## 12. References Required And Related Publications And Prescribed And Referenced Forms Are Listed In Appendix A. 13. Explanation Of Abbreviations And Terms Abbreviations And Special Terms Used In This Regulation Are Explained In The Glossary.

14. Responsibilities a. The Commanding General (CG), USACIDC, will exercise command authority, direction, and control of Army criminal investigative activities worldwide. The Commanding General, USACIDC, will
(1) Establish policies for the release of information from, and the amendment of, criminal investigation records and reports of investigations (ROIs).

(2) Evaluate Army law enforcement polygraph program activities and provide membership on DOD polygraph committees.

(3) Maintain overall responsibility for Army investigations of offenses involving "controlled substances" as defined in Section 812, Title 21, United States Code (USC) (21 USC 812).

(4) Plan for and provide USACIDC support for each contingency plan maintained by HQDA and its subordinate commands. Plans for criminal investigative support will be coordinated with the commander responsible for the overall contingency plan.

b. The Commanding General, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) will oversee the formal training of USACIDC personnel at TRADOC schools as necessary to meet the requirements of USACIDC.

c. Commanders of Army Commands (ACOMS) and Army Service Component Command (ASCC) and Direct Reporting Units (DRUs), within their respective areas of responsibilities, will
(1) Ensure that known or suspected criminal activity is reported to the installation law enforcement activity and, when appropriate, to USACIDC for investigation.

(2) Support the USACIDC by providing facilities and support required by the USACIDC mission and authorized by applicable regulations or memorandum of understanding to assist the USACIDC in meeting the criminal investigative, crime prevention, force protection, antiterrorism, and protective service requirements of subordinate commands, installations, and other supported Army activities.

d. Commanders, supervisors, and special agencies of subordinate U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command elements will
(1) Provide criminal investigative services to the U.S. Army on an area basis. (2) Provide reports and or statistical data to installation law enforcement activity Directors to provide supported commands with the relative number and types of serious crimes and incidents investigated, subjects identified, value of property stolen or recovered, and other information reflecting the status of discipline, law, and order necessary for the completion of reports required by HQDA. Statistical data necessary to support locally established reports may be provided within the administrative and recordkeeping capabilities of the supporting USACIDC element.

e .  C o m m a n d e r s  a n d  s u p e r v i s o r s  r e c e i v i n g  U S A C I D C  r e p o r t s  f o r  a c t i o n  o r  r e c e i v i n g  a c t i o n  c o p i e s  o f  f i n a l USACIDC ROIs pertaining to a member of their organization will
(1) Reply within 45 days through local command channels (using DA Form 4833, Commander's Report of Disciplinary or Administrative Action), ensuring that battalion commanders or the first lieutenant colonel in the chain of command completes the DA Form 4833 with attached supporting documentation to the USACIDC element preparing the ROI, indicating the judicial, non-judicial, or administrative action, or lack thereof, taken against persons listed in the title block of the final ROI. Changes to judicial, non-judicial, or administrative action resulting from subsequent appellate action will also be reported by commanders and supervisors to the USACIDC. The report of action taken is necessary to ensure completion of investigative files and to protect the rights of individuals involved.

(2) Notify all persons listed in the title block, who have no action taken against them, that their name will remain in the title block of the report and that the report will be indexed, and, therefore, retrievable by their name. Individuals will also be informed of the purposes for which the reports are used (for example, other criminal investigations, security clearances, other purposes as authorized by the Privacy Act and AR 34021, para 32) and the fact that such use may have an impact upon their military or civilian careers. Individuals will also be informed that the removal of their name from the title block or other amendment of the report may be accomplished only by submitting a written request to the Director, U.S. Army Crime Records Center, 6010 6th Street, Fort Belvoir, VA 220605585. Requests for amendment will be considered only as set forth in paragraph 44.

(3) The USACIDC will conduct crime prevention surveys to support commanders in crime prevention efforts. Crime prevention surveys will be initiated by the USACIDC element or will be conducted in response to a request from the supported commander. Commanders or supervisors of activities, facilities, units, or installations who have received a crime prevention survey by the USACIDC will furnish a report of corrective action taken or a statement that no corrective action was taken as a result of the survey, to the USACIDC field element within 90 days of the date of the survey. This report of corrective action must be forwarded by the commanders or supervisors through local command channels to the commander two levels above the activity, unit, facility, or installation surveyed, but in no case will reports be forwarded above Army Command level. A report of corrective action is not required for crime prevention surveys when
(a) Requested by the commanders or supervisors of activities, facilities, units, or installations.

(b) Conducted in support of a crime prevention program. (c) Crime conducive conditions are not identified.

15. Objectives T h e  o p e r a t i o n a l  p r o c e d u r e s  o f  e a c h  A r m y  U S A C I D C  e l e m e n t  w i l l  b e  d i r e c t e d  t o w a r d  a t t a i n i n g  t h e  f o l l o w i n g objectives:
a. Ensuring known or suspected serious crimes and crimes which may result in damaging the public confidence in the Army are thoroughly and impartially investigated by USACIDC special agents.

b. Participating in the Army crime prevention program by identifying areas which are especially vulnerable to crime and by making recommendations to appropriate authorities for elimination of conditions conducive to criminal activity. This USACIDC effort, in the form of crime surveys, includes the examination of all aspects of management and property and fiscal accountability in which malfeasance and misfeasance may occur, as well as criminal conditions, either engaged in or directed against Army personnel, which may affect troop health, discipline, and welfare both on and off military installations.

c. Promptly informing appropriate authorities of facts uncovered during criminal investigation and crime prevention activities, and preparing and submitting required reports in accordance with applicable directives.

16. Policies Continuing command emphasis and attention will be given to the application of the following policies:
a. Criminal incidents in the Army will be reported to the installation law enforcement activity. These criminal incidents include those affecting or involving persons subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), civilian employees and contractors of the DOD in connection with their assigned duties, and Government property under Army jurisdiction. Criminal incidents occurring at an installation or activity without an assigned law enforcement activity will be reported to the appropriate supporting installation law enforcement activity.

b. Serious crimes and incidents, as defined in this regulation, will be reported to, and investigated by, USACIDC
personnel. The commander of the appropriate USACIDC activity will direct the initiation of an investigation immediately upon receipt of information that a criminal incident falling within the investigative purview of USACIDC has occurred or is suspected. Once initiated, a criminal investigation will continue until completion.

c. Constant liaison and cooperation will be maintained with civilian and military law enforcement and investigative agencies and military intelligence activities to ensure that criminal investigative, or other information of mutual interest, is exchanged or disseminated.

17. Investigative policies a. The USACIDC is the sole agency within the U.S. Army responsible for the criminal investigation of felonies
(offenses punishable by death or confinement for more than 1 year), listed in appendix B and relevant felonies identified in Federal, state, or foreign statutes. Exceptions to this general policy are described in AR 19030, chapter 4, and this regulation. The USACIDC directives and policies, as they relate to criminal investigation activities, will be followed by all USACIDC personnel and elements throughout the U.S. Army.

b. Offenses will be reported as follows: (1) Commanders will ensure criminal incidents or allegations whenever an Army interest exists or involving persons subject to the UCMJ, civilian employees, and DOD contractors, if related to their assigned duties or position, government property under Army jurisdiction, or those incidents occurring in areas under Army control are reported to installation law enforcement activity in accordance with AR 19045, paragraph 14c. Information indicating a violation of DOD Regulation 5500.7R or the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that develops into possible criminal activity will also be reported to the installation law enforcement activity.

