In this capacity, the CG, ASCC will be the DA representative and primary point of contact (POC) for all administrative matters concerning exchange personnel in AOR countries. In exercising this responsibility, the CG, ASCC is authorized to correspond directly with the sponsoring country command and/or activity, commander of the appropriate military personnel division (MPD) and/or finance and accounting office (F&AO), and, when necessary, appropriate HQDA staff agencies on all matters pertaining to the administration and well-being of U.S. Army exchange personnel in the AOR countries. The CG, ASCC will
(1) Exercise Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) authority over U.S. Army exchange personnel in their AOR. (2) Determine rating schemes according to AR 6233 on all U.S. exchange personnel in the AOR consistent with the intent to have PN rating input. Special consideration should be given to medical MPEP personnel due to the specific medical and/or technical nature of their assignments. Where practical, the ASCC surgeon's office should be part of the rating scheme.

(3) Review and relay U.S. Army Human Resources Command (HRC) personnel nominations to the appropriate AOR PN authorities for review.

(6) Not task the MPEP personnel from their assigned duties with their PN to serve as board members or curtail their MPEP assignments for the purpose of attending professional military education. (The MPEP personnel perform their duties directly for the PN commander, and, therefore, may not be removed from their assignment without written approval from the DCS, G3/5/7.)
i. Army commands that host partner nation exchange participants or support the exchange. These ACOMs will (1) Provide the authorized manpower positions by paragraph and line number and unit identification code for the assignment of U.S. Army exchange personnel in support of the MPEP.

(2) Annually review position descriptions for occupied PN MPEP positions to ensure that they accurately reflect the duties assigned to, and the skills required of, their PN exchange personnel, to include required level of language proficiency. Provide results of this annual review to the DCS, G2 and DCS, G3/5/7 MPEP manager, in writing.

(3) Ensure that any recommendations to change or terminate an exchange position are first coordinated with the appropriate ASCC and then sent to the HQDA MPEP manager.

(4) Comply with the DCS, G2 suspense dates regarding extended visit requests for the PN MPEPs. Ensure that extended visit requests have been approved, and provide the DCS, G2 documentation before granting PN MPEP personnel access to U.S. Army installations, personnel, or information.

j. United States Army exchange personnel. United States Army exchange personnel will (1) Read and become familiar with the Army Security Cooperation Strategy, as well as that of their ASCC, and focus their MPEP efforts accordingly.

(2) Adhere to the policies and procedures contained in this regulation and in the bilateral MOA. (3) Ensure that they do not act as liaison officers and/or NCOs, as extensions of the defense attache office, or security cooperation officers and/or NCOs. Exchange personnel will refer requests for information to their ASCCs.

(4) Establish and maintain contact with the command element of the U.S. unit to which they are assigned. This will be accomplished by
(a) Writing a letter of introduction (when first assigned as a MPEP officer or NCO). (b) Submitting a copy of the mid-tour report and end-of-tour report. (c) Writing a letter of departure when the MPEP officer or NCO tour has been concluded.

Note. Additional contact throughout the MPEP tour is recommended.

(5) Write a letter of introduction to the in-country POC where the MPEP officer or NCO is being assigned. (6) Have an official file photograph taken before departing from the continental United States (if board consideration for promotion, command, or other selection is anticipated during the exchange assignment).

(7) Ensure that all medical issues have been resolved before departure. Ensure that all Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) requirements have been met prior to departure for the exchange assignment.

(8) Attend their ASCC's annual assessment conference. Personnel will provide their ASCC with accurate, written assessments of their positions, with a focus on relevancy to Army security cooperation and the goals of their ASCC.

15. Objectives The MPEP objectives are to
a. Support priorities of AR 1131, the Army Security Cooperation Strategy, DOD guidance, combatant command and/or commander campaign plans, and the Army Campaign Support Plan.

b. Strengthen alliances and coalition partners by building partner capacity and maintaining or enhancing relationships in support of a global strategy.

c. Increase defense cooperation by integrating U.S. and PN military personnel working in valid positions at the unit level.

d. Provide a framework through bilateral exchanges of military personnel that prepare officers and NCOs for future assignments in support of multinational operations.

