipment purchased or committed to purchase and subject to any other condition related to that particular version of the equipment. The PM will be responsible for notifying TRADOC of the specific configuration of a weapon system purchased by a foreign government or international organization and for providing disclosure guidelines, particularly conditions and limitations related to that specific configuration and the foreign recipient. TRADOC has primary responsibility for ensuring that the course material for the training of foreign trainees complies with all disclosure conditions.

c. The inclusion of foreign trainees from more than one foreign government should be avoided when the CMI to be disclosed varies due to the different versions of the same equipment purchased by the individual foreign governments. If this situation cannot be avoided, the specific CMI will be equally suitable for disclosure to all foreign participants, unless authority is obtained to disclose CMI beyond that which has already been authorized disclosure to a particular foreign government or group of foreign governments.

d. DA agencies and commands conducting or supervising training may exercise discretionary authority to provide course-related classified documentary material (such as DA and school publications or student notes) to foreign trainees for their retention in accordance with paragraph H7a. Such materials must be transmitted to the foreign trainees through U.S. security assistance officials located in the trainees' home country.

e. Foreign trainees may participate in, or conduct training on, third-country equipment only with the written consent of that third-country's government.

## Section Iii Research And Development (Materiel-Related Disclosure Of Classified Military Information)

H8. Concept a. This section pertains to the disclosure of CMI in Category 3. Such disclosure occurs when cooperative R&D
efforts are undertaken with allied and other friendly governments and with international organizations.

b. International cooperative R&D efforts may be categorized by subject matter. For example: (1) NATO or American, British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand Armies (ABCA) MFC (see AR 341). (2) International cooperative R&D programs (see AR 7041). (3) The Technical Cooperation Program (see AR 7041). (4) Specific agreements covering one or more designated subjects (such as international participation in Army proponent programs covered by the Missile Defense Agency).

c. Excluded are agreements associated with the ESEP (see AR 7041) and MPEP (see AR 61410).

H9. Disclosure in support of international cooperative research and development agreements a. Proposed international cooperative R&D efforts involving the disclosure of CMI must be processed in accordance with AR 7041, AR 55051, and this regulation. Once approved, the associated DDL will govern the disclosure of CMI under the agreement. The U.S. proponent will be responsible for ensuring that a reasonable and balanced quidpro-quo is achieved and maintained.

b. Each international cooperative R&D agreement is to contain mutually agreed parameters for information exchange. Additionally, each agreement is to be supported by an SSOI and DDL. The DDL will accompany the SSOI during the staffing process and be approved by the DCS, G2 or their designee. In those cases where the Army participates as an establishment under the authority of another Service's international agreement, a supporting Army DDL must be approved by the appropriate Army disclosure authority.

c. Except for codevelopment agreements, CMI considered for disclosure within the scope of international cooperative R&D agreements is usually limited to Category 3 technology base information, budget activities 1 through 3. The disclosure of system-specific developmental CMI under other types of R&D cooperative agreements (such as DEAs or information exchange annexes and TRDP and Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration MOUs) will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Such disclosures will require the concurrence of the DCS, G2 or their designee, ASA (ALT), and the appropriate PM.

H10. Classified military information disclosures involving materiel changes and improvements Routine CMI disclosures involving materiel changes and improvements (that is, modification work order (MWO), engineering change proposal (ECP), or product improvement program (PIP)) will be according to the system TA/CP and DDL. Changes or improvements that, if incorporated, would significantly improve performance, decrease vulnerability to countermeasures, or otherwise constitute new classified information must be approved by the DCS, G2 or their designee for disclosure prior to any commitment to international participation. For example, improvements that would require a new designation for an end item include the comparison of the AH64A Apache and the AH64D Apache (Longbow) helicopters. Proposals are to be referred to HQDA in the same manner prescribed in chapter 2. A
separate ENDP approval may be necessary to permit disclosure of CMI related to MWO, ECP, or PIP to any foreign government for which the initial item or system acquisition required an ENDP request.

H11. Classified military information disclosure to foreign exchange and cooperative program personnel participating in Department of the Army research and development activities Exchange and CPP participating in DA R&D activities will only be assigned to DA pursuant to an appropriate international agreement. Foreign personnel will not be assigned to duties that will require access to DA CMI beyond that which is authorized for disclosure to their parent government.

## H12. Foreign Participation In Classified Acquisition Contracts For Da Policy On Foreign Participation In Classified Acquisition Contracts, See Appendix G, Section Ii. Department Of The Army International Visits Program Section I General

I1. Concept a. The DA International Visits Program has been established to ensure that CMI and CUI to be disclosed to foreign visitors has been properly authorized for disclosure to their governments and that the requesting foreign government provides security assurances for such visitors. Additionally, the DA International Visits Program serves to facilitate administrative requirements for the visit. The DA International Visits Program is managed through the FVS on the SIPRNET.

b. All official foreign government, NATO, and other international organization representatives who request access to a U.S. Army facility or activity for official purposes will be processed in the FVS except as specified in paragraph 15g.

I2. Control of visitors Visits by foreign representatives to DA activities and DA contractor facilities will be controlled to ensure that the visitors receive access to only that CMI and CUI authorized for disclosure to their respective governments by a disclosure official designated according to this regulation. CMI and CUI will not be disclosed to a foreign representative unless the appropriate disclosure authority has received security assurances from that person's government. In all cases, AR 19013 and local security policies and procedures (such as badges and escorts) will apply for the control of foreign representative visitors in restricted access areas.

I3. Informal coordination a. The fact that a proposed visit begins by informal coordination does not eliminate the need for an official RVA.

This requirement must be clearly understood by all affected parties to avoid mutual confusion and embarrassment. Only an accredited foreign military attache or designated foreign attache staff personnel may formally request visits by their country's officials. These proposals and requests become official only upon the submission of an RVA to DCS, G2 by appropriate foreign attache personnel. While informal contacts with foreign representatives often may lead to the submission of an RVA, DA officials must remember that commitments made during these informal contacts are not binding for DCS, G2.

b. FLOs who are interested in informally coordinating a proposed visit must consult with their contact officer for advice on how to proceed.

(1) If the proposed visit involves foreign visitors, other than the FLO, to a Army command with a certified FLO
from the same foreign country, the FLO may conduct the informal coordination necessary for the visit through foreign disclosure channels. At the conclusion of informal coordination, submission of a formal RVA by the foreign military attache or designated foreign attache staff personnel is required.

(2) All informal coordination of a visit outside the FLO's terms of certification must be conducted by the foreign military attache or designated foreign attache staff personnel.

## I4. Classified Military Information And Controlled Unclassified Information Documentary Transfers For Detailed Information On Documentary Requests For U.S. Cmi And Cui, See Paragraph 35.

I5. Foreign Visits System requirements a. All Army FDOs, alternate FDOs, FDRs, and personnel who process RVAs are required to have a SPAN account and access to the SIPRNET.

b. An accredited military attache or designee using the FVS will submit foreign government RVAs. Requests for visits by governments that do not utilize the FVS will be submitted by the accredited military attache, in writing, directly to DCS, G2, which will enter the request in the FVS and process it through the FVS.

I6. Visit requests from countries and international organizations without a military attache a. If a foreign government does not have a military attache diplomatically accredited to the U.S., an embassy official of that government or the senior U.S. military representative located in the prospective visitors' parent country may prepare and submit the RVA to DCS, G2 for consideration. The RVA must conform to the policies and procedures for submission of RVAs in this regulation and DODD 5230.20.

b. RVAs from international organizations may be submitted by the appropriate international organization security office via letter, email, fax, or in person to the DCS, G2 for consideration. The RVA must conform to the policies and procedures for submission of RVAs in this regulation and DODD 5230.20.

I7. Invitations While foreign governments initiate the majority of foreign representative visits, DA officials also may initiate a foreign representative visit by extending a formal invitation.

a. Formal invitation. In instances when it is desirable to expend representational funds to invite foreign government representatives (for example, speakers and participants in research projects) to visit military facilities under Army sponsorship, the DA host will do so according to Army regulations governing such funding. All such visitors will travel on ITOs or honorariums published by competent authority. RVAs must still be submitted through the foreign government's embassy according to the self-invited visit procedures identified in section II of this appendix. Before issuing the formal invitation, DA officials will inform the appropriate FDO of the proposed issuance of the invitation and the extent of any anticipated disclosure of CMI or CUI to ensure compliance with this regulation. The requirement to submit an RVA for personnel traveling on ITOs does not apply to foreign personnel who are traveling for training purposes under a security assistance program when the visit data is being entered into the Cornerstone database by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (see para 15g).

b. Informal invitation. DA agencies and commands extending informal invitations to foreign representatives, without expenditure of U.S. funds, must ensure that the invitation states the invitees or their respective governments must defray all costs associated with the visit and an RVA must be submitted through the foreign government's embassy according to the self-invited visit procedures identified in section II of this appendix. Before issuing the informal invitation, DA officials will inform the appropriate FDO of the proposed issuance of the invitation and the extent of any anticipated disclosure of CMI or CUI to ensure compliance with this regulation.

I8. Standards of appearance All foreign military visitors (to include accredited military attaches, assistant military attaches, exchange personnel, and liaison officers) are expected to wear their respective country's uniform unless relieved of this responsibility by an appropriate DA authority (for example, hosting organization commander, installation commander). When this policy exemption is exercised, it will present a benefit to the U.S. Government and potential risks will be mitigated by sound local security practices and procedures. If required by local policy, a clearly identifiable badge should be provided to the foreign representative to wear, identifying that person as a foreign representative.