(2) Barracks larcenies of property of a value of less than $1,500, simple assaults occurring in unit areas and not resulting in hospitalization and bigamy when there is no fraud of entitlements involved, will be reported to law enforcement activities for statistical and crime reporting purposes, but a law enforcement investigation is not required. Unit commanders will take appropriate action on these incidents. A law enforcement investigation will normally be conducted only when it is considered necessary by the provost marshal or security officer, the commander of USACIDC element, or when requested by a field grade commander in the chain of command of the unit concerned. Nothing in this regulation will be construed to allow the withholding of medical treatment to avoid installation law enforcement activity or USACIDC involvement.

c. Installation law enforcement activity will promptly refer all crimes or incidents falling within USACIDC investigative responsibility to the appropriate USACIDC element for investigation. Initially, notification will normally be accomplished by direct contact between the installation law enforcement activity desk sergeant and the supporting USACIDC unit. Formal referral will be by DA Form 3975 (Military Police Report (MPR)), or the equivalent report from the installation law enforcement activity.

d. Commanders of installations or activities without assigned installation law enforcement will report criminal incidents or allegations to the supporting USACIDC element or the supporting installation law enforcement activity, or both as appropriate.

e. The USACIDC will determine appropriate investigative action in accordance with this regulation for all criminal incidents or allegations reported to it or developed through its own sources. Necessary reports will be prepared reflecting the results thereof.

f. The USACIDC element receiving reports of criminal incidents or allegations from other than the installation law enforcement activity will notify the appropriate provost marshal or security officer of the incident, unless such notification will compromise the investigation (See para 314.)
g. Title 28 USC 535 (28 USC 535) requires that any information, allegation, or complaint relating to violations of Federal criminal law, involving Government officials and employees will be reported expeditiously to the Department of Justice (DOJ), unless the responsibility to investigate the matter is conferred upon the DOD (for example, an offense under the UCMJ) or as otherwise provided by law or agreement with the Attorney General (for example, the DOD/ DOJ Memorandum of Understanding).

(1) For violations in the United States, the normal method of referral and consultation with the appropriate DOJ
agency (for example, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Attorney) on all such violations involving either military or civilian personnel established pursuant to AR 2710, chapter 2, will suffice and should be used.

(2) In the case of overseas violations or loss or injury to the United States that affect U.S. Armed Forces activities, and which involve any civilian as a suspect or subject, whether or not such person is a DOD employee (for example, a defense contractor), a full report of investigation on the nature and apparent scope of the violation, loss, or injury will be provided through USACIDC channels. Headquarters, USACIDC, will notify DOJ as appropriate. A prompt initial notification should be submitted through USACIDC channels in all instances involving bribery or conflict of interest, and in those instances of fraud, theft, and unlawful destruction of Government property when the loss to the United States exceeds, or is expected to exceed, $5,000. In overseas areas, civilians may be titled for certain felony offenses under the provisions of the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA) (18 USC 3261) and DODI 5525.11, or during a declared war or contingency operation under Article 2, UCMJ. Civilians may also be titled for violations of local laws.

h. Information concerning purely political activities and personalities, or disorders in which no crime is indicated or suspected will not be collected, recorded, or reported by the USACIDC.

i. Continuous criminal investigation-military intelligence liaison will be maintained. Information concerning an offense or incident involving any person having access to classified defense information will be expeditiously provided to the proper military intelligence (MI) representative. Similarly, in accordance with AR 38120, chapter 2, MI components are obliged to expeditiously report criminal information to the appropriate military law enforcement authority. Certain computer intrusions, along with intelligence related crimes such as actual or alleged espionage, treason, or sedition may present situations where MI and USACIDC have concurrent investigative jurisdiction. The primary responsibility of MI is to investigate such incidents for intelligence and security-related purposes. The USACIDC shares the responsibility to investigate the incident to determine and investigate violations of criminal law for the purpose of reporting crime within Army investigative jurisdiction. The USACIDC and MI investigations are carried out on parallel tracks. Neither organization is considered the "lead" in any case. Due to these independent investigative responsibilities, neither USACIDC nor MI has an inherent right of first refusal for offenses within each organization's respective jurisdiction; however, USACIDC and MI investigations must be closely coordinated. The USACIDC may hold in abeyance its investigation in order to allow MI to first exhaust intelligence or security aspects of an incident. Conversely, in such situations such as known or suspected sabotage, when immediate evaluation of a crime scene is of paramount importance, the USACIDC should not delay investigative activity. Executive Order 12333
mandates that intelligence activity authorities shall not interfere with any authorized criminal law enforcement responsibility.

j. The receiving USACIDC element will refer information related to systemic weaknesses or managerial deficiencies, not of a criminal nature, to the appropriate commander.

k. Criminal intelligence (law enforcement information gathering activities) will be handled as follows: (1) The USACIDC has primary responsibility to operate a criminal intelligence program. The program will be designed to obtain, record, process, analyze, and disseminate information concerning criminal activities and terrorist threats directed against, involving, or affecting U.S. Army operations, material, personnel, and installations. The program will also develop, analyze, and report on the methods of operations used in criminal activities and terrorist operations. It will also be used to assess the vulnerability of Army activities to crime. The focus of the criminal intelligence program will be the detection, analysis, and prevention of criminal activity affecting the Army. Information gathered may be factual, fragmentary, or unsubstantiated.

(2) The USACIDC criminal intelligence gathering activities are not "counter-intelligence related" and are excluded from the provisions of AR 38013 in accordance with AR 38013, paragraph 3b(6). Safeguards will be established to preclude unauthorized release of information.

(3) The USACIDC units will ensure that within their area of responsibility there is close coordination and mutual exchange of criminal intelligence between their unit and other military and civilian law enforcement agencies on matters of common interest. Source confidentiality will be maintained.

(4) In no case will criminal information be restricted to USACIDC channels when that information provides strong indications that an offense is imminent and the commission of that offense will affect the safety or security of U.S. Army operations, personnel, or material. Release will be made only to the extent necessary to prevent the commission of the offense.

(5) Information concerning criminal activity of interest to agencies other than the DOD will be reported to the appropriate agency. In overseas areas where representatives of other Federal investigative agencies are not present, information of interest to those agencies will be forwarded to the Commander, USACIDC (CIOPIN), 6010 6th Street, Fort Belvoir, VA 220605506, for appropriate dissemination. All releases of information under this provision will be in accordance with AR 34021, paragraph 32.

(6) Criminal intelligence about an individual may be disseminated outside law enforcement channels only to those persons whose official duties create a definite and identifiable need for them to have access. Dissemination will be made to the minimum number of persons possible. All releases of information under this provision will be in accordance with AR 34021, paragraph 32.

l. The contents of Army investigative files will be restricted to information that is necessary and relevant to authorized criminal investigation and law enforcement information gathering activities. Off-Post Incidents. When a U.S. Army Soldier (or in cases outside the United States (not in contingency operation) when a DA Civilian in the scope of his duties, or while on Government time, or the immediate Family member of a U.S. Army Soldier) is identified as a suspect/subject for an off-post incident involving one of the following offenses: Death (less accidental and natural death, and fatal traffic accident (unless the driver of a Government vehicle is at fault)), all sexual assaults, kidnapping, forcible sodomy, aggravated arson, robbery of a business, and drug offense(s) and weapons theft/ smuggling, meeting the Serious and Sensitive Incident (SSI) reporting criteria as defined in CIDR 1951, or if a Soldier is the victim of a suspected suicide, coordination will be made with local law enforcement to conduct a joint investigation. If local law enforcement does not wish to participate in a joint investigation, CID elements will report the aforementioned investigation as a collateral investigation. Collateral ROIs (transmitting reports of criminal investigations received from civilian agencies) pertaining to other offenses within USACIDC normal investigative responsibility will be forwarded by provost marshals or security officers in accordance with AR 19045, chapter 4, to the U.S. Army Crime Records Center (USACRC). An information copy of the DA Form 3975, with the civilian police report as an enclosure, will be provided to the supporting USACIDC element to ensure the receipt of criminal information. When the overall interests of the Army would be best served, the USACIDC may assume collateral reporting responsibility for any particular off-post investigation by notifying the appropriate provost marshal or security officer.

## Chapter 2 U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command Organization

21. General a. The USACIDC is a direct reporting unit (DRU) of the Provost Marshal General (See AR 1087 and General Orders No. 22, 16 Oct 06). It is composed of a command headquarters, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL), the USACRC, and subordinate brigades down to detachments.

b. In non-tactical situations, each USACIDC unit is a tenant activity at an Army installation, providing investigative support to the installation commander as well as to the commanders of all other Army elements located within a USACIDC specified geographic area of responsibility. The commander or special agent-in-charge at each unit provides advice and guidance on all USACIDC matters to supported commanders and the installation law enforcement activity.