16. Concept a. The Army's MPEP operates typically as a one-for-one exchange of personnel. The ranks and/or grades of the exchange personnel will be essentially equal and as agreed upon by the participating countries. Exchange personnel are assigned on a PCS to duty positions within authorized manpower requirements. Each position has a corresponding position within the PN host military service. Corresponding positions may vary as dictated by differences in organizational structure, weapon systems equipment, tactics, and personnel systems, as mutually agreed. Exchange personnel are given meaningful and responsible assignments commensurate with their grade and qualifications and are integrated into the sponsoring organization as though they belong to the military Service to which they are assigned, consistent with applicable security disclosure authorizations.

Note. Nonreciprocal positions are possible on an exception basis but are authorized under different sections of the United States Code (USC) and have a separate MOA. Personnel in nonreciprocal positions will be supported and overseen according to this regulation and the respective agreements for their positions.

b. Personnel exchange tours may vary from 12 to 36 months (24 months is normal), within a given country, depending upon the parameters established in the negotiated position description. Current tour lengths are annotated on the DA Form 872 (Requisition for Individual Officer Personnel).

c. An international MOA is completed for each country exchange program that outlines the general conditions applicable to the exchange of personnel for that particular program. An appendix to the MOA will list all positions covered by that MOA.

d. Exchange personnel may not perform liaison duties for their parent military service. e. The MPEP may not be used as a training program for PN exchange personnel in contravention to U.S. security assistance laws and regulations. The only training approved by law within MPEP is that which is conducted to familiarize, orient, or certify PN exchange personnel regarding unique aspects of the positions to which they are assigned.

f. Exchange personnel will not be used as a mechanism for exchanging technical data or other controlled information between governments.

17. Legal basis for military personnel exchange program a. The MPEP derives its legal basis from Section 168, Title 10, USC (10 USC 168) which gives the Secretary of the Defense authority to exchange military personnel between units of the U.S. armed forces and units of PN armed forces. In DODD 5230.20, the Secretary of Defense has delegated this authority to the service secretaries.

b. Partner nation participants in nonreciprocal positions derive legal basis from 10 USC 2608 and Section 1207 of Public Law 11184 and for U.S. participants in nonreciprocal positions, 10 USC 168, as amended January 2008, Public Law 11081.

c. The MPEP is separate from security assistance programs that derive their legal basis from 22 USC. The MPEP
and security assistance are separate and distinct programs with different legal bases.

18. Army Security Cooperation Strategy The ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs must take into consideration AR 1131, the Army Campaign Support Plan, and the Army Security Cooperation Strategy in proposing additions to or changes in the MPEP.

19. Office of the Secretary of Defense Guidance for the Employment of the Force Headquarters, DA and the ASCCs will work with the combatant commands to ensure that the MPEP is integrated into the combatant command campaign plan.

## Chapter 2 Establishing And Changing Military Personnel Exchange Programs And Positions

21. Approving authority As approving authority, the DCS, G3/5/7 will obtain concurrence from the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy prior to establishing new MPEPs with countries that have never before participated or with countries whose agreements have lapsed after 5 years.

22. Procedures for establishing military personnel exchange programs a. Proposals for establishing an exchange program are presented by either an ACOM (for example, ASCC, ACOM, or DRU) or an agency representing a PN military command (for example, the PN Military Attache in Washington, DC). In all cases, proposals will be submitted in writing to the DCS, G3/5/7, ATTN: DAMOSSR, Washington, DC 203100400. Each U.S. Army proposal will include the following information:
(1) Justification for the proposed exchange, indicating desired implementation date and explanation of how the exchange integrates with Army Security Cooperation Strategy and the ASCC's campaign plan.

Note. Coordination with the appropriate ASCC is necessary prior to submission to HQDA.

(2) Tentative duty description, place of assignment, and qualifications desired of U.S. Army personnel for duty with the sponsoring army. As a minimum, desired rank and/or grade, language qualification, required security clearance, branch of service or specialty code and/or military occupational specialty, tour length, and military education level should be identified. Paragraph B1 shows the information to include for a duty description.

(3) Identification of a U.S. Army activity and/or command in which the PN army's exchange personnel will be used and whether such U.S. Army organization supports the position.

(4) A brief statement outlining the capabilities of the PN exchange personnel to perform the duties desired with a U.S. Army activity.

Note. The MPEP is not an alternative means of acquiring training that would normally be provided under foreign military sales or International Military Education and Training procedures; therefore, PN exchange personnel must be prepared to be integrated immediately into the sponsoring army and to perform the duties required.