I9. Out-of-channel visit requests RVAs sent directly to DA commands or agencies by other USG departments or agencies, nonmilitary international organizations in which the USG maintains membership (such as the United Nations), or foreign governments will be immediately referred to DCS, G2 for action. See paragraph 15g for visits that are not governed by this regulation.

I10. Funding and other support rendered to foreign representatives No DA funds or other resources may be used to support the activities of foreign representatives while visiting or certified to DA, except when authorized by and consistent with applicable U.S. law and DOD and Army guidance.

## Section Ii Self-Invited Visit Procedures

I11. Requests for self-invited visit authorizations a. One-time visit authorizations. One-time visit authorizations will be used to permit contact by foreign representatives with a DA element or a DA contractor facility for a single, short-term occasion (fewer than 30 days) and for a specified purpose. Authorizations expire on the end of visit date, unless extended by an amendment. Within 72 hours of the approval of the visit request, visitors or foreign military attache personnel will contact the facility to be visited to arrange visit details.

b. Recurring visit authorizations. Recurring visit authorizations permit separate, one-time visits of fewer than 30
consecutive days over a specified period of time (normally one year) in connection with a government-approved license, contract, agreement, or other program. Authorizations will be valid for the duration of the program, subject to annual review, revalidation, and the specific requirements of the Army.

Note. By definition, any single visit of 30 consecutive days or more within the approved period of a recurring visit authorization constitutes an extended visit (see para I11c) and therefore will require the submission of a separate request for extended visit authorization for this particular visit.

c. Extended visit authorizations. EVAs will be used to permit a single visit for an extended period of time, normally
30 consecutive days or more. The authorization will be valid for the duration of the program, assignment, or certification, subject to annual review and revalidation. EVAs will be used in the following situations:
(1) Certification of a FLO, foreign exchange personnel (ESEP and PEP), or CPP to a DA activity. (2) Assignment of a foreign contractor's employee if the foreign contractor is under DA contract and performance on the contract requires assignment of the employee to the Army or Army element at a contractor facility. This individual will be considered a FLO.

(3) If the extended visitor will be accompanied by dependents, the foreign military attache will use the Embassy Remarks section of the Extended Visit Request to provide the following dependent identifying information:
(a) The full name of each accompanying dependent;
(b) The passport number of each accompanying dependent; (c) The birth date of each accompanying dependent;
(d) The gender of each accompanying dependent;
(e) The country of citizenship of each accompanying dependent; and,
(f) The relationship of each accompanying dependent to the sponsor. (4) If no dependents are accompanying the extended visitor, a statement to that effect will be entered into the Embassy Remarks section.

d. Submission timelines of self-invited requests for visit authorization. In all of the above self-invited visits, approval by DCS, G2 or designee is required prior to any formal visit to a DA activity or facility.

(1) An accredited military attache or designee should submit RVAs for one-time and recurring visits at least 30
calendar days prior to the requested visit start date. A one-time or recurring visit that is submitted with less than 14 calendar days prior to the requested start date of the visit will be automatically denied by ODCS, G2 except as outlined in the below circumstances:
(a) Visits to HQDA staff elements will be processed regardless of the number of days the requests are received in advance.

(b) When a DA organization anticipates a mission essential and time sensitive visit request will likely be submitted less than 14 calendar days in advance, it will prepare and submit a request for a waiver to the ODCS, G2. The waiver will include a justification statement explaining why the visit is mission essential and time sensitive and must be endorsed by a senior principal of the hosting activity (for example, commander, chief of staff, or their equivalents in the rank or grade of colonel/O6, general schedule (GS)15, or higher). All waivers will be sent through command FDO channels to the ODCS, G2 foreign disclosure mailbox at usarmy.pentagon.hqda-dcs-g-2.mbx.army-foreigndisclosure@mail.mil.

(c) OSD and DA-directed visits in which the sponsoring/hosting DA organization has provided ODCS, G2 with a copy of the OSD or DA requirement. In such matters, OSD or DA requirement will be used in lieu of a waiver.

(2) In those circumstances in which the submitted visit is administratively denied by the ODCS, G2 for arriving less than 14 calendar days prior to the requested start date, ODCS, G2 will notify the hosting unit and its chain-ofcommand of the denial in FVS (Guilotine Box). If the denial is within 48 hours of the visit's start date, ODCS, G2 will telephonically, or via email, notify the FDO at the hosting unit and a FDO in the hosting unit's chain-of-command. FDOs in the chain-of-command who receive such a notification will ensure the FDO at the hosting unit is made aware that the scheduled visit has not been approved by the ODCS, G2 and that the proposed visit may not take place.

(3) Certified foreign representative EVAs will be submitted in accordance with the timelines specified in appendices J, L, M, and N.

I12. Assignment, evaluation, and processing of requests for visit authorization a. Initial request for visit authorization review. Upon receipt in DCS, G2, the RVA will be screened to determine compliance with basic administrative requirements and will be either accepted for further processing or rejected.

(1) If rejected, the RVA is returned with annotations reflecting the rationale for the rejection. (2) If accepted, the RVA is assigned for action to the appropriate Army addressees on the following basis:
(a) HQDA, DCS, G2 will, with few exceptions, only assign RVAs for action to HQDA-level organizations, ACOMs, ASCCs, DRUs, and PEOs exercising jurisdiction over the information, organization, or activity to be visited. Subsequent staffing of visits to subordinate units, activities, and/or organizations or related contractor facilities having an interest in the subject matter of the visit is the responsibility of the requisite ACOM, ASCC, DRU, or PEO.

(b) An RVA to a defense contractor is assigned for action to the appropriate Army acquisition authority and for information to addressees having an interest in the subject matter proposed for discussion.

(c) Staffing of RVAs by DCS, G2 is without prejudice; that is, staffing indicates only that DA has administratively accepted the RVA for processing and is not to be construed as either HQDA's solicitation of concurrence or as predisposition towards approval.

b. Request for visit authorization evaluation (administrative factors). In evaluating an RVA, the command or agency will apply the administrative factors listed below. If the response to any of the first three factors is negative, the command or agency may recommend that the RVA be returned to the requestor without action.

(1) Is the expressed purpose of the proposed visit understandable and sufficiently detailed to permit due consideration from a substantive perspective?

(2) Is the proposed visit date sufficiently in the future to permit necessary preparation for the visit and required coordination for disclosure determinations? Is the proposed visit date acceptable to the prospective host?

(3) Is sufficient justification for the visit and its associated discussions included in the RVA to permit disclosure determinations?

(4) Is sufficient rationale presented in the RVAor known to the action addressee or prospective hostto justify intermittent, repetitive visits, if so requested?

c. Request for visit authorization evaluation (substantive factors). In evaluating an RVA, the following substantive factors must be considered:
(1) If the RVA is administratively acceptable, the RVA action addressee or prospective host must determine whetherfrom its perspectivethe best interests of the Army would be served in approving the visit. Evaluators should bear in mind that visits almost always involve the disclosure of official Army information that is for internal Army use only (that is, not in the public domain) and, in some cases, CMI. In either case, disclosures to foreign representatives require that a valid requirement for the information exists and that such disclosures would result in a net benefit to DA and DOD. Thus, resolving information disclosure related issues is essential and prerequisite to a determination of whether the best interests of the Army would be served in approving the visit.

Note. Should the RVA action addressee or prospective host desire political and/or military advice regarding the requested visit, the organization should contact DCS, G3/5/7.

(2) Need-to-know and net benefit should be considered in the context of DA participation in international activities related to the proposed visit. However, it is imperative that such participation not obligate DA to disclose CMI or CUI. Instead, each potential disclosure of CMI or CUI must be considered on its own merits and be based on an affirmative response to the question: "Is the disclosure essential to achieve the stated purpose of the visit and in the best interests of the Army?" If not, the action addressee or prospective host must recommend either denial or hosting the visit at the unclassified level with an annotation in the remarks section that the visit will be at the public domain level.

(3) If the above substantive factors are satisfied, it is then necessary to establish specific, substantive disclosure parameters for discussions during the visit. Evaluators are to be guided in this regard by the following factors:
(a) What substantive category or categories of information are involved? (b) What is the minimum classification level of the information that should be disclosed to accomplish each aspect of the purpose of the visit and have there been prior disclosures of that CMI or CUI?

(c) Given the category of information involved and the minimum classification level necessary for meaningful discussions, how is disclosure determined?

1. CMI or CUI is within the substantive scope of an existing international activity and its associated DDL (program or organization).

2. CMI that is not within the authority of a DDL requires approval by the DCS, G2 or their designee. Such a proposal constitutes either a new disclosure program or a modification to an existing disclosure program and must be accompanied by complete justification or a request for a one-time disclosure exception. If a proposal requires an exception to NDP1, the visit will not be approved at that time. If the command or agency to be visited deems that the Army should sponsor an ENDP request for a future visit or interaction, the command or agency will comply with procedures cited in appendix B.

3. CUI that is not within the authority of a DDL requires approval by the originator of, or the proponent for, that CUI.

4. Army sponsorship of visits by foreign representatives to DA contractor facilities relieves the DA contractor from the licensing requirements of the ITAR and EAR. In these cases, the Army sponsoring command or agency assumes full responsibility for the visit, to include the provision of disclosure guidance to the DA contractor regarding the disclosure of Army information. These visits will involve the disclosure of Army information in support of actual or planned international programs such as an FMS case and cooperative R&D arrangement. DA-sponsored visits will not be used to circumvent the licensing requirements of the ITAR.