22. U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command support to the Army in the field a .  D u r i n g  t a c t i c a l  o p e r a t i o n s ,  f i e l d  e x e r c i s e s ,  a n d  i n  a c t i v e  t h e a t e r s  o f  o p e r a t i o n ,  t h e  C o m m a n d i n g  G e n e r a l , USACIDC, will provide USACIDC support to tactical units and their supporting elements. In accordance with AR 35028, paragraph 410, field exercise planners must coordinate with the supporting USACIDC unit to determine USACIDC participation.

b. The selection of the method of support will be coordinated between the appropriate USACIDC headquarters and the headquarters planning for the contingency or operation. The supporting USACIDC unit normally receives administrative and logistical combat support from the supported headquarters or the supporting combat support MP headquarters. The Commanding General, USACIDC, maintains command and control of USACIDC units. In all operations, criminal investigations will be conducted, prepared, administered, reported, and distributed in accordance with appropriate provisions of this regulation, and applicable USACIDC regulations and directives.

## Chapter 3 Criminal Investigation Activities Section I General

31. Investigative authority of the Army a. Investigative authority refers to matters for which the Army has the legal authority and jurisdiction to conduct a criminal investigation. Investigative responsibility refers to those matters within the Army's overall investigative authority which the USACIDC has responsibility to ensure are properly investigated.

b. The Army has investigative authority whenever an Army interest exists and investigative authority has not been specifically reserved to another agency (see AR 2710, chap 2; and the Memorandum of Understanding between the DOD and the DOJ relating to the Investigation and Prosecution of Certain Crimes, (DODI 5525.07)). Generally, an Army interest exists when one or more of the following apply:
(1) The crime is committed on a military installation or facility, or in an area under Army control. (2) There is a reasonable basis to believe that a suspect may be subject to the UCMJ. (3) There is a reasonable basis to believe that a suspect may be a civilian employee of the DOD or a DOD
contractor who has committed an offense in connection with his or her assigned contractual duties which adversely affects the Army.

(4) The Army is the victim of the crime; for example, the offense involves the loss or destruction of Government property or allegations of fraud (as defined in DOD/DOJ instructions concerning the criminal investigation of fraud offenses) relating to Army programs or personnel.

(5) There is a need to protect personnel, property, or activities on Army installations from criminal conduct on, or directed against, military installations that has a direct adverse effect on the Army's ability to accomplish its mission; for example, the introduction of controlled substances onto Army installations, acts of terrorism, and logistical security.

(6) In contingency operations there is a need to investigate crimes to establish law and order as identified by senior mission commander.

32. U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command investigative responsibility a. Inside the continental United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and possessions, the USACIDC
will normally exercise investigative responsibility for those offenses listed in appendix B and which are within the Army's investigative authority. However, when Federal, State, or local civil law enforcement authorities have concurrent jurisdiction, a joint investigative responsibility exists and the lead agency will be determined in coordination with that authority. When concurrent jurisdiction or authority to investigate exists and neither the Army nor the civil authorities accede to the other's primary responsibility to investigate, both may pursue the investigation in fulfillment of their respective interests, with neither impeding the other.

b. Outside CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories and possessions, the USACIDC will normally have investigative responsibility for those violations of the offenses listed in appendix B and for felony violations of extraterritorial federal criminal law and foreign criminal law that are within the Army's investigative authority. Investigations of foreign nationals known or suspected of committing criminal offenses against the Army may be undertaken for purposes of pursuing prosecution under foreign laws or civil, contractual or administrative remedies. These investigative responsibilities are subject to any limitations imposed by treaty or other international agreements such as a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) or by host country laws. In the absence of any agreement, the USACIDC will investigate offenses after coordination with appropriate host country authorities.

c. Deployment Considerations. In a deployed environment, USACIDC agents will generally encounter the following regarding foreign governments:
(1) Functioning government: When the U.S. Army is deployed to a foreign country which has an established and functioning government and law enforcement system (police, prosecutors, and judicial system), the following applies:
(a) Authority to investigate will normally be determined by international treaty or agreement (such as the SOFA), by the policies of the host government, or the U.S. Ambassador. The USACIDC will not conduct any investigations (however limited or preliminary in nature) in violation of such agreements or policies.

(b) The USACIDC will not normally conduct investigations concerning non-DOD affiliated civilians committing crimes on other non-DOD affiliated civilians or non-DOD affiliated equipment/supplies outside Army controlled property. If requested to conduct an investigation by a field grade officer or higher due to Army interest, USACIDC will conduct a joint investigation to the extent allowed by treaty or policy and local law enforcement authorities.

(c) When criminal incidents involve DOD affiliated personnel (military, civilian, or contractor) or DOD property outside of Army controlled property, the conduct of a joint investigation will be accomplished to the extent allowed by treaty or policy and local law enforcement authorities.

(d) When criminal incidents occur on Army controlled property (such as an installation, kaserne or camp), investigations will be conducted in accordance with this regulation and applicable USACIDC regulations and directives.

(e) The conduct of such investigations will follow any guidelines, notifications, or other limitations set forth by treaty or policy and local law enforcement authorities.

(2) Non-Functioning government: When the Army is deployed to a foreign country that has no established (or severely limited) functioning government and no law enforcement system (police, prosecutors and a judicial system), the following applies:
(a) Authority to investigate in this situation is usually determined by the Army's mission and the requests of the senior supported Army commander (or senior U.S. commander in joint operations). If the senior Army commander delegates an authority, USACIDC will respect requests from this commander's delegate. If the senior Army commander sets threshold criteria for investigations, USACIDC will respect those limitations. The USACIDC will not investigate outside the authority of the senior Army commander (or senior U.S. commander in joint operations).

(b) The USACIDC may conduct investigations concerning non-Army affiliated civilians committing crimes on other non-Army affiliated civilians or equipment/supplies outside of Army controlled property, if such investigations are requested by the senior U.S. supported commander or meet some predetermined threshold criteria established by the U.S. supported commander.

(c) When criminal incidents involve Army affiliated personnel (military, civilian or contractor) or Army property, the conduct of the investigation will be accomplished to the extent allowed by local environment and threat conditions.

(d) When criminal incidents involving anyone occur on actual Army controlled and occupied property (such as a base camp), investigations will be conducted in accordance with this regulation and CIDR 1951.

33. Investigative responsibility of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command and military police a. The USACIDC is solely responsible for investigating the criminal aspects of those Army related felonies
(offenses punishable by death or confinement for more than 1 year) listed in appendix B. Exceptions to this general policy are described in paragraphs a(1) through (13) and 34, below . Only CID special agents and other personnel assigned to or under the operational control of USACIDC are authorized to investigate felony crimes as delineated in this regulation. The CID special agents assigned outside of USACIDC are not authorized to conduct felony investigation and are limited to the duties for which they are assigned.

(1) Property-related offenses.

(a) The USACIDC is responsible for investigating property-related offenses (for example, stolen, destroyed, or damaged) when the fair market value of the property, as determined by AR 7355, appendix B, is $5,000 or more (except as listed in paras b and c, below, and app B) or when the property is of a sensitive nature (see app E). An investigation by the USACIDC is also required for purposes of determining criminal intent in the case of lost arms, ammunition, and explosives when the quantities involved meet the thresholds in AR 19011, paragraph 18 and appendix E. When no criminal intent is discovered, an initial/final report of investigation will be completed in accordance with applicable USACIDC regulations and directives. The installation law enforcement activity is responsible for investigating property-related offenses when the value is less than $5,000. When requested by a supported commander, the USACIDC may investigate property crimes of lesser value, such as a series of minor larcenies which appears to be the work of an organized group.

(b) The USACIDC will conduct investigations regarding the larceny of privately owned vehicles (to include bicycles, motorcycles, all terrain vehicles, and boats) when the current value is more than $30,000.

(c) The USACIDC will not investigate thefts of Common Table of Allowance (CTA)-50 items issued to individual Soldiers regardless of value.