(5) Statement of whether informal coordination has been made with the PN, and if so, the PN's desires regarding the proposed exchange. Extreme care must be exercised to ensure that no commitments are made during any informal coordination of exchange proposals with representatives of the PN.

(6) Other pertinent comments, including availability of housing, personal hardships that may be encountered, and any special military qualifications such as ranger, airborne, and so forth, not identified in paragraph 22a(2). If accompanied status is recommended, information must be provided on quarters, schools, living conditions, and health care.

(7) A coordinated draft delegation of disclosure authority letter (DDL). b. Upon receipt of a proposal to establish an exchange program, the DCS, G3/5/7 will determine the feasibility and desirability of such a program. The proposal will be coordinated within the Army staff, appropriate Army activities and/or commands, the ASCC, and appropriate outside agencies as necessary (such as Office of the Secretary of Defense and the geographical combatant command). If the United States and PN determine that the proposed exchange is acceptable, and after approval of the proposal by the DCS, G3/5/7, the HQDA MPEP manager will coordinate the development of an MOA that defines the terms under which the exchange program will function. An MOA will be negotiated for each PN program but not for individual exchange positions. The Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy provides MOA templates to the service MPEP managers.

c. The authority to negotiate and conclude an MOA for a U.S. Army MPEP is strictly reserved for HQDA after completing the coordination required in AR 55051. The ASCC and/or PN embassy will assist the HQDA MPEP manager to obtain MOA responses from that country, but final decision approval of negotiations rests with the DCS, G3/5/7.

d. The HQDA MPEP manager will initiate the MOA negotiations by submitting a draft MOA to the ASCC or PN
embassy for presentation to the PN military service. When the MOA is returned, the ASCC POC or PN embassy will send the draft MOA with the PN service's comments to the HQDA MPEP manager for legal review (DAJAIO). Through this process, a mutually agreeable MOA will be concluded. The HQDA-designated signature authority will sign the MOA for the U.S Army on behalf of the SA, after the final version has been approved by HQDA (DAMOSSR and DAJAIO).

e. Once the MOA has been signed by the appropriate representative of the PN and the U.S. Army, an original of each language version of the MOA will be sent to the HQDA MPEP manager for necessary action to accomplish the exchange. A second original of the agreement will be presented to the appropriate PN military service headquarters. Copies will be provided to the participating U.S. command and/or activity, ASCC, in-country POC, and appropriate HQDA agencies. In accordance with the provisions of AR 55051, the HQDA MPEP manager will transmit copies of international agreements to DAJAIO and Department of State.

f. Nomination and certification data pertaining to PN military personnel will be forwarded by the PN's military attache to the Deputy Chief of Staff, G2, ATTN: DAMICDS (Foreign Disclosure Branch), in accordance with procedures outlined in AR 38010 and the U.S. Army Military Attache GuideAdministrative Guidance. An extended visit request for proposed PN personnel must be received by the DCS, G2 at least 90 days prior to the individuals projected extended visit start date. Under no circumstances will PN military personnel depart their country for duty with a U.S. Army organization prior to being notified by the DSC, G2 (Foreign Disclosure) that the required extended visit has been approved. Under no circumstances will ACOMs allow PN MPEP personnel access to U.S. Army facilities or organizations, or to interact with PN military personnel without an approved visit authorization.

23. Procedures for establishing or modifying new exchange positions within existing programs The procedures in paragraph 22 (less negotiation of an MOA) will be followed to establish new exchange positions within an existing program, with the exception that the DCS, G3/5/7, in coordination with the DCS, G2 (Foreign Disclosure) is the approving authority. Once the DCS, G3/5/7 approval has been granted, the MOA in effect for that program will be modified by the inclusion of a signed annex to the original MOA that cites the new positions and to which mutually agreed upon descriptions (to include level of language proficiency required) will be attached. Copies of the revised annex and position descriptions will be provided to the agencies cited in paragraph 22e. Signature authorities for a position annex to the MOA will be those cited in paragraph 14 and in the glossary.

24. Procedures for establishing exchanges proposed by another nation's military service When an exchange program or position is proposed by another nation's military service, the ASCC for that AOR, in coordination with appropriate ACOMs and HQDA, will determine whether the exchange is feasible and appropriate according to Army Security Cooperation Strategy and National Disclosure Policy1. The provisions of paragraph 22
or 23 will apply.