5. Nonsponsorship of a visit is appropriate when the visit is to a commercial or contactor facility and the Army has no interest in the visit. It is not appropriate to nonsponsor a visit to an Army facility, activity, or installation due solely to supposed lack of Army interest since, at a minimum, the Army would always have an interest in any associated access and security issues.

d. Army command recommendation. The ACOM, ASCC, or DRU will recommend to the DCS, G2 within the DA
assigned suspense date
(1) Visits to DA command or agency. (a) Approval of the visit request. The FDO will provide justification for the visit, disclosure guidance, supporting DDL number, the international or functional agreement (if applicable), administrative input for the military attache (that is, the name, email, and commercial duty telephone number of the visit POC), advance coordination instructions for recurring RVAs, and applicable local security policy and procedures the visitor should know prior to their arrival. (For example, "The Fires Center of Excellence has been declared a controlled area. All personnel are subject to searches and inspections at entry points and randomly at exit points. The unauthorized removal of any property owned by, or under the care or custody of, the U.S. Government is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the commander. Any such material found in the possession of unauthorized persons will be confiscated and will subject the individual to Federal penalties. Photographing, making notes, drawings, or other graphical representations of this area or its activities are prohibited unless specifically authorized by the commander. All personnel are required to display security badges facing out, above the waist and on their outermost garment, and stay with their escort at all times.

Blackberries, cellular telephones, and other electronic devices are not permitted in Fires Center of Excellence buildings. Visitors are requested to leave all such electronic devices in their hotel room or in their vehicle.")
Note. A visit POC is a DA member who oversees one-time and recurring visits by foreign government representatives to DA components and subordinate organizations. Visit POC responsibilities are outlined in appendix O.

(b) Denial of the visit request if it is determined the subject matter proposed for discussion cannot be authorized for disclosure (include basis of rationale, that is, beyond scope of established international agreement, conflicts with NDP1, and so on).

(2) Visits to DA contractor facility. (a) Approval of the visit request (this approval constitutes an Army-sponsored visit). The FDO will provide justification for the visit, disclosure guidance, supporting DDL number, the international or functional agreement (if applicable), administrative input for the military attache (that is, the name, email, and commercial duty telephone number of the visit POC), advance coordination instructions for recurring RVAs, and applicable local security policy and procedures, where appropriate.

(b) Not to sponsor the visit if it is not in support of an actual or planned USG program. e. Army decision. Upon receipt of the recommendation of approval, denial, or nonsponsorship, the DCS, G2 or their designee, on behalf of HQDA, will officially respond to the RVA.

(1) Approval of request for visit authorization. If the RVA is approved, notify the requester and affected Army elements of the decision.

(a) Issue any instructions, limitations, and so on, as well as the name and commercial duty telephone number of the Army visit POC.

(b) Notify requesting military attache that they or the prospective visitor must initiate contact and resolve administrative details with the host. Arrangements must be confirmed 72 hours after RVA approval. An earlier deadline may be specified by the prospective host in its response to DCS, G2.

(2) Denial or nonsponsorship of request for visit authorization. If the RVA is denied or nonsponsored, notify the requester, affected Army elements and the contractor facility of the decision. A copy of the visit request will accompany the nonsponsorship notice. A nonsponsorship notice does not preclude the visit, provided the contractor has, or obtains, an export license for the export-controlled information involved. It is the responsibility of the contractor to consult applicable export regulations to determine licensing requirements regarding the disclosure of exportcontrolled information during such visits by foreign representatives and nationals.

I13. Amendments a. Amendment requirements are outlined in the Military Attache Guide - administrative guidance issued by the ODCS, G2 to each embassy that has a military attache accredited to the U.S. Army. All amendments to approved RVAs must be accepted by the hosting command or agency prior to becoming effective. Hosting commands or agencies will notify the ODCS, G2 of any violation of this provision. Amendments may only accomplish the following:
(1) Add or delete visitors. (2) Change originally requested date(s). (3) Cancel a previously submitted RVA whether pending or approved. b. For instances other than a cancelation, the foreign attache must contact the designated visit POC of the hosting activity to seek approval for the proposed change prior to submitting the amendment in FVS. If the visit POC concurs with the proposed modifications to the approved RVA, the attache may submit the amendment.

I14. Visits conducted without Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G2 approval a. Unannounced or unscheduled visits to DA facilities where foreign representatives arrive at an Army activity or facility without official approval will not be permitted to proceed. In those instances, the ACOM or agency will immediately report the incident to the ODCS, G2, which will provide instructions to the ACOM or agency and notify the parent government's military attache of the violation.

b. Visits conducted without ODCS, G2 approval may result in an unauthorized disclosure of CMI or CUI. Hosting Army activities will ensure that foreign visitors who have not obtained a visit approval from the ODCS, G2 are not provided any CMI or CUI. An unauthorized disclosure involving CMI is a security violation requiring notification to the owning proponent and may be a recordable incident and reportable to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in accordance with the procedures outlined in DODM 5200.01 V3 and AR 3805. Unauthorized disclosures of CUI may require a formal security inquiry or investigation. Appropriate management action shall be taken to prevent future occurrences. Controlled unclassified information involving export-controlled technical data may also result in civil and criminal sanctions against responsible persons. In the event of an unauthorized visit, corrective actions implemented by the hosting activity to prevent future occurrences of unauthorized visits will be provided to ODCS, G2.

I15. Letter of special accreditation A letter of special accreditation is a document that is issued by the Director of Foreign Liaison, DCS, G2 and accredits a foreign military attache to conduct official direct contact with the Army. The document may include authorization for a foreign military attache to effect direct contact with DA officials of specific DA commands or agencies without prior permission of HQDA (either the Director of Foreign Liaison, DCS, G2 or the Public Affairs Office). The Director of Foreign Liaison, DCS, G2 will provide copies of the Letters of Special Accreditation to the DA commands or agencies cited in the documents.

I16. Foreign visitor misconduct For the purpose of this regulation, misconduct or alleged misconduct on the part of foreign visitors is categorized as either personal misconduct or official misconduct. This distinction is necessary in order to facilitate appropriate reporting actions by DA personnel.

a. Personal misconduct. Events or actions seen as inappropriate and/or improper that are specific to the personal behavior of the visitor.

## Appendix J Foreign Liaison Officers

J1. Concept The Army FLO program was established to facilitate cooperation and mutual understanding between the Army and the armies of allied and friendly nations. A FLO is a foreign government military member or civilian employee who is authorized by their government and is certified by a DA command or agency in connection with programs, projects, or agreements of interest to the governments. FLOs are expected to present the views of their parent governments regarding issues of mutual interests, namely those that may be raised by the DA command or agency to which they are certified. Reciprocity is not required for the establishment of a FLO position. The DCS, G2 is the DA proponent for this program. There are three types of FLOs:
a. Security assistance. A foreign government representative who is assigned to a DA element or contractor facility pursuant to a requirement that is described in an LOA. Certification forms that are written specifically for a security assistance FLO (see sample at fig J1) and DDLs are mandatory for these foreign representatives. See paragraph J2c(3) for additional information.

required for these foreign representatives. Even though CLOs normally travel on ITOs, RVAs are required as outlined in paragraph I7a.

b. Operational. A foreign government representative who is assigned to a DA command or agency pursuant to a documented requirement to coordinate operational matters, such as combined planning or training and education. Certification forms, as described in annex A to the country specific liaison officer agreement between the Army and each foreign army participating in the FLO program, and a DDL are mandatory. For those countries that negotiated a liaison officer agreement without an annex for the certification form, use the generic certification form as shown in figure J2. For the purposes of this regulation, a StanRep (see app K) is an operational FLO. A separate generic paragraph to describe the duties of an operational FLO that is also certified as a StanRep is shown in figure J3, and will be placed in both the certification form and the DDL for these individuals. See paragraph J2c(3) for additional information.

c. National representative. A foreign government representative who is assigned to their national embassy or legation in Washington, DC (for example, an accredited attache or diplomatic member of an embassy who is not formally accredited to the Army), to conduct liaison activities with DOD and DA. Certification forms and DDLs are required for these foreign representatives. When a foreign national representative desires to visit a DA command or agency or a DA contractor facility, they may submit a one-time or recurring visit request to DCS, G2. In these cases, the foreign national representative will be acting as a FLO. All disclosure guidance will be the responsibility of the sponsoring Army command or agency.

J2. Foreign liaison officer international agreement, letter of offer and acceptance, and certification a. International agreement. According to DODD 5230.20, when FLOs are physically assigned to Army installations in an operational capacity, an international agreement containing provisions concerning such matters as responsibilities and obligations of the parties, authorized activities, security requirements, financial arrangements, and claims must be executed. For the Army, this requirement is satisfied by an umbrella-type international agreement that is negotiated and concluded on behalf of DA by DCS, G2.

b. Letter of offer and acceptance. According to DODD 5230.20, when FLOs are physically assigned to Army installations in a security assistance capacity, an LOA is negotiated and concluded on behalf of DA by ASA (ALT) and contains provisions concerning such matters as responsibilities and obligations of the parties, authorized activities, security requirements (see fig J4), financial arrangements, and claims.

c. Certification.