(2) *Drug offenses.* The USACIDC has overall responsibility for offenses involving controlled substances. The installation law enforcement activity will investigate use, possession, and the positive urinalysis of non-narcotic controlled substances, such as marijuana, and controlled substances described in Schedules IV and V of the Controlled Substances Act, in amounts indicative only of personal use. The USACIDC investigates use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances described in Schedules I, II, and III of the Controlled Substances Act, excluding marijuana unless the quantity of marijuana is indicative of intent to distribute; and the manufacturing and distribution of all non-narcotic controlled substances. When appropriate, the investigation by a joint USACIDC/installation law enforcement team of all drug offenses on an installation is recommended. This can be accomplished with the primary investigative and reporting procedures of the installation law enforcement activity and USACIDC remaining unchanged. This approach fosters better coordination and is encouraged when deemed in the best interest of the overall drug suppression effort.

(3) *Misdemeanors.* A misdemeanor is any offense not punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; including violations of those provisions of state laws made applicable to U.S. military reservations. The USACIDC retains investigative responsibility of misdemeanor offenses only when they are committed in conjunction with another offense investigated by USACIDC.

(4) *Non-combat deaths.* The USACIDC is responsible for investigating non-combat deaths to the extent necessary to determine whether criminality is involved, with the exception of hospice deaths. Hospice deaths are considered attended deaths when the USACIDC element is notified of the hospice situation by a recognized hospice representative in advance of the death. If during the conduct of a preliminary investigation it is determined and verified that the death was a hospice death and the USACIDC was not notified in advance, the investigation will be terminated and a Serious or Sensitive Incident (SSI) only report will be generated without further investigation.

(5) *Military offenses.* Certain military offenses, such as misbehavior as a sentinel or disrespect, will not normally be investigated either by the USACIDC or the installation law enforcement activity; however, when the significance of the incident or the complexity of the facts dictate, the USACIDC or the military police may assume investigative responsibility.

(6) *War crimes.* The USACIDC is responsible for investigating suspected war crimes when a violation of 18 USC, the UCMJ, as listed in appendix B of this regulation, when a violation of the law of land warfare is indicated, or when otherwise directed by HQDA. This includes maltreatment or abuse of prisoners of war (POWs) or detainees when the alleged crime meets the USACIDC threshold as identified in appendix B.

(7) *Crimes affecting the U.S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard.* Crimes in which the USAR or ARNG
are affected by fraud, theft, diversion, or destruction of U.S. Government funds or property may be investigated by the USACIDC. Other cases affecting a U.S. Army interest may be investigated pursuant to instructions of the Commanding General, USACIDC. The USACIDC investigations involving members of the ARNG, when in active Federal service, as prescribed in 10 USC 802, will be reported to the appropriate state adjutant general. Cases involving USAR personnel not in active duty training or extended active duty training status at the time of the offense will be reported to the Commander, Reserve Command (Liaison Officer), 3d MP Group (CID), 4699 North 1st Street, Forest Park, GA 302975119.

(8) *Adult private consensual sexual misconduct.* The adult private consensual sexual misconduct (APCSM) or
"Sexual Misconduct" is a sexual act or acts in violation of the UCMJ, which occur between consenting adults, in private, whether on or off the installation, such as adultery, consensual sodomy, and indecent acts. The USACIDC or installation law enforcement activity will not investigate adultery when that is the sole offense. The USACIDC and the installation law enforcement activity will not normally initiate an investigation into adult private consensual misconduct where such misconduct is the only offense involved. The offenses will be reported to the appropriate commander. The APCSM will only be investigated by USACIDC when aggravating circumstances exist; and only if approved by the Commanding General, USACIDC. The USACIDC and the installation law enforcement activity will not conduct investigations into a Soldier's sexual preference or orientation. These allegations will be referred to the Soldier's chain of command.

(9) *Fraternization.* Will not normally be investigated by either the USACIDC or installation law enforcement activity when this is the only offense. The offense will be reported by the installation law enforcement activity, using DA Form 3975, through command channels to the appropriate commander.

(10) *Offenses involving senior personnel.* Whenever an allegation of criminality or impropriety against senior personnel is received, HQ, USACIDC, G3, will be notified immediately by the most expeditious means (for example, telephone, e-mail or fax) of the allegation(s). Senior personnel are general or flag officers on active duty or retired; a member (or retired) of a Reserve Component or National Guard; a general officer designee (promotable O6); a DOD civilian in the grade of Senior Executive Service, or higher; or other personnel of equivalent rank who occupy a key position as designated by an appropriate commander. A determination will be made at HQ, USACIDC if it is a USACIDC or DAIG responsibility to investigate the allegation. Other offenses involving these personnel as subjects, without regard for the limitations imposed in appendix B, may be investigated by the USACIDC if the sensitivity of the incident or complexity of the matter so dictates. The notification procedure identified above will be followed.

(11) *Aggravated assaults.* The USACIDC is responsible for investigating aggravated assaults which result in the victim being hospitalized for treatment (not mere observation) for a period of more than 24 hours. All other aggravated assaults will be investigated by the installation law enforcement activity.

(12) *Misuse of government computers.* The USACIDC will not routinely investigate allegations of the misuse of government computers. Misuse as part of a personal business venture may fall under other violations investigated by USACIDC. The USACIDC retains primary investigative jurisdiction over incidents involving child pornography, and unauthorized access and/or intrusions into Army interest computers.

(13) *Violations of general regulations.* The USACIDC will investigate these offenses only when the regulation violated is punitive in nature and the underlying offense is, in itself, a felony crime by statute such as currency violations and certain black-market offenses as listed in appendix B.

b. The USACIDC may conduct a preliminary investigation as required to determine whether the USACIDC has investigative authority or responsibility or whether there is an Army interest in the matter. If the preliminary investigation reveals that one or more of the foregoing is lacking, the matter will be referred to the appropriate action agency.

34. Assumption of investigative responsibility by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command The USACIDC may assume responsibility for investigating any criminal offense within the investigative authority of the Army when appropriate to a related investigation or to further the law enforcement or crime prevention goals of the Army. When the USACIDC assumes control of an investigation from the installation law enforcement activity and initiates an ROI, the investigation will be carried through to conclusion by the USACIDC unless otherwise specified in paragraph 36 of this regulation. Conducting a preliminary investigation does not presuppose assuming control of an investigation.

35. Agreements between the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command and installation law enforcement activities Modification of investigative responsibility by mutual agreement is not authorized at local, Army Service Component Command, DRU, or ACOM levels. Memoranda of understanding establishing drug or other crime suppression teams and delineating their logistical and administrative support are authorized.

36. Referral of investigations For some criminal offenses within the USACIDC investigative responsibility, another agency may have primary responsibility to investigate. In such cases, the other agency will be promptly informed of the allegation and, if the other agency assumes the responsibility to investigate the case, it may be referred to that agency. The USACIDC field element will submit a report of investigation reflecting the conduct of the investigation to date and a statement that the other agency has assumed responsibility for the investigation. If the other agency ceases the development or completion of investigative leads, the USACIDC may conduct further investigation, provided the other agency presents no valid objections. If the other agency declines to investigate, the USACIDC may conduct the investigation.

37. Army Substance Abuse Program In compliance with the Army's Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP) policy, the USACIDC will investigate participants in the ASAP for controlled substance offenses only if the offense occurred after entry into the program or if the participant had been identified as a suspect or subject prior to the time of entry into the program. Participants in ASAP will not be knowingly approached by the USACIDC special agents, installation law enforcement activities, or other investigative personnel for the purpose of soliciting information about controlled substances or distribution, unless the participant voluntarily offers to provide such information. If the ASAP participant volunteers the information, it will not be obtained in the ASAP facility or in such a manner as to jeopardize the safety of the sources of information or compromise the confidentiality and credibility of the ASAP. The USACIDC special agents, installation law enforcement activities and other investigative personnel will not enroll in or infiltrate the ASAP treatment program for the purpose of law enforcement activities (See AR 60085, para 131n).

38. Immigration Customs Enforcement and postal matters a. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) and postal authorities periodically find unauthorized material (for example, contraband, explosives, ammunition, unauthorized or illegal weapons, or illegal drugs).

b. When notified by ICE or the U.S. Postal Service of unauthorized material discovered in the mail system or in transit from theater of operations during an ICE inspection, a joint investigation may be conducted.

c. When requested, USACIDC special agents or military police will receive as evidence such confiscated U.S.