25. Assessment of exchanges a. All U.S Army exchange positions must be routinely assessed to determine if the exchange should continue, be modified, or be terminated. The assessment will be an ongoing process but should formally occur during the annual ASCC assessment conferences with U.S. participants and other stakeholders. When a change or termination of an exchange position is desired, the following actions will take place:
(1) The ASCC will provide a recommendation, through normal command channels, to the HQDA MPEP manager r e g a r d i n g  m o d i f i c a t i o n  o r  t e r m i n a t i o n  o f  t h e  e x c h a n g e .  T h e  D A M O - S S R  w i l l  n o t i f y  t h e  C o m m a n d e r ,  H R C (HRCOPDA/HRCEPS) of all approved modifications to MPEP position descriptions. In all cases, each agency involved will be notified of the action taken regarding the exchange and any further action required, if applicable.

(2) Recommendations to terminate or modify exchange positions require full justification and coordination with all stakeholders prior to submission to HQDA. The DCS, G3/5/7 is the approving authority for all changes.

b. Exchanges may be unilaterally terminated at the MOA signatory level, by either country, provided a notice of intent to terminate the exchange is given at least 180 days prior to the effective termination date (unless the MOA provides a different time period).

c. It must be stressed that, once established, an exchange position becomes a U.S. Army security cooperation priority and has national and strategic implications. Unilateral decisions by individual stakeholders may not be made. The final decision rests with the DCS, G3/5/7.

## Chapter 3 Personnel Administration

31. General a. The ASCC is responsible to the DCS, G3/5/7 for exercising administrative control and supervision of personnel performing duties under the auspices of MPEP in the countries of its AOR.

b. All U.S. Army exchange personnel will be assigned on a PCS basis against an authorized modified table of organization and equipment or table of distribution and allowance position in an ACOM and/or activity which is sponsoring the exchange position and referred to as the "parent organization." Personnel will then be attached to an ASCC-designated MPD and F&AO for personnel and finance records administration, to include attached strength report accountability, and further attached to the ASCC-designated in-country POC for in-country oversight.

c. Subject to individual PN limitations, and according to applicable DA directives, command sponsorship, concurrent transportation of dependents, household goods, and a privately owned vehicle are authorized for personnel ordered to exchange duty unless specified otherwise in the special instructions.

d. Overseas tour lengths established by the MOA between the U.S. Army and the PN take precedence over standard overseas tours stated in AR 61430. Personnel fulfilling an MOA-established tour will be credited with a completed overseas tour. Personnel exchange tours may vary from 12 to 36 months (24 months is normal), within a given country, depending upon the parameters established for the specific exchange position in the MOA.

32. Selection criteria a. All MPEP positions are nominative. The HRC is responsible for selecting, nominating, and assigning U.S. Army personnel for exchange duty. The DCS, G3/5/7 (DAMOSSR) will provide individual exchange position requirements to the HRC upon the DCS, G3/5/7 approval of the position. Personnel must have a minimum of a secret security clearance before reporting for exchange duty. The MPEP manager will identify those exchange positions requiring a higher security clearance to the HRC. Exchange positions in U.S. Army units will be designated by the command sponsoring the exchange. On reciprocal positions, the command will neither lose nor gain personnel to fill authorized table of organization and equipment and/or table of distribution and allowance spaces because the designated positions will be filled by PN military personnel. Exchange personnel are considered to be personnel assets of the host organization.

b. The HRC must ensure that nominees for exchange positions do not plan to separate or retire from the exchange position. Exchange assignment nominees must have at least a 2year Service obligation after completing an exchange tour.

c. United States Army personnel selected for exchange duty will be those who have demonstrated capabilities for future higher command and staff positions and who are particularly well qualified through schooling and assignment experience for the exchange positions that they will fill. Personnel selected must also be capable of serving with tact and diplomacy and be highly motivated for such duty. Due to the usually remote locations of the exchange positions from U.S. military medical facilities, families with health issues must receive thorough EFMP screening and may be excluded from MPEP assignments. Close coordination must be made with the ASCC to ensure that adequate schools are available for children of MPEP personnel.

d. In cases where exchange personnel are married, the ASCC and the HRC must ensure that personnel are not assigned to duty stations that have insufficient facilities (medical, schooling, and housing) to support their families. Soldiers enrolled in the Married Army Family Couples Program must waive their Married Army Family Couples c o n s i d e r a t i o n  f o r  t h e  d u r a t i o n  o f  t h e i r  M P E P  a s s i g n m e n t ,  i f  a s s i g n m e n t  i n s t r u c t i o n s  f o r  t h e  s p o u s e  c a n n o t  b e accommodated.