(1) *Purpose*. FLOs are assigned and certified to a DA command or agency to perform specific functions on behalf of their governments under the auspices of an EVA. The purpose of such certification is to facilitate the timely accomplishment of a significant volume of routine business. Terms of certification are derived from and are consistent with the scope of existing international agreements or LOAs. FLOs are certified to an individual DA command or agency specifically to further the objectives of such arrangements. The physical location of a FLO will be the DA command or agency that has implementation responsibility for the international agreement or FMS case under which the FLO is assigned. Certification of a foreign representative as a FLO to more than one command or agency is not authorized.

(2) *Certification at a contractor facility*. DA certification may be used to sponsor the assignment of a FLO to a DA
contractor facility. If DA chooses to certify a FLO to a DA contractor facility, the sponsoring DA command or agency will comply with the following conditions:
(a) The hosting facility agrees to the assignment in advance of any commitment.

(b) The Defense Security Service (DSS) and DA have agreed that the placement of the FLO at the facility will not jeopardize DA and/or DOD CMI at the facility.

(c) DSS and DA have determined that appropriate controls can be put into place to ensure that the FLO's access is limited only to CMI that is authorized for disclosure to that foreign government or international organization.

(d) DSS and DA agree on any security controls necessary to monitor and control access and on responsibility for the cost of such controls.

(e) The agreed controls are incorporated into a DDL and provided to DSS and the DA contractor, as required, for oversight purposes.

(3) *Certification statement form*. Each FLO is requested to sign a certification statement acknowledging the terms of their assignment. The contact officer is responsible for ensuring that the FLO understands and signs the certification statement form. A copy of the signed certification statement must be provided to the FLO with copies to the servicing FDO, the affected ACOM, ASCC, and/or DRU FDO and DCS, G2. If a FLO declines to sign the certification statement, the contact officer will sign their portion of the form, annotate on the form that the FLO refused to sign the statement, provide a copy of the certification statement (signed by the contact officer) to the FLO, and notify the DCS, G2.

J3. Establishment of foreign liaison officer positions and processing of foreign liaison officer nominations a. Establishment of foreign liaison officer positions. DA commands and agencies desiring to have FLOs assigned and certified to them must formally obtain HQDA concurrence. A request for a new FLO position will not be approved unless the respective foreign government has signed an international agreement or LOA. The procedures for establishing a new FLO position are as follows:
(1) Request initiated by a foreign government for establishment of a foreign liaison officer position. (a) Step 1. A foreign government initiates a request for the establishment of a FLO position with the Army. These requests can originate directly from the foreign embassy or through the provisions of an LOA. DCS, G2 or their designee or the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command, if the request is initiated through an LOA, will notify the affected command or agency in writing and request a recommendation on the establishment of the proposed FLO position. Such proposals will be conveyed in writing through command or agency channels.

(b) Step 2. The specified DA command or agency will evaluate the proposal and submit to DCS, G2 a recommendation to approve or disapprove the proposal. FLO position proposals must include the following information:
1. Title of the position. 2. Position location. 3. Description of specific duties of the position. 4. Classified access level required. 5. Draft DDL. DDLs are required for all FLO positions regardless of the classification access level required for the position. All FLO DDLs, regardless of the classification access level, are approved by DCS, G2.

6. A clearly demonstrated mutual need, actual or anticipated, for the position. The rationale must clearly demonstrate the requirement for the FLO's physical presence on virtually a daily basis. Presumably, any lesser degree of interaction could readily be accomplished through a recurring visit request. The proposed position must clearly serve the best interests of the Army.

(c) Step 3. DCS, G2 will coordinate the proposal within HQDA. (d) Step 4. After HQDA coordination is completed, DCS, G2 will finalize the decision on the proposal and formally notify the appropriate foreign government embassy. Upon notification of approval by the DCS, G2, the DA command or agency to which the FLO will be assigned will immediately begin to finalize the position DDL for approval. Upon receipt of the final draft DDL proposal, DCS, G2 will review the document. Upon approval of the DDL, DCS, G2 will notify the hosting Army command or agency and the appropriate foreign military attache to proceed with the assignment of the FLO. The approved DDL will be in place prior to the submission of the EVA request by the appropriate foreign military attache. Additionally, the appropriate foreign military attache must provide a photograph and biography of the FLO nominee to the Army FLO PM before the EVA will be approved.

(2) Request initiated by a Department of the Army command or agency for establishment of a foreign liaison officer position.

(a) Step 1. Prior to beginning discussions with foreign representatives on the establishment of a FLO position, DA
commands or agencies must obtain the permission of the DCS, G2 to proceed. Such proposals will be conveyed in writing through command or agency channels to DCS, G2.

(b) Step 2. A DA command or agency will provide the following information to support its initiative to establish a FLO position:
1. Title of the position.

2. Position location. 3. Description of specific duties of the position. 4. Classified access level required. 5. Draft DDL. DDLs are required for all FLO positions regardless of the classification access level required for the position. All FLO DDLs, regardless of the classification access level, are approved by DCS, G2.

6. Clear statement of need for the position. The rationale must clearly demonstrate the requirement for the FLO's physical presence on virtually a daily basis. Presumably, any lesser degree of interaction could readily be accomplished through a recurring visit request. The proposed position must clearly serve the best interests of the Army.

(c) Step 3. DCS, G2 will coordinate the proposal within HQDA. (d) Step 4. After HQDA coordination is completed, DCS, G2 will finalize the decision on the initiative and formally submit the proposal to the appropriate foreign government embassy. If the latter is receptive to the proposal, DCS, G2 will direct the negotiations for DA. While the negotiations are being conducted, the DA command or agency that initiated the proposal will immediately begin to finalize the draft DDL for approval. Upon receipt of the final draft DDL, DCS, G2 will review the document. Upon approval of the DDL, DCS, G2 will hold the document, awaiting conclusion of the negotiations and formal agreement to establish a FLO position. Upon establishment of the FLO position, the approved DDL will already be in place awaiting the submission of the EVA request.

b. Processing of foreign liaison officer nominations. If the FLO position is established, DCS, G2 will process the assignment of the FLO to a DA command or agency in the following manner:
(1) *Step 1*. The appropriate foreign military attache will submit an EVA request at least 90 days prior to the requested date of arrival and/or assignment of the FLO. In the EVA request, the foreign military attache provides written notification to DCS, G2 of the following:
(a) The FLO is an officially-sponsored representative of that government. (b) The FLO is authorized by the sponsoring government to conduct business with DA for purposes that must be specific, citing related agreements, contracts, or other arrangements that establish acceptance of the FLO position.

(c) The FLO's legal status (including any privileges and immunities to which the individual is entitled).

(d) The FLO holds a specified level of security clearance.

(e) The FLO may assume temporary custody of CMI documentary information for courier purposes.

(f) The parent government will assume the responsibility for any and all U.S. CMI provided to the FLO. (g) The FLO will obtain the appropriate U.S. Visa in their passport for themselves and for any accompanying dependents.

(h) In the Embassy Remarks section of the Extended Visit Request, identify any dependents accompanying the FLO, if any. Dependent information must include accompanying family member's full name, passport number, gender, birth date, country of citizenship, and relationship to the sponsor. If no dependents are accompanying the extended visitor, a statement to that effect should be entered into the Embassy Remarks section.

(2) *Step 2*. DCS, G2 will process the EVA request to the DA command or agency to which the FLO is to be assigned. Since the position DDL outlining the terms of the certification of the FLO was pre-coordinated and approved, the recipient DA command or agency should respond favorably within the required suspense assigned to the EVA request. See appendix D for detailed information on DDLs.

(3) *Step 3*. Upon receipt of the concurrence of the recipient DA command or agency and receipt of the required photograph and biography from the foreign military attache, DCS, G2 will approve the EVA request and notify the recipient DA command or agency of the approval. The foreign military attache will then coordinate with the recipient DA command or agency for the arrival of the FLO.

Note. DA commands or agencies will not accept a FLO until the DDL and visit request have been approved. If a FLO arrives prior to visit approval, the DA command or agency involved will not permit the FLO to commence their duties. The DA command or agency FDO must be notified immediately. The DA command or agency FDO will then notify the DCS, G2, which will coordinate the disposition of FLO with the appropriate foreign military attache and provide instructions to the DA command or agency FDO.

c. Modification of a foreign liaison officer position. Any proposal to change the scope of a FLO's certification will be according to the procedures outlined in paragraph J3a with emphasis on the specific modification. Any proposal to extend the FLO's assignment must be initiated and requested by the appropriate foreign military attache utilizing the FVS or by letter, if the embassy is not on FVS. Under the "purpose of visit request" section of the extension request, appropriate foreign military attache will state "extension of current visit," citing the existing visit request number.

J4. Revalidation of foreign liaison officer positions a. Annual revalidation. All FLO positions will be revalidated annually to ensure the best interests of the DA and host command or agency continue to be served and the purpose of the position remains valid. ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs will provide a consolidated report, in memo form, to the DCS, G2 annually. Guidance and suspense for the revalidation will be issued by the DCS, G2. Reports will provide the following:
(1) The benefit gained by the Army from each FLO position. (2) The FLO's compliance with the country specific liaison officer MOU and/or MOA.

(3) The FLO's compliance with the DDL established for the FLO position. b. Modification or termination of foreign liaison officer positions. Recommendations for the modification or termination of a FLO position will be made in writing by the hosting commander, forwarded through the appropriate ACOM, ASCC, or DRU to the DCS, G2. Termination recommendations require a clear justification and flag level signature.