Government property. Such property will be returned to Government supply channels when no longer required for evidentiary purposes.

d. Recovery of weapons, ammunition, and explosives will be reported by the Army installation element to which the item(s) are assigned in accordance with AR 19011, paragraph 82.

e. The USACIDC will investigate such incidents when appropriate and in conformance with this regulation, and guidance issued by the Commanding General, USACIDC.

## Section Ii Crime Prevention Surveys, Protective Services, And Procurement Fraud Program

39. Crime prevention surveys The USACIDC conducts crime prevention surveys to support commanders within the context of the Army Crime Prevention Program. Crime prevention surveys may be initiated by the USACIDC element commander or may be conducted in response to a request by the supported commander.

310. Protective services The USACIDC plans for and conducts protective service operations generally using methods, procedures, and equipment similar to those of the United States Secret Service. When conducting such operations, USACIDC personnel will be provided logistical, administrative, and personnel support from U.S. Army elements as required to accomplish its mission.

311. Procurement Fraud Program As part of the overall mission to investigate felony crimes in which there is an Army interest as prescribed in this regulation and AR 1087, chapter 17, USACIDC is responsible for investigating procurement fraud and corruption. Evidence gathered during these investigations is used in criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings.

## Section Iii Operational Considerations

312. Freedom of movement a. During the course of a criminal investigation, USACIDC special agents or supervisors are authorized freedom of movement between geographical areas of responsibility.

b. All USACIDC personnel must obtain special area, country and/or theater clearance for any travel outside the United States, its territories, and possessions. In some cases all, one or more, or none of these clearances may be required. The individual country pages listed in the DOD Foreign Clearance Guide (FCG) General Information Booklet (DOD Guide 4500.54G) should be consulted when planning to travel. The lead time for requesting travel clearances varies with each individual country, so the FCG should be reviewed during initial travel planning.

c. Accredited USACIDC supervisors and special agents may obtain official U.S. passports through their servicing passport control office, military personnel section. Item 12 of the DD Form 1056 (Authorization to Apply for a "No- Fee" Passport and/or Request for VISA), accompanying each application will show the special assignment code of "USACIDC." Item 11 may be left blank. Item 7 must show the special agent's military rank, general schedule grade, or National Security Personnel System pay band.

d. The USACIDC offices and facilities will not be shared with other units under any circumstances.

313. Crime scenes The control and processing of a crime scene and the collection and preservation of the evidence found at the scene are the exclusive responsibilities of the USACIDC special agent or supervisor in charge of the crime scene when the USACIDC has investigative responsibility. To prevent the possible loss or destruction of evidence, the USACIDC special agent or supervisor in charge of the crime scene is authorized to exclude all personnel from the scene. The exercise of this authority in a particular case may be subject to the requirement to preserve human life and the requirement for continuing necessary operations and security. This should be determined in conjunction with the appropriate commander and, where applicable, local host country law enforcement authorities.

314. Coordination a. General. All USACIDC elements will establish liaison with the headquarters responsible for the installation, activity, or area supported. Commanders and provost marshals or security officers will be kept informed of the status of criminal investigations and crime prevention surveys in which they have an interest. If the release of this information would prejudice the successful completion of any investigation or survey, this coordination may be delayed or withheld up to and including the level of commanders of ACOMs. When such a release of information is withheld or delayed as determined by the USACIDC detachment commander or special agent-in-charge, the USACIDC element will inform the HQ USACIDC, Investigative Operations Division, and the USACIDC battalion and the group headquarters. The withholding or delay of the release of such information to commanders of ACOMs requires approval of the Commanding General, USACIDC, who will inform the Chief of Staff of the Army or the Secretary of the Army of the intention to delay or withhold the release.

b. Other services. The USACIDC element will promptly notify the appropriate headquarters of another military service of any known or suspected crime for which the USACIDC has investigative responsibility in which the personnel or property of the other service are involved. Upon request from the headquarters having jurisdiction over the personnel or property concerned, an investigation may be made by the USACIDC. In crimes involving both Army personnel and personnel of another service, local coordination of the investigation with that service's criminal investigative agency will be accomplished by the USACIDC element concerned.

c. Release of derogatory information. Derogatory information that mentions or can be tied to particular individuals will be released only to those persons whose official duties create a definite need to have access to the information. Derogatory information will not be released outside of the DOD except as authorized by 5 USC 552a and AR 34021, paragraph 32.

315. Access to Army facilities and records a. The USACIDC special agents, military police investigators (MPI) and DA civilian (DAC) detectives will be granted access to all Army facilities and records when necessary for criminal investigations, protective service missions, or crime prevention surveys, when access is consistent with the provisions of applicable laws governing such access.

b. The AR 4066, chapter 2, and DOD Regulation 6025.18R, section C7.6, describe policy and procedures to be used by USACIDC special agents, MPI, and DAC Detectives to gain access to information in medical records when conducting official investigations. Authorization for access to information is authorization to make extracts or transcripts, for official purposes only, of specific information obtained by the custodian from medical records. The medical records will remain under the control of the records custodian who will make either the records or legible certified copies available for judicial, non-judicial, or administrative proceedings.

316. Security clearances and background investigations a. All accredited USACIDC special agents and supervisors are required to have a top secret clearance based on a single scope background investigation, in accordance with DOD Regulation 5200.2R, paragraph C3.6.10, and AR 38067, paragraph 3609.

b. Any USACIDC personnel who have access to investigative records or files are required to have a single scope background investigation, for suitability purposes only, in accordance with DOD Regulation 5200.2R, paragraph C3.6.10, and AR 38067, paragraph 3609.

317. U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command use of the National Crime Information Center a. All USACIDC elements within CONUS will make maximum use of the National Crime Information Center
(NCIC). The USACIDC terminal is located at the USACRC; however, terminals located at CONUS installations are available for use by USACIDC personnel as specified in AR 19045, chapters 13 and 14. Coordination with the installation law enforcement activity is encouraged.

b. The use of the NCIC will be in accordance with AR 19045, chapters 13 and 14, and the operating instructions of the FBI. The Commanding General, USACIDC will issue appropriate instructions for use of the NCIC by USACIDC elements.

c. Data to be entered into the NCIC through the terminals located at CONUS installations will include information pertaining to stolen Government or private property, a theft of which is investigated by the USACIDC and which meets the criteria established by the FBI for entry into the system. Information pertaining to absentees or deserters whose personal identifiers have already been entered by the U.S. Army Deserter Information Point (USADIP) will be entered t h r o u g h  t h e  U S A C I D C  t e r m i n a l  a t  t h e  U S A C R C ,  i f  t h e y  h a v e  b e c o m e  s u s p e c t s  o r  s u b j e c t s  i n  a  U S A C I D C
investigation.

d. The USACRC enters stolen property and weapon reports for installation law enforcement activities in overseas locations as specified in AR 19045, paragraph 143. The USACRC will conduct NCIC inquiries for USACIDC special agents in support of criminal investigations or related inquiries for elements in overseas locations, based on a request from the individual USACIDC element.

e. The USACIDC and USADIP will establish liaison to ensure timely exchange of information on matters pertaining to absentees and deserters. The USACRC will provide USADIP with the names of those Army deserters in whom the USACIDC has an interest. The USADIP will ensure that notification of apprehension or inquiries from civil law enforcement authorities on subjects of USACIDC investigations are transmitted to the USACRC by the most expeditious means. The USACIDC will ensure that timely notification of a cancellation of interest in an absentee or deserter, previously listed in the wanted file, is provided to the USADIP and entered into the NCIC immediately.

318. Warning of rights Prior to any questioning, all persons subject to the UCMJ who are reasonably suspected of a criminal offense must be properly advised of their rights in accordance with Article 31, UCMJ, and Military Rule of Evidence (MRE) 305, Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM). U.S. civilian subjects, not otherwise subject to the UCMJ, will be warned in accordance with current Federal law. Generally, Federal law requires that civilians be advised of their Constitutional rights only in those circumstances amounting to a "custodial interrogation." During wartime and contingency operations, or in other circumstances determined by the President of the United States, civilians may be subject to the UCMJ in accordance with Article 2, UCMJ. Under those circumstances, Article 31 would apply and would require the appropriate rights warning.