J5. Conditions and limitations a. Certification by DA of FLOs does not bestow diplomatic or other special privileges, although certified FLOs may have diplomatic privileges based on an accreditation by the Department of State. FLOs will not act in a dual capacity as a representative of their government and as a foreign exchange personnel participant (for example, a PEP or ESEP) or CPP while assigned to a DA command or agency.

b. The activities of FLOs will be limited to representational responsibilities on behalf of their governments, as described in their certifications. FLOs will not perform activities that are the responsibility of employees of the DA organization to which they are assigned or represent the DA organization in any capacity. FLOs will not participate in nonrepresentational activities or other activities, such as airborne operations, piloting Army aircraft, or rappelling, unless specifically cited in an agreement or officially requested by the parent government and approved by the DCS, G2 or their designee. Questions concerning the authorized activities of FLOs will be referred, through command or agency channels, to DCS, G2 for resolution.

c. FLOs will not represent their governments as associate technical project officers (ATPOs) in support of DEAs.

d. When the assignment of security assistance FLOs is accomplished pursuant to an LOA, USASAC will ensure that certain conditions and limitations are entered into the LOA. These conditions and limitations are at figure J4.

e. FLOs may assume temporary custody of authorized CMI documentary information to act as couriers (physical conveyance) only when they are authorized in writing by their respective governments to assume responsibility as an agent of their respective governments and the approval of DCS, G2 is granted. They may have access to U.S. CMI authorized for disclosure to their government as defined in the position DDL and the individual certification form. Issuance of USG security containers for temporary storage of CMI may be authorized, but the supplied container and its contents will remain the responsibility of the U.S. installation's security office, to include the security combination.

f. FLOs' access to restricted areas will be according to AR 19013 and local security policies and procedures and as specified in DDLs.

g. FLOs will not perform escort duties involving foreign visitors. h. FLOs will wear their uniforms, if they are military personnel, or, if civilian, wear appropriate civilian attire. They also must wear, in clear view, a DOD building or installation pass or badge, if required, that clearly identifies them as foreign nationals and that is valid for a specific facility during normal duty hours. Any other identification (including organizational code and title, block, or office nameplate) used by or issued to FLOs by the host Army command or agency will clearly identify the FLO as a foreign representative. Email addresses will be in accordance with AR 252.

i. While assigned to a DA and/or DOD installation, FLOs will comply with all DOD, Service, command, and local installation rules and regulations.

j. All costs associated with the placement of a FLO at a DA installation or DA contractor facility are the responsibility of the FLO's parent government or international organization, including travel, office space, clerical support, quarters, rations, medical and dental services, and other administrative support costs, unless specifically stated otherwise in an applicable international agreement.

k. FLOs will be required to reside in CONUS at or within normal commuting distance of the organizational command or agency to which the FLO is certified.

J6. Administering foreign liaison officers a. Visits. (1) A RVA will be submitted by the parent government's military attache according to the self-invited visit procedures described in appendix I for all visits to activities outside the hosting command.

(2) All visits by a FLO to destinations outside DA jurisdiction (that is, destinations under the organizational jurisdiction of other Services, OSD, JCSincluding unified and specified commandsand other Federal departments and agencies) but within the terms of certification will be coordinated by the FLO's contact officer. The contact officer will comply with the procedures of the proposed host organization for the visit. For example, the proposed host organization may require a letter of request from the FLO's parent embassy. In such cases, the contact officer should have the FLO notify their embassy of the proposed host organization's requirements and obtain the proper documentation for submission to the host organization.

(3) Travel-related funding for all FLO visits is the exclusive responsibility of the FLO's parent government. The provisions of AR 951 govern travel on U.S. military aircraft by FLOs.

b. Library and publications support. At the discretion of the host command or agency, a FLO may be granted supervised access to unclassified (to include CUI) sections of a command or agency library. Additionally, each FLO may be provided a reference set of DA and activity publications necessary to the successful performance of the FLO's duties, consistent with the FLO's approved terms of certification. Publication reference sets are to be on loan, and such sets must be returned or transferred to the FLO's successor when the FLO's certification ends.

c. Computer access. The provisions of AR 252 and local security procedures will apply.

d. Misconduct. When assigned to the Army, FLOs will conform to the Army's customs and traditions and will comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory (DOD, DA, and local) guidance. If a FLO violates the terms of certification; violates applicable law or DOD, DA, or local regulatory guidance; or otherwise conducts personal or professional affairs in an unsatisfactory manner, the hosting command or agency will provide a written report regarding the inappropriate action through proper channels (see para I16). Any instances of personal misconduct will be reported to DCS, G2, in a timely manner, with details of corrective action taken or a recommendation for final disposition by HQDA, such as temporary suspension or permanent revocation of privileges, or revocation of certification. DCS, G2 will coordinate the resolution of all cases involving FLO personal misconduct.

J7. Foreign disclosure officer In support of this program, the FDO will be responsible for
a. Assisting in the development of the DDL associated with each FLO position established within their command or agency.

b. Providing the command position on the RVA in accordance with the assigned suspense. c. Providing advice and assistance on all matters pertaining to the disclosure of CMI or CUI to each FLO assigned to the command or agency.

d. Facilitate uploading signed terms of certification and the computer usage statement to SENTRY within ten days of the signing date. In those cases where use of SENTRY is not possible, DCS, G2 will accept a hard copy.

## J8. United States Contact Officer The Responsibilities Outlined In Paragraphs O2 Through O3 Apply.

J9. Administrative support personnel a. Administrative support personnel for FLOs will not be permitted to act on behalf of the supported FLO (that is, sign for documents, attend meetings without the supported FLO, and so on) or to represent the foreign government. The use of these administrative support personnel is to be approved solely for the limited purpose of assisting the FLO in clerical and secretarial matters.

b. There are two authorized categories of individuals who may be hired to serve as administrative support personnel: (1) *Foreign nationals*. If the individual is a foreign national hired directly by the foreign government, the administrative support person must be nominated by the foreign embassy on an extended visit request. However, a visit request is not required for an administrative support person if access to the Army activity or installation is not necessary (that is, the FLO office is not located on the Army activity or installation). There are two types of foreign nationals that may be hired by FLOs as administrative support personnel: individuals in the U.S. on a work visa and individuals (that is, spouses of military attaches or FLOs) that have been granted waivers to work by both the Department of State and the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

(2) *U.S. persons*. If a private U.S. citizen or a permanent resident has been hired by the foreign government on a full-time basis to perform administrative support to a FLO, no visit request is required. However, the host command or agency will provide written notification to DCS, G2 of the hiring if access (ingress and egress) to the installation is required. For foreign disclosure purposes, these administrative personnel are considered to be foreign representatives.

c. A private U.S. person working as an administrative support person for a FLO must be granted a foreign government security clearance to support the position if access to CMI is required. The security clearance will be certified to the Army through an RVA. However, access to CMI will be limited to that classified information which has been properly cleared and disclosed to the FLO. Therefore, the administrative support person will not have access to U.S. CMI other than through the supported FLO.

d. An administrative support person that requires ingress and egress to restricted areas on an installation will be issued a foreign representative badge.

e. The parent government embassy in Washington, DC, will submit an RVA for travel of any administrative support person (regardless of nationality) to other Army facilities in the company of the FLO.

f. Army activities will develop positional ingress and/or egress DDLs for each administrative support position.

Electronic copies of the positional ingress and/or egress DDLs will be forwarded to DCS, G2 within ten working days of approval.

## Appendix K Standardization Representatives

K1. Concept a. The ABCA Armies Program began in 1947, when General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery agreed that the levels of cooperation and standardization achieved during World War II should be maintained and extended. Since that original agreement, the ABCA Armies Program has produced more than 1,000 standardization agreements, known as ABCA Standards, to advance interoperability between the five nations especially in coalition operations. The current ABCA Armies Program is based upon the Basic Standardization Agreement (BSA) of 1964, which provides for the unencumbered exchange of information, equipment, and personnel between and among participating countries. The DCS, G3/5/7 is the DA proponent for this program, and AR 341 is the proponent regulation.

b. Under the authority of the BSA, each of the armies participating in the ABCA Armies Program exchange StanReps with each of the other armies in the program to conduct liaison between the "parent" army and the "host" army and to participate in ABCA activities in the "host" country. The British, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand StanReps in the U.S. are certified as operational FLOs, who perform the StanRep function as additional duties.

c. ABCA Capability Groups are the basic forums used to exchange information and work on improving the capability of ABCA armies to operate together in a coalition environment. ABCA Support Groups provide advice and support to the Program, especially to the Capability Groups, in relation to their support area. There are five Capability Groups, three Support Groups and NPOCs represented in each group.

d. Capability Groups develop topics for inclusion on a standardization list (StanList), which is available online
(http://www.abca-armies.org). The army that is responsible for a particular topic on the StanList shares information regarding that topic with the other participating armies. Prior to inclusion on the StanList of any topic over which the Army will assume responsibility, the U.S. NPOC will ensure the normal foreign disclosure approval process as cited in this regulation is affected.

K2. Standardization representative international agreement and certification
a. International agreement. The BSA of 1964 governs the assignment of StanReps to DA commands or agencies.
b. Certification. Certification will be according to the BSA of 1964 and paragraph J2c (see fig K1).

## K3. Establishment Of Standardization Representative Positions And Processing Of Standardization Representative Nominations The Procedures Outlined In Paragraph J3 Apply For Stanreps.

K4. Conditions and limitations The conditions and limitations outlined in paragraphs J5 and J6d apply for StanReps.