## Section Iv U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Command Special Agents

319. General a. All USACIDC special agents are authorized to enforce the criminal laws of the United States concerning any offense over which the Army has investigative authority. Nothing in this regulation purports to authorize any action that would constitute a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act (18 USC 1385).

b. All USACIDC special agents (military and civilian) are recognized as Federal agents (law enforcement) under Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 60.3a(2) (28 CFR 60.3a(2)).

320. Utilization a. The USACIDC special agents will not be assigned to other than criminal investigative duties without prior approval of the Commanding General, USACIDC. The USACIDC special agents or supervisory personnel will not be assigned duties such as post or staff duty officer, military police duty officer, casualty assistance officer, membership on boards (except boards considering applicants for appointment as warrant officers in MOS 311A, promotion boards, or reclassification boards requiring a member knowledgeable of duties required of USACIDC personnel). This does not preclude the performance by USACIDC special agents or supervisors of those additional duties assigned by, and performed within, the USACIDC unit. The USACIDC special agents and U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL) personnel will not be assigned to defense counsels to serve as a member of the defense team or as an expert witness for the defense.

b. When the interests of effective law enforcement require special expertise or technical assistance, the Commanding General, USACIDC, may authorize civilian or military personnel of the U.S. Army to assist in criminal investigations and to perform other USACIDC related duties, to include administering oaths.

c. The USACIDC special agents and certified polygraph examiners may perform all the requirements of their respective duty positions without regard to whether they hold military or civilian status.

321. Authority to apprehend or detain a. Pursuant to Rules for Courts-Martial (R.C.M) 302, MCM, U.S., UCMJ, and Article 7 (10 USC 807); USACIDC
special agents are authorized to apprehend any person subject to the UCMJ, regardless of location, if there is probable cause to believe that person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a criminal offense punishable by courts-martial. In affecting apprehensions, such force as may be reasonably necessary, as specified in AR 19014, chapter 3, may be used. Apprehensions to be made in private dwellings, on or off a military installation, will be accomplished in accordance with the procedures specified in R.C. M. 302 (e)(2). All USACIDC special agents are also authorized to conduct investigative stops of any person subject to the UCMJ, regardless of location, if there is an intelligible and reasonable belief the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a criminal offense.

b. All USACIDC special agents are authorized to apprehend civilian personnel on military installations, facilities, National defense areas (50 USC 797), or areas under military administration when there is probable cause to believe that person has committed an offense cognizable under the criminal laws of the United States to include offenses assimilated from State law, in areas of exclusive Federal, concurrent Federal-state or proprietary Federal jurisdiction. Such persons will be held only until they can be released to an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, or to civilian authorities in accordance with local procedures.

c. No military USACIDC special agents, in their official capacity, have authority to arrest, with or without an arrest warrant, civilians outside the limits of a military installation. When such an arrest is necessary in the conduct of a USACIDC investigation, an arrest warrant must be obtained and executed by a civil law enforcement officer with statutory arrest authority or a civilian USACIDC Special Agent. The USACIDC special agents may accompany the arresting civil law enforcement official for purposes of identifying the person to be arrested and providing backup assistance.

d. In accordance with 10 USC 4027, the Secretary of the Army, in conjunction with the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General, has granted USACIDC civilian special agents statutory arrest authority enabling them to execute and serve arrest warrants, and arrest any person without a warrant off DOD Controlled Property in the United States under specified circumstances. This authority will be exercised under the guidelines that the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General approved in November 2005.

e. The USACIDC military and civilian special agents are authorized to make arrests under the MEJA, outside the United States for offenses subject to prosecution under the MEJA (18 USC 3261 and DODI 5525.11).

f. Personnel apprehended by USACIDC special agents will be released to civil or installation law enforcement, as appropriate, for confinement or detention. Confinement or detention in military facilities will be in accordance with AR
19047, chapter 3. Nothing in this regulation is intended to restrict the inherent authority of military commanders to maintain law and order on the installation for which they are responsible or to restrict the personal authority of special agents under various state laws concerning citizen's arrest.

322. Authority to search and seize a. Searches and seizures within the confines of a U.S. military installation will be conducted in accordance with the Military Rules of Evidence (MRE), MCM, U.S.; or other applicable law.

b. All USACIDC special agents are authorized to seek a search warrant from a civil (state and Federal) magistrate or judge, and, if issued, to execute the search warrant outside of a military installation. This authority is granted under the provisions of Rule 41, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (FRCP), and 28 CFR 60, and Executive Order 12473 (MCM, U.S.), RCM 302(b) and MRE 315 and pertains to those offenses within the investigative authority of the Army over which the USACIDC has assumed investigative responsibility. When executing such a search warrant, military USACIDC special agents will be accompanied by a civil law enforcement officer having statutory arrest authority or a civilian USACIDC special agent.

323. Authority to administer oaths The USACIDC special agents, and other personnel designated in accordance with paragraph 320b, above, are authorized to administer oaths under the provisions of 10 USC 936 for military investigative personnel and 5 USC 303, for civilian investigative personnel.

324. Firearms a. The USACIDC special agents are authorized to carry concealed weapons in accordance with instructions issued by the Commanding General, USACIDC, and AR 19014, paragraph 28. Any weapon lost, stolen, or unaccounted for will be reported immediately to Commanding General, USACIDC (CIOPCOP).

b. Unless authorized by the Commanding General, USACIDC, or the commander's designated representative, only government issued and acquired weapons and ammunition will be utilized. The use of personally owned weapons and ammunition for official duties (other than officially sanctioned marksmanship competition) is prohibited.

325. Civilian clothing a. Unless precluded by theater requirements, (for example, combat operations), or when directed otherwise by a USACIDC unit commander, USACIDC special agents may wear civilian clothing in the performance of their duties, to include permanent change of station travel to a new duty station. The USACIDC supervisors may also wear civilian clothing when appropriate for mission accomplishment. Civilian clothing allowances for USACIDC special agents may be obtained in accordance with AR 70084, paragraph 82a(9).

b. The USACIDC special agents and supervisors may obtain non-standard spectacle frames in accordance with AR
4063.

c. The personal appearance standards of AR 6701 may be waived by USACIDC supervisors for USACIDC special agents and other personnel attached for investigative duties.

326. Billets and messes a. Enlisted USACIDC special agents and laboratory examiners must be billeted with other USACIDC personnel in facilities separate from other Soldiers, or in senior bachelor enlisted or bachelor officer quarters. If a lack of suitable facilities precludes this policy, USACIDC special agents will be provided statements of non-availability to support claims for basic allowance for housing (BAH) or per diem, as appropriate (AR 4201).

b. The USACIDC unit administrative personnel will be billeted with USACIDC personnel or with military police personnel. Alternate billeting arrangements may be provided when it is determined that the USACIDC mission will not be adversely affected. If a lack of suitable facilities precludes this policy, administrative personnel will be provided statements of non-availability to support claims for BAH (AR 4201).

c. The policy in paragraphs a and b, above, does not apply when law enforcement personnel are billeted as a unit during combat operations, or field exercises, or other training periods. Housing policy for non-law enforcement type personnel prevails during these periods.

d. Enlisted USACIDC special agents will be authorized basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) under the provisions of the DOD Military Pay and Allowances Manual, chapter 1, part 3.

e. The above provisions do not apply in overseas areas not authorized BAH and BAS.

327. Disclosure of rank or grade a. The USACIDC special agents conducting USACIDC investigation activities are not required to reveal their military or civilian rank, grade, or position other than as "CID Special Agent." Their status as members of the U.S. Army or as a USACIDC special agent may also be concealed if such concealment is in the interest of effective law enforcement.

b. The USACIDC special agents will include their military or civilian rank or grade in signing all correspondence except USACIDC ROIs and documents related thereto.

c. The USACIDC special agents may wear the "U.S." insignia in lieu of insignia of rank when wearing field uniforms.

d. Civilian USACIDC special agents, as directed by the Commanding General, USACIDC, may wear the field uniform in a combat environment or military operations other than war in the manner described in AR 6701.