K5. Administering standardization representatives The procedures outlined in paragraph J6 apply for StanReps. In addition, BCA StanReps are not required to coordinate with or seek the approval of their respective contact officer to attend any announced, formal ABCA meeting. They must coordinate all travel within the U.S. for nonformalized or non-ABCA meetings with their respective contact officer. Nonformalized or non-ABCA meetings are defined as those meetings not hosted by Army representatives or not approved by the ABCA Armies Program.

K6. Foreign disclosure officer The responsibilities outlined in paragraph J7 apply. Additionally, in the event that a BCA StanRep requests Army information related to a specific topic on the StanList, the FDO should advise the StanRep to contact the parent government NPOC, who oversees the Capability Group for that particular topic. The list of the Capability Groups and associated NPOCs for each Capability Group is available online (http://www.abca-armies.org).

## K7. United States Contact Officer The Responsibilities Outlined In Paragraphs O2 Through O3 Apply. Appendix L Military Personnel Exchange Program

L1. Concept The MPEP with Armies of Other Nations involves the assignment of Army and foreign armed forces personnel to authorized positions within each party's military establishment. The DCS, G3/5/7 is the proponent for the program and directs it under the provisions of AR 61410. MPEP is an Army security cooperation program. In accordance with applicable exchange program regulations, foreign military personnel are integrated into the DA work force. Such exchanges are established under a formal MOA between the Army and a foreign military service under AR 55051.

L2. Conditions and limitations a. MPEP participants will not act in the dual capacity as a foreign exchange personnel participant and as a representative of their government (for example, a FLO) while assigned to a DA command.

b. MPEP participants will not serve as conduits between DA and their government for requests and transmission of CMI and CUI nor be used as a mechanism for exchanging technical data or other controlled information between the governments.

c. MPEP participants will not be assigned to command or other positions that would require them to exercise responsibilities reserved by law or regulation to an officer or employee of the USG. They will not, for example, perform responsibilities of a contracting officer's technical representative, component duty officer, classified document custodian or security officer, escort for foreign visitors, or perform other official acts as a representative of DA.

d. MPEP participants will not be assigned to DOD contractor facilities. e. DA will not submit ENDP requests solely to accommodate the establishment of a MPEP position. f. The assignment of MPEP participants will not be used for training foreign personnel or, instead of, or in combination with MPEP certification. Pursuant to Section 1082 of Public Law 104201, training may not be conducted under the MPEP except as necessary to familiarize, orient, or certify MPEP participants regarding unique aspects of the positions to which they are assigned.

g. MPEP participants will not be placed in duty positions that could result in their access to CMI or CUI that has not been authorized for disclosure to their government.

h. MPEP participants will not have permanent (documentary) custody of CMI and CUI. They may have access to the information during normal duty hours at the place of assignment when access is necessary to perform their duties and the information is authorized for disclosure pursuant to the supporting DDL. As such, documentary disclosures are not appropriate for inclusion in DDLs for MPEPs.

i. MPEP participants' access to restricted areas will be in accordance with AR 19013 and local security policies and procedures and as specified in the supporting DDL.

j. MPEP participants will wear their uniforms in accordance with local command customs and tradition. If required, they will wear, in clear view, a DA building or installation pass or badge that clearly identifies them as foreign nationals.

k. Any other identification (including organizational code and title, block, office nameplate, security badge, or email address) used by or issued to MPEP participants by the host Army units will clearly identify the MPEP participant's status as a foreign national. Email addresses will be in accordance with AR 252.

L3. Military Personnel Exchange Program memorandum of agreement and certification a. Memorandum of agreement. AR 61410 provides detailed information on MPEP MOAs. b. Certification. (1) MPEP participants are certified to DA commands or agencies to perform assigned duties. Terms of certification are derived from and are consistent with the scope of the MOA.

(2) Each MPEP participant must sign a certification statement acknowledging the terms of their assignment. A copy of the signed certification statement, which will be maintained by the local FDO, must be provided to the MPEP with copies to the servicing FDO, ACOM, ASC, and/or DRU FDO, DCS, G2 and DCS, G3/5/7, HQDA. If the MPEP participant refuses to sign the certification statement, the command or agency must immediately notify the DCS, G3/ 5/7, HQDA PM who will resolve the issue through the parent government's military attache in Washington, DC.

L4. Establishment of Military Personnel Exchange Program positions and processing of Military Personnel Exchange Program nominations a. Establishment of Military Personnel Exchange Program positions. Only the HQDA proponent may approve establishment, disestablishment, or changes to MPEP positions. A DDL is required for all MPEP positions and must be approved prior to finalizing the establishment of the position.

b. Processing of visit requests for Military Personnel Exchange Program nominations. All visit requests for MPEP
nominations will be processed in the following manner:
(1) Step 1: The appropriate foreign military attache will submit an RVA at least 90 days prior to the requested date of assignment of the MPEP participant. In the RVA request, the foreign military attache provides written notification to DCS, G2, HQDA of the following:
(a) Subject individual is an officially-sponsored exchange participant of that government. (b) The official holds the specified level of security clearance. (c) The parent government will assume the responsibility for any and all U.S. CMI provided to the MPEP
participant.

(2) Step 2: DCS, G2, HQDA will process the RVA to the PM and command or agency to which the MPEP
participant is to be assigned. Since the position DDL outlining the terms of the certification of the MPEP participant will be pre-coordinated and approved, the recipient DA command or agency should respond favorably within the required suspense for the RVA request. See appendix D for detailed information on DDLs.

(3) Step 3: Upon receipt of the concurrence of the recipient command or agency, approval of the supporting DDL, and after obtaining a photograph and biography from the respective embassy, DCS, G2, HQDA will approve the RVA and notify DCS, G3/5/7, HQDA, the foreign military attache, and the recipient command or agency of the approval. The foreign military attache will then coordinate with the recipient command or agency for the arrival of the MPEP participant.

Note. DA commands or agencies may not accept a MPEP participant until the DDL and visit request have been approved. If an MPEP participant arrives prior to visit approval, the command or agency involved will not permit the MPEP participant to commence their duties. The command or agency FDO must be notified immediately. The command or agency FDO will then notify DCS, G2, HQDA, who will coordinate the disposition of MPEP participant with DCS, G3/5/7, HQDA and the appropriate foreign military attache and provide instructions to the command or agency FDO.

## L8. United States Contact Officer The Responsibilities Outlined In Paragraphs O2 And O4. Appendix M Engineers And Scientists Exchange Program

M1. Concept The ESEP is a professional development endeavor that promotes international cooperation in military research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) through the exchange of military and/or government civilian scientists and engineers. This program provides on-site working assignments for foreign personnel in Army activities, and for U.S. personnel in foreign army activities. The work assignments will provide ESEP personnel work experience as spelled out under an approved position description and at the direction of a host supervisor, as well as knowledge of the organization and management of that army establishment to which they are assigned. Within the Army, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Defense Exports and Cooperation (DASA (DE&C)) in the ASA (ALT) is the Army lead agent and exercises Army responsibility for coordinating placement of foreign personnel in Army installations under the provisions of AR 7041.

a. The goals of the program are to leverage state-of-the-art technology of mutual interest to the U.S. and the foreign country involved, conserve scarce resources by reducing duplicative RDT&E efforts, and promote mutual cadres of defense professionals who will continue to support international armaments cooperation activities.

b. The ESEP is not a training program, a means of exchanging personnel for production or codevelopment purposes, nor a means of augmenting personnel resources above currently authorized manning levels.

M2. Conditions and limitations a. ESEP participants will not act in the dual capacity as a foreign exchange personnel participant and as a representative of their government (for example, a FLO) while assigned to a DA command or agency.

b. ESEP participants will not serve as conduits between DA and their government for requests and transmission of CMI and CUI nor be used as a mechanism for exchanging technical data or other controlled information between the governments.

c. ESEP participants will not be assigned to command or other positions that would require them to exercise responsibilities reserved by law or regulation to an officer or employee of the USG. They will not, for example, perform responsibilities of a contracting officer's technical representative, component duty officer, classified document custodian or security officer, escort for foreign visitors, or perform other official acts as a representative of DA.

d. ESEP participants will not be assigned to DOD contractor facilities. e. DA will not submit ENDP requests solely to establish an ESEP position. f. The assignment of ESEP participants will not be used for training foreign personnel or in combination with FLO
certification. Pursuant to Section 1082 of Public Law 104201, training may not be conducted under the ESEP except as necessary to familiarize, orient, or certify ESEP participants regarding unique aspects of the positions to which they are assigned.

g. ESEP participants will not be used for the purpose of augmenting DA staff positions or as a means to obtain personnel resources beyond authorized manning levels.

h. ESEP participants will not be placed in duty positions that could result in their access to CMI or CUI that has not been authorized for disclosure to their government.

i. ESEP participants may have temporary custody of CMI and CUI necessary to perform their duties and the information is authorized for disclosure pursuant to the DDL. As such, documentary disclosures are not appropriate for inclusion in DDLs for ESEPs. In all cases, local security policies and procedures apply.

j. ESEP participants' access to restricted areas will be in accordance with AR 19013 and local security policies and procedures and as specified in DDLs.

k. ESEP military participants will wear their uniforms while civilian participants will wear civilian attire in accordance with local command customs and tradition.

Note. In the event such clothing poses a safety hazard (for example, in a laboratory setting), allowances to this requirement may be made by authorized personnel. They will wear, in clear view, a DA building or installation pass or badge (if required) that clearly identifies them as foreign nationals.

l. Any other identification (including organizational code and title, block, office nameplate, security badge, or email address) used by or issued to ESEP participants by the host Army units will clearly identify the ESEP participant's status as a foreign national. Email addresses will be in accordance with AR 252.

m. ESEP participants will sign a statement regarding invention rights.