328.

## Section V U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command Drug Suppression Operations In Foreign Countries

330. Purpose This section sets forth Army policy for all USACIDC drug suppression operations conducted outside the U.S. and its possessions. It applies to all levels of drug suppression operations, whether conducted on or off a military installation and whether or not conducted in conjunction with other U.S. or non-United States law enforcement agencies.

331. Definitions a. Level One Operations are those operations conducted only in overseas areas and using agents in an undercover role intended to identify high level traffickers of narcotics and dangerous drugs and to intercept controlled substances destined for resale and/or use by U.S. Armed Forces personnel.

b. Level Two Operations are those drug suppression operations conducted by special agents assigned to local USACIDC units and drug suppression team personnel operating in a semi-undercover capacity with the mission of identifying traffickers, wholesale or retail, who operate on or close to installations or areas where U.S. Armed Forces personnel are stationed and/or who sell directly to U.S. Armed Forces personnel.

c. Level Three Operations are those drug suppression operations conducted by special agents assigned to the local USACIDC units who operate in an overt manner investigating reported or detected controlled substance violations by members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Level Three Operations are also conducted by MP/MPI/DAC Police/Detectives assigned to the installation law enforcement activity. The term U.S. Armed Forces personnel includes all employees, military or civilian, of the DOD and the family members of such persons, except where the term is more narrowly defined by provision of applicable treaties or international agreements, in which case that definition will apply.

332. Policy considerations Individuals in charge of USACIDC drug suppression operations and the approving authorities set forth in paragraph 333, below, will ensure that all operations are conducted in accordance with the following policy considerations.

a. The objective of USACIDC drug suppression operations is to support Army commanders by limiting the use or possession of illegal drugs by U.S. Armed Forces personnel and by interdicting the supply of illegal drugs directed to such persons. Drug suppression operations will be conducted only to the extent necessary to achieve this objective and only when resources from other U.S. and non-U.S. law enforcement agencies are not available or cannot be used due to prevailing operational conditions or necessities. A particular drug operation should not be conducted unless there is an identifiable connection between the drug traffickers being investigated and U.S. Armed Forces personnel. Such connection is present only if the traffickers are known or suspected to have had recent drug transactions with U.S. Armed Forces personnel or if the traffickers distribute in an area where experience indicates a substantial portion of the available drug supply is obtained by U.S. Armed Forces personnel. The general scope of drug suppression operations should be coordinated with the supporting staff judge advocate when the operation may have significant impact on non-military personnel.

b. Level One Operations will be conducted only as necessary in light of the following factors: (1) The connection of the drug trafficking activities and lines of distribution to the supply of illegal drugs available to U.S. Armed Forces personnel.

(2) The resources available to the USACIDC to support the operation.

(3) The political effect of a refusal to support a foreign government in a combined operation that has an impact on U.S. Armed Forces.

(4) The effect on relations with foreign law enforcement agencies of providing or failing to provide requested assistance.

(5) The potential effect on U.S. Armed Forces should the drug trafficker be successful despite efforts of foreign law enforcement agencies or other U.S. law enforcement agencies.

c. Level One and, to a lesser extent, Level Two Operations can adversely impact U.S. relations with other countries.

Hence, diplomatic and political considerations must always be taken into account. Questions as to the foreign relations impact of drug suppression operations should be referred to the U.S. Embassy Narcotics Coordinator as set forth in paragraph 333a, below.

d. To the extent necessary to accomplish the drug suppression objective stated in paragraph a, above, the USACIDC
should maintain relations with other U.S. and non-U.S. police organizations and participate in the exchange of law enforcement information and support to assist investigative goals.

e. All drug enforcement operations in foreign countries will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of SOFA or other international agreements.

f. The USACIDC drug suppression operations overseas represent an effort to counter a significant threat to the health, welfare, morale, and readiness of the Army. In view of the significant Army interest involved, USACIDC narcotics control efforts are generally within the usual SOFA arrangements. However, if any USACIDC investigative activity is outside the authority of such provisions (for example, a host country law enforcement agency requests USACIDC interpreter assistance in a narcotics case having no military interest) the International Narcotics Control Section of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 applies. Therefore, when the action to be taken is not within a SOFA arrangement, no USACIDC or other Army personnel or employee may "engage or participate in any direct police arrest action in any foreign country" or "interrogate or be present during the interrogation of any U.S. person arrested in a foreign country with respect to narcotics control efforts without the written consent of such person" (22 USC 2291(c)).

333. Approvals and coordination All USACIDC drug suppression operations will be conducted in accordance with the following provisions:
a. Embassy narcotics coordinators. The general scope of all levels of operations in a foreign country must be fully coordinated with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) representative and approved by the U.S. Embassy Narcotics Coordinator to ensure compliance with U.S. Embassy policy. In addition, prior case-by-case approval by the Embassy Narcotics Coordinator is required for all Level One Operations. Approval in individual cases will be obtained by the USACIDC group commander before seeking DA and DOD approval. In approving cases, the embassy narcotics coordinator will confirm with the DEA representative that DEA is unable to provide necessary investigative resources. The embassy narcotics coordinator should be contacted regarding Level Two or Three operations if it appears at any time before or during an operation that the operation may adversely affect U.S. foreign relations.

b. Foreign governments. Level one and significant off-post Level Two drug suppression operations will be conducted only if, and to the extent requested by, the host country police agency and with the knowledge and concurrence of an appropriate agency in the government of that country. However, in countries where an agreement giving prior approval to such operations is in effect, the operations may be conducted as prescribed by the agreement.

c. Commanders of Army component commands. Must approve all Level One Operations on a case-by-case basis.

The USACIDC group commander must obtain this approval prior to seeking DA or DOD approval.

d. Department of the Army and Department of Defense. All Level One Operations will be approved on a case-bycase basis by DA and DOD. Requests for approval should be forwarded through USACIDC command channels to the Office of the Army General Counsel. The DA and DOD approval is also necessary prior to the initial commencement of level One Operations in a country. In all cases approved by DA and DOD, the USACIDC will provide periodic follow-up reports explaining the extent and results of off-post activities and all other significant aspects of the approved operations.

## Section Vi U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command Support To The Army And Air Force Exchange System

334. Purpose This section sets forth Army policy to support AAFES with criminal investigations and law enforcement functions in conjunction with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).

d. Any major disagreement regarding the conduct of AAFES investigations will be resolved between the Commander, AFOSI, and the Commander, USACIDC or the Chief, Law Enforcement Division, Office of the Provost Marshal General, HQDA, if involving installation law enforcement.

337. Army law enforcement responsibilities The AAFES may be investigated by the USACIDC or installation law enforcement as determined by appendix B. Army law enforcement elements are responsible for conducting all investigations concerning:
a. Exchange facilities, offices, or activities located on Army installations. Procurement and contract fraud investigations at HQ AAFES, Exchange System, and exchange Region headquarters located on Army installations may be investigated jointly, although primary responsibility remains with AFOSI.

b. Exchange facilities, offices, or activities not located on installations of either the Air Force or the Army but primarily serving Army personnel or installation.

c. Other exchange facilities as agreed on between AFOSI, USACIDC and the Office of the Provost Marshal General. The Chief, Law Enforcement Division, Office of the Provost Marshal General, HQDA is the responsible official for coordinating matters related to installation law enforcement support to AAFES.

338. General guidelines on types of crimes The following crimes are particularly applicable to the activity of AAFES and should be referred for investigation in accordance with appendix B:
a. Fraud.

(1) The AAFES should refer to Army law enforcement elements any manipulation or alteration of records to perpetrate a fraud affecting only one local exchange facility.

(2) The AAFES should refer to AFOSI all complaints involving the centralized procurement of goods, services, or concession contracts affecting the AAFES system. Joint investigation may be conducted when the offense occurs on Army installations.

b. Pilferage. Promptly refer to Army law enforcement elements for investigative determination of any loss strongly suspected as pilferage by AAFES employees.

c. Break-ins. The AAFES will refer to Army law enforcement elements all housebreaking of exchange facilities and warehouses. Usually, this type of offense necessitates a crime scene search requiring investigative expertise.

d. Bad checks.