M3. Engineers and Scientist Exchange Program memorandum of understanding and certification a. Memorandum of understanding. AR 7041 provides the overarching authority for the ESEP. b. Certification.

(1) ESEP participants are certified to a DA activity to perform duties of their approved position description, Certificate of Conditions and Responsibilities, Commitment Regarding Inventions Made and Technical Information Developed by Visiting Engineers and Scientists per the applicable MOU, AR 7041, and RVA. These terms of certification are derived from and are consistent with the scope of existing bilateral ESEP international agreements.

(2) Each ESEP participant must sign the aforementioned Certificate of Conditions and Responsibilities acknowledging the terms of their assignment. The ESEP participant will be provided a copy of the signed certification during inprocessing. If the ESEP participant refuses to sign the certification statement, the command or agency must immediately notify the Army lead agent, which will notify DCS, G2, HQDA, and together resolve the issue with the parent government's military attache in Washington, DC.

M4. Establishment of Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program positions and processing of Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program nominations a. Establishment of Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program positions. Only the Army lead agent may approve the establishment of ESEP assignments. The Army lead agent is responsible for coordinating prospective ESEP positions with the relevant host placement activity level, ACOM level, and DA level entities. A DDL is required for all ESEP positions.

Note. Within HQDA, the Army lead agent, ASA (ALT), will coordinate ESEP actions with the following offices (at a minimum):
DCS, G2 and (as required) the Office of the General Counsel. The following ESEP establishment procedures are as follows:
(1) The Army lead agent will forward the assignment request to the Army host activity, which will examine the nomination to ensure that the nominee is qualified for the proposed position.

(2) The host activity must ensure that the entire ESEP assignment request package (that is, host endorsement letter, position description, professional background document (for example, curriculum vitae/resume), career areas of interest, and DDL) is completed no later than 60 days following receipt of the assignment request.

(3) The Army lead agent, upon receipt of the assignment request package from the host activity, will coordinate the assignment request package and execute internal and HQDA coordination to approve the assignment request.

(4) The Army lead agent upon internal review and approval will sign the assignment offer letter and forward it and the position description to the foreign ESEP lead agent for acceptance. The Certificate of Conditions and Responsibilities and Commitment Regarding Inventions Made and Technical Information Developed will be signed by the participant after reporting for duty at the in-processing session and/or briefing.

(5) Upon receipt of the assignment acceptance from the foreign ESEP lead agent, the Army lead agent will notify the nominee's Embassy to submit the RVA.

b. Processing of Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program nominations. The procedures for processing ESEP
assignment requests can be found in the ESEP MOU and AR 7041. In summary, upon receipt of the foreign government nomination:

(a) Subject individual is an officially-sponsored exchange participant of that government.

(b) The official holds a specified level of security clearance. (c) The parent government will assume the responsibility for any and all U.S. CMI provided to the ESEP
participant.

(2) Step 2: DCS, G2, HQDA will process the RVA request to the PM and command or agency to which the ESEP
participant is to be assigned. Since the position DDL outlining the terms of the assignment and/or position description of the ESEP participant will be pre-coordinated and approved, the recipient DA command or agency should respond favorably within the required suspense assigned to the RVA request. The position DDL or equivalent disclosure guidance will remain valid until there is a change to the scope of the position or the position is terminated. See appendix D for detailed information on DDLs.

(3) Step 3: Upon receipt of the concurrence of the recipient PM and command or agency, approval of the supporting DDL, and after obtaining a photograph and biography from the respective embassy, DCS, G2, HQDA will approve the RVA request and notify ODASA (DE&C), the Army lead agent, the foreign military attache, and the recipient command or agency of the approval. The foreign military attache will then coordinate with the recipient command or agency for the arrival of the ESEP participant.

c. Department of the Army commands or agencies may not accept an Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program participant until the position description, DDL and visit request have been approved. If the ESEP participant arrives prior to visit approval, the command or agency involved will not permit the ESEP participant to commence their duties. The command or agency FDO must be notified immediately. The command or agency FDO will then notify DCS, G2, HQDA, who will coordinate the disposition of ESEP participant with the Army lead agent, and the appropriate foreign military attache and provide instructions to the command or agency FDO.

d. Modification of an Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program position. Any proposal to change the scope of an ESEP participant's position description will be in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph M4a, with emphasis on the specific modification. Any proposal to extend the ESEP participant's duration must be initiated and requested by the supervisor of the host command or agency through the Army lead agent for concurrence by the foreign lead agent, and then formally requested by the appropriate foreign military attache utilizing the FVS or by letter, if the embassy is not on FVS. Under "purpose of visit request" section of the extension request, the appropriate foreign military attache will state "extension of current visit" citing the existing visit request number.

M5. Administering Engineers and Scientists Exchange Program participants a. Visits. All DA-directed visits or travel by the ESEP participant will be in accordance with the work being performed under the approved position description and DDL. The sponsoring FDO will create a visit request ("V" case) in the FVS, coordinate the visit with the visited activity in conjunction with the contact officer, and release the position (close the case) in order to officially record the visit in FVS.

b. Library and publications support. At the discretion of the host command or activity contact officer and through coordination with the FDO, an ESEP participant may have supervised access to the CMI section of the command or agency library as long as it is within the scope of the approved DDL. Additionally, each ESEP participant may be provided a reference set of DA and/or host activity publications necessary to the successful performance of the ESEP position description, consistent with the ESEP participant's approved terms of certification. Publication reference sets are to be on loan, and such sets must be returned when the ESEP participant's assignment ends.

c. Computer access. ESEP participants may not have unsupervised access to computer systems (stand-alone or network) unless the information accessible by the computer is needed to accomplish the work under their approved position description and is authorized for disclosure to their government. In all cases, the provisions of AR 252 and local security procedures will apply.

d. Misconduct. ESEP participants serve at the pleasure of DA and will conform to the Army's customs and traditions and will comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory (DOD, DA, and local) guidance. If an ESEP participant violates the terms of certification, violates applicable law, DOD, DA, or local regulatory guidance, or otherwise conducts personal or professional affairs in an unsatisfactory manner, the hosting command will provide a written report regarding the inappropriate action, through proper channels (see para I16). Those instances of personal misconduct will be reported to the Army lead agent, in a timely manner, with the details of the corrective action taken or a recommendation for final disposition, such as temporary suspension or permanent revocation of privileges, or revocation of certification. The Army agent will provide DCS, G2, HQDA, with a copy of the report and coordinate the resolution of all ESEP misconduct cases.

If the CPP participant refuses to sign the certification statement, the command or agency must immediately notify the PM who will resolve the issue through the parent government's military attache in Washington, DC.

N4. Establishment of cooperative program personnel positions and processing of cooperative program personnel nominations a. Establishment of cooperative program personnel positions. DA commands and agencies desiring to have CPPs certified and assigned to them must formally obtain HQDA concurrence. A request for a new CPP position will not be finalized unless the respective foreign government has signed an international MOA. A DDL is required for all CPP positions. The procedures for establishing a new CPP position are as follows:
(1) Request initiated by a foreign government for establishment of a CPP position. (a) Step 1: If a foreign government initiates a request for the establishment of a CPP position with the Army, DASA
(DE&C), HQDA will notify the affected command or agency in writing and request a recommendation on the establishment of the proposed CPP position. Such proposals will be conveyed in writing through command or agency channels. For example, if the request involves the assignment of a CPP to a PEO PM office, DASA (DE&C), HQDA will send the proposal to ASA (ALT) for staffing to the appropriate PEO PM.

(b) Step 2: The specified DA command or agency will evaluate the proposal and submit to DASA (DE&C), HQDA
a recommendation to approve or disapprove the proposal. If the proposal involves the assignment of a CPP to the office of a PEO PM, the PM will coordinate their position with the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU matrix support and submit the coordinated position to ASA (ALT), which will forward the response to DASA (DE&C), HQDA. CPP position proposals must provide:
1. Position description. A position description will be prepared for each CPP position. The position description will contain as a minimum:
a. Title of the position. b. Position location. c. Qualification and skills required. d. Description of specific duties of the position.

e. Classified access level required. f. Draft DDL. 2. Clearly demonstrate or anticipate a mutual need for the position. The rationale must clearly demonstrate the requirement for the CPP's physical presence on virtually a daily basis. Presumably, any lesser degree of interaction could readily be accomplished through a recurring visit request. The proposed position must clearly serve the best interests of the Army.

(c) Step 3: DASA (DE&C), HQDA will coordinate the proposal within HQDA and with the following offices at a minimum: DCS, G2, ASA (ALT), DCS, G3/5/7, Office of the Judge Advocate General (OTJAG), and the subject matter expert, if different from the preceding offices.

(d) Step 4: After HQDA coordination is completed, DASA (DE&C), HQDA will finalize the decision on the proposal and formally notify the appropriate foreign government embassy. If the proposal is approved, the DA command or agency to which the CPP will be assigned will immediately begin to finalize the position DDL for approval and issuance by DCS, G2, HQDA. Upon concurrence and approval of the DDL, DASA (DE&C), HQDA, will notify the hosting Army command or agency and the appropriate foreign military attache. The approved DDL will be in place prior to the submission of the EVA request by the appropriate foreign military attache.