(1) *Insufficient funds.* The AAFES usually administratively processes insufficient funds and checks bearing the true name of the maker.

(2) *Forgery.* The AAFES will refer to Army law enforcement elements checks not bearing the true name of the maker.

f. Shoplifting. The AAFES Safety and Security personnel must report incidents of shoplifting to the installation law enforcement activity for investigation. Under extraordinary circumstances or when specialized investigative techniques are required, complaints of shoplifting may be investigated by USACIDC. For example, specialized techniques may be required when systematic, undetected shoplifting is apparent and professional criminal activity is suspected.

g. Misuse of exchange privileges. The AAFES will refer misuse of exchange privileges to Army law enforcement elements only if misuse indicates exploitation for commercial purposes or, in overseas areas, for black-marketing or customs violations.

h. Other violations. In overseas areas, AAFES will refer to Army law enforcement elements other violations involving AAFES matters or facilities committed to the extent or degree indicative of professional criminal activity such as: theft of goods in transport, customs violations, black-marketing, counterfeiting, and currency manipulations.

Release is authorized when it conforms with this regulation, AR 19045, AR 1956, AR 34021, and policy on external agency information, as applicable.

c. Distribution. Routine distribution for final USACIDC and MPI ROIs will be as follows:
(1) Routine distribution within DOD, but external to USACIDC, of final USACIDC ROIs will be through the next higher field grade commander to the commander responsible for initiation of disciplinary or corrective action. Copies will also be provided to the staff judge advocate supporting the action commander, the installation law enforcement activity responsible for law enforcement in the area in which the incident occurred, and as further directed by the Commanding General, USACIDC. Classified ROIs will not be distributed routinely. Classified information will be distributed in accordance with AR 3805, chapter 2.

(2) Routine distribution within DOD, but external to the installation law enforcement activity, of final MPI ROIs will be in accordance with AR 19045, chapter 3.

(3) Disclosures outside DOD, under the authority of this paragraph, must be accounted for in accordance with appropriate USACIDC and MP regulations.

(4) When the disclosure of a USACIDC investigation presents a threat of the possible compromise of an operation or investigation, USACIDC may restrict distribution of the report(s) to USACIDC channels only. The decision for limited distribution will be an operational determination based on the facts of each case. Once the potential for compromise no longer exists, the restriction will be lifted and a status report dispatched to all parties requiring notification.

d. Law enforcement criminal intelligence exchange.

(1) Disclosure of criminal intelligence originated or maintained by the USACIDC may be made to any federal, state, local, or foreign law enforcement agency that has an investigative or law enforcement interest in the matter disclosed, provided the disclosure is not in contravention of any law, regulation, or directive, as applied to law enforcement activities. Disclosures under this paragraph to a non-DOD law enforcement element are a routine use under the Privacy Act and must be accounted for in accordance with AR 34021, paragraph 34.

(c) To other persons as required or authorized by law (for example, parents, pursuant to the Juvenile Justice Act of
1992 and 18 USC 5033).

(2) The fact that the individual to whom the information pertains has become an adult does not alter the protection provided juvenile records. The USACIDC reports pertaining to juvenile subjects, suspects, or victims will be marked so that they are readily identifiable as juvenile records when filed with other records. This requirement also applies when automated indexing of juvenile records is utilized.

(3) Any order from a Federal or state court of competent jurisdiction directing the sealing of juvenile records or juvenile court proceedings will be attached to the file at the local level and, if appropriate, at the USACRC. When it appears that the terms of a court order or statute pertaining to the sealing of juvenile records or court proceedings restrict DOD use of records remaining in the custody of the USACIDC, clarification or guidance must be obtained from the Commanding General, USACIDC (CIJAZA), 6010 6th Street, Fort Belvoir, VA 220605506.

The burden of proof to substantiate the request rests with the individual. Requests to delete a person's name from the title block will be granted if it is determined that credible information did not exist to believe that the individual committed the offense for which titled as a subject at the time the investigation was initiated, or the wrong person's name has been entered as a result of mistaken identity. The decision to list a person's name in the title block of a USACIDC ROI is an investigative determination that is independent of judicial, non-judicial, or administrative action taken against the individual or the results of such action. Within these parameters, the decision to make any changes in the report rests within the sole discretion of the Commanding General, USACIDC. The decision will constitute final action on behalf of the Secretary of the Army with respect to requests for amendment under this regulation.

c. Submission of requests. Requests for access to, or amendment of, USACIDC investigative reports will be f o r w a r d e d  t o  t h e  D i r e c t o r ,  U . S .

61. General The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory (USACIL) provides forensic laboratory assistance to U.S. Army investigative elements, other DOD investigative agencies, and Federal law enforcement agencies as appropriate.

62. Responsibilities The Commanding General, USACIDC, is responsible for policies and procedures concerning the quality control and technical proficiency in USACIL operations, and training laboratory examiners.

63. Request for examination a. All requests for laboratory examination will be forwarded to the Director, U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory, 4930 N. 31st Street, Forest Park, GA 302975205, in accordance with AR 1955, unless an exception is granted by the Director, USACIL.

b. Evaluation of materials in investigations involving allegations of product substitution may require unique testing procedures beyond the capabilities of the USACIL. In these cases, DA components with appropriate testing capabilities will, upon request of the investigating USACIDC element, provide testing support necessary to completely identify the defective nature of substituted products. Costs associated with such tests, whether provided by an Army, DOD, or commercial testing facility, will be assumed by the procurement program involved in the investigation.

c. Requests for examinations not conducted internally by the USACIL (that is, outside the scope of traditional criminalistics disciplines) should be coordinated through the USACIL prior to submission.

d. The USACIL will not re-examine evidence which has been previously examined at the USACIL in the same forensic discipline or has been examined in the same forensic discipline by another laboratory. Exceptions are as follows:
(1) When ordered to do so by a court of competent authority
(2) The USACIL has more exacting and sophisticated equipment or techniques for the examination, which could significantly improve the reliability of the findings, as determined by the Director, USACIL.

64. Court appearance a. If temporary duty travel is involved, the appearance of laboratory examiners at a legal proceeding will, to the extent practicable, be requested by memorandum or electrical message to reach the Director, USACIL, at least 10 working days prior to the requested appearance date. This lead-time is necessary to avoid conflicts with other commitments and to allow time for administrative processing and court preparation. The request will include at a minimum:
(1) The USACIL referral number (from laboratory report). (2) Name of the accused. (3) Examiner(s) completing the examination(s). (4) Date, time, place, and to whom the examiner is to report. (5) Number of days temporary duty is required. (6) The DOD fund cite for travel and per diem. The examiner is not committed to the request for appearance at a legal proceeding until the USACIL receives the fund cite.

b. The Director, USACIL, will have appropriate orders published. If an examiner is not available, the Director, USACIL, will notify the requester by return message explaining the reason for the non-availability of the witness, such as a conflict with another court appearance, and give the exact dates that the witness will be available.

c. When the presence of an examiner is desired for trial, the examiner should be requested to appear the day the examiner is expected to testify, rather than the day the trial is to begin. This will assist in reducing, to a minimum, the examiner's absence from the laboratory. Additionally, the examiner should be released, in order to return to the USACIL, as soon after testifying as permitted.

d. Unless otherwise approved by the Director, USACIL, examiners will not be made available as expert witnesses to provide testimony contradicting results of laboratory examinations conducted by other USACIL examiners. Similarly, USACIL examiners will not be made available as consultants to defense counsels.

e. The USACIL examiners will be made available for pre-trial conferences with defense counsels and/or trial counsels for specific cases, for the purpose of providing sufficient information for the counsels to understand the findings rendered by the examiners. Whenever possible, pretrial conferences should be conducted telephonically, or through video teleconference, in advance of an examiner's travel to the site of the legal proceeding. Coordination and arrangements for such conferences are the responsibility of the trial counsel for the specific case.

65. On scene assistance When particular expertise is required to process crime scenes, the presence of laboratory examiners may be requested by USACIDC supervisors from the Director, USACIL.