(2) Request initiated by a DA command or agency for establishment of a CPP position. (a) Step 1: Prior to beginning discussions with foreign representatives on the establishment of a CPP position, DA
commands or agencies must obtain DASA (DE&C), HQDA permission to proceed. Such proposals will be conveyed in writing through command or agency channels to DASA (DE&C), HQDA. Proposals conveyed through PEO PMs will be sent to ASA (ALT) for forwarding to DASA (DE&C), HQDA.

(b) Step 2: A DA command or agency will provide the following information in support of its initiative to establish a CPP position:
1. Position description. A position description will be prepared for each CPP position. The position description will contain as a minimum:
a. Title of the position. b. Position location. c. Qualification and skills required. d. Description of specific duties of the position. e. Classified access level required. f. Draft DDL. 2. Clear statement of need for the position. The rationale must clearly demonstrate the requirement for the CPP's physical presence on virtually a daily basis. Presumably, any lesser degree of interaction could readily be accomplished through a recurring visit request. The proposed position must clearly serve the best interests of the Army.

(c) Step 3: DASA (DE&C), HQDA will coordinate the proposal within HQDA and with the following offices at a minimum: DCS, G2, ASA (ALT), DCS, G3/5/7, OTJAG, and the subject matter expert, if different from the preceding offices.

(d) Step 4: After HQDA coordination is completed, DASA (DE&C) will finalize the decision on the initiative and formally submit the proposal to the appropriate foreign government embassy. If the latter is receptive to the proposal, DASA (DE&C) will direct the negotiations for DA. While the negotiations are being conducted, the DA command or agency that initiated the proposal will immediately begin to finalize the draft position DDL for approval and issuance by DCS, G2, HQDA. Upon concurrence and approval of the DDL, DCS, G2, HQDA will hold the document, awaiting conclusion of the negotiations and formal agreement to establish a CPP position. Upon establishment of the CPP position, the approved DDL will already be in place awaiting the submission of the EVA request by the appropriate foreign military attache.

b. Processing of cooperative program personnel nominations. If the CPP position is established, DCS, G2, HQDA
will process the assignment of the CPP to a DA command or agency in the following manner:
(1) Step 1: The appropriate foreign military attache will submit an EVA request at least 30 days prior to the requested date of arrival and/or assignment of the CPP. In the EVA request, the foreign military attache provides written notification to DCS, G2, HQDA of the following:
(a) Subject individual is an officially-sponsored official of that government.

(b) Such official is authorized by the sponsoring government to perform duties under a MOA. (c) The official holds a specified level of security clearance.

(d) The parent government will assume the responsibility for any and all U.S. CMI provided to the CPP.

(2) Step 2: DCS, G2, HQDA will process the EVA request to the PM and the DA command or agency (PEO PM
through its matrix support) to which the CPP is to be assigned. Since the DDL outlining the terms of the certification of the CPP was pre-coordinated and approved, the recipient DA command or agency should respond favorably within the required suspense assigned to the EVA request. See appendix D for detailed information on DDLs.

(3) Step 3: Upon receipt of the concurrence of the PM and the recipient DA command or agency and receipt of the required photograph and biography from the foreign military attache, DCS, G2, HQDA will approve the EVA request and notify the PM and the recipient DA command or agency of the approval. The foreign military attache will then coordinate with the recipient DA command or agency for the arrival of the CPP.

c. Department of the Army commands or agencies may not accept a cooperative program personnel until the disclosure authority letter and visit request have been approved. If a CPP arrives prior to visit approval, the DA
command or agency involved will not permit the CPP to commence their duties. The DA command or agency FDO must be notified immediately. The DA command or agency FDO will then notify the DCS, G2, HQDA, who will coordinate the disposition of CPP with DASA (DE&C) and the appropriate foreign military attache, and provide instructions to the DA command or agency FDO.

d. Modification of a cooperative program personnel position. Any proposal to change the scope of a CPP's certification will be in accordance with the procedures outlined in paragraph N4a, with emphasis on the specific modification. Any proposal to extend the CPP's duration must be initiated and requested by the appropriate foreign military attache utilizing the FVS or by letter, if the embassy is not on FVS. Under "purpose of visit request" section of the extension request, appropriate foreign military attache will state "extension of current visit" citing the existing visit request number.

e. Reevaluation of a cooperative program personnel position. Once established, each CPP position and the associated DDL will be reevaluated on each successive nomination to ensure that the best interests of the host command or agency and DA continue to be served, and the purpose of the position remains valid. To alleviate the possibility of a CPP arriving to assume an established position prior to visit approval, DCS, G2, HQDA will initiate contact with the appropriate foreign government military attache in Washington, DC 90 days prior to the tour expiration date of the incumbent CPP and query the foreign military attache concerning a replacement for the position, extension of the incumbent CPP, or other alternatives contemplated by the parent government. The DCS, G2, HQDA will also inform the sponsoring Army command or agency of the intended action, if any, of the foreign government to alter the status of the CPP position. The host command or agency FDO and contact officer will also commence their reevaluation 90 days prior to the tour expiration date of the incumbent CPP.

N5. Administering cooperative program personnel participants a. Visits. All DA-directed visits or travel by the CPP participant will be in accordance with the work being performed under the approved position description and DDL. The sponsoring FDO will create a visit request ("V" case) in the FVS, coordinate the visit with the visited activity in conjunction with the contact officer, and release the position (close the case) in order to officially record the visit in FVS. DASA (DE&C) approval is required for all OCONUS travel by any CPP participant.

b. Library and publications support. At the discretion of the host activity, a CPP may be granted supervised access to the CMI section of a command or agency library. Additionally, each CPP may be provided a reference set of DA and activity publications necessary to the successful performance of the CPP's duties, consistent with the CPP's approved terms of certification. Publication reference sets are to be on loan, and such sets must be returned or transferred to the CPP's successor when the CPP's certification ends.

c. Computer access. CPPs may not have unsupervised access to computer systems (stand-alone or network) unless the information accessible by the computer is needed to accomplish the work under their approved position description and is authorized for disclosure to their government. In all cases, the provisions of AR 252 and local security procedures will apply.

d. Misconduct. CPP participants serve at the pleasure of DA and will conform to the Army's customs and traditions and will comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory (DOD, DA, and local) guidance. If a CPP violates the terms of certification; violates applicable law, DOD, DA, or local regulatory guidance, or otherwise conducts personal or professional affairs in an unsatisfactory manner, the hosting command will provide a written report regarding the inappropriate action through proper channels (see para I16).

## Attache A Diplomatic Official Or Military Officer Attached To An Embassy Or Legation, Especially In A Technical Capacity. Budget ActivitiesResearch, Development, Test, And Evaluation Descriptions Of Budget Activities 13 Are Provided Below.

Budget activity 1 (BA1)basic research Basic research efforts provide fundamental knowledge for the solution of identified military problems. Includes all efforts of scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing knowledge and understanding in those fields of physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs. It provides farsighted, high-payoff research, including critical enabling technologies that provide the basis for technological progress. It forms a part of the base for subsequent exploratory and advanced developments in defense-related technologies as well as for new and improved military functional capabilities in areas such as communications, detection, tracking, surveillance, propulsion, mobility, guidance and control, navigation, energy conversion, materials and structures, and personnel support. Basic research efforts precede the system-specific research.

Budget activity 2 (BA2)exploratory development This activity translates promising basic research into solutions for broadly defined military needs, short of major development projects, with a view to developing and evaluating technical feasibility. This type of effort may vary from fundamental applied research to sophisticated breadboard hardware, study, programming and planning efforts that establish the initial feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions to technological challenges. It would thus include studies, investigations, and non-system-specific development efforts. The dominant characteristic of this category of effort is that it be pointed toward specific military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicability of proposed solutions and determining their parameters. Program control of the exploratory development normally will be exercised by a general level of effort. Exploratory development precedes the system-specific research.

Budget activity 3 (BA3)advanced development Includes all efforts that have moved into the development and integration of hardware and other technology products for field experiments and tests. The results of this type of effort are proof of technological feasibility and assessment of operability and producibility that could lead to the development of hardware for service use. It also includes advanced technology demonstrations that help expedite technology transitions from the laboratory to operational use. Projects in this category have a direct relevance to identified military needs. Advanced development may include concept exploration, but is system specific.

Contact officer A DA member trained, certified, and designated in writing to oversee and facilitate all contacts, requests for information, consultations, access, and other activities of foreign nationals who are assigned to a DA component or subordinate organization. The identification of the contact officer in an approved RVA is recognized as designation in writing. In the cases of foreign exchange and cooperative personnel, the host supervisor may be the contact officer.

Controlled unclassified information A categorical designation that refers to unclassified information that does not meet the standards for National Security Classification in accordance with Executive Order 13526, but is pertinent to the national interests of the U.S. or to the important interests of entities outside the Federal Government and under law or policy requires safeguarding or dissemination controls, pursuant to and consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Government-wide policies.

Cooperative program A program for research, development, test, evaluation, and/or production that is not implemented under the Security Assistance Program.

Cooperative program personnel Foreign government personnel assigned to a multinational program office that is hosted by DA pursuant to the terms of a Cooperative Program International Agreement who report to and take direction from a DA-appointed PM (or PM equivalent) for the purpose of carrying out the multinational project or program. Foreign government representatives described in such agreements as liaison officers or observers are not considered cooperative program personnel and will be treated as FLOs.

Coproduction Method by which items intended for military application are produced under the provisions of a formal agreement that provides for the transfer of technical information and know-how from one government to another.

Country liaison officer An officer or noncommissioned officer of a foreign military establishment selected by their government and attached to a DOD or civilian activity for the primary purpose of assisting in the administration of international military students from the home country.