e. The HRC will ensure that selectees complete EFMP screening prior to having their name submitted for nomination. Selectees with family members enrolled in EFMP will have the details of enrollment submitted with the nomination to the ASCC for determination of support for EFMP enrollee in the PN.

f. Personnel must be proficient in the language of the country to which they are being assigned. They are required to have a minimum professional proficiency in the language as described in AR 116 and measured by the Defense Language Proficiency Test. The language proficiency must be attained and demonstrated prior to nomination to the exchange position.

33. Nomination and approval procedures The HRC will send the nomination of an individual under consideration to the ASCC, which will present it to the appropriate PN military officials. The nomination will include a brief career history, security information, EFMP status, and any other pertinent information that will assist the sponsoring country in evaluating the individual. A copy of each nomination will be furnished to the HQDA MPEP manager for forwarding to the appropriate country's military attache in the United States when requested. Upon approval of the nomination by the PN, the ASCC will notify the HRC and HQDA MPEP manager of the acceptance. This notification will contain special instructions for the efficient reporting of the individual to the exchange duty location. The HRC will issue a request for orders that will contain specific special instructions developed and provided by the ASCC (in coordination with MPEP manager). Special instructions will include passport requirements.

34. Preassignment orientation and training a. United States Army personnel identified for positions under the provisions of this regulation will complete the following preparation, as appropriate:
Note. The MPEP does not have funding for training. Any qualification training and requisite temporary duty (TDY) and/or PCS will be part of general U.S. Army training and PCS funding.

(1) Language qualification to the required level of proficiency. The HRC will arrange language training, if necessary.

(2) Any special skill training identified on the personnel requisition form (DA Form 872) that the approved nominee does not possess. The HRC will arrange and fund required skill training, as required.

(3) In processing with the ASCC. (4) Orientation and in processing at the supporting MPD and F&AO. Orientation is mandatory but will not exceed 2
days.

b. Orders will reflect the preassignment training required. All TDY travel in connection with a PCS in excess of 1
day will be funded from the military personnel, Army appropriation as an exception to AR 6008105.

35. Records and pay administration a. General. The ASCCs and parent units will work together to provide adequate support to Army MPEP personnel.

b. Personnel records.

(1) Personnel matters that arise during the exchange tour of duty will be coordinated directly between the ASCC and the MPD.

(2) The MPD will, within 5 working days after in processing, send to the U.S. parent unit's MPD, one copy of the following:
(a) Assignment and/or attachment orders. (b) Officer record brief or enlisted record brief. (c) Photo static copy of DD Form 93 (Record of Emergency Data). (d) Service Members Group Life Insurance documentation. (3) The MPD at the ASCC maintaining the Servicemember's personnel information will ensure that the individual is attached to the electronic military personnel office (eMILPO) personnel file at the servicing Personnel Information System processing activity. This will include submitting an eMILPO arrival transaction to DA. The eMILPO transactions will be submitted per AR 60086, paragraph 117 and eMILPO functional guidance. The ASCC MPD will inform the unit of assignment on changes of the member's duty status (DA Pam 6008, table 911) and furnish courtesy copies of miscellaneous personnel changes to the unit of assignment servicing the MPD. The MPD of the permanent unit of assignment will then furnish copies of the DA change notifications to the ASCC MPD for updating the Soldier's personnel file.

c. Personnel officer. The personnel officer of the U.S. Army unit of assignment in the exchange will submit an
"assigned not joined" and a departure transaction, as appropriate, according to procedures in AR 60086 and send all officer record briefs and enlisted record briefs received during the period of assignment to the ASCC MPD for necessary processing.

d. Finance records. Individual finance records will be maintained by the servicing ASCC F&AO. The individual will send finance actions occurring during the exchange tour of duty through the ASCC.

e. Medical and dental records. The ASCCs will, according to the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application, and in coordination with their servicing Armed Forces medical clinic, develop a procedure for maintaining and updating medical and dental records. In cases where MPEP personnel are remotely assigned, the individual will retain their records and those of their Family members. Documents relating to treatment by PN practitioners should be obtained, if possible, and filed in the records. The PN or U.S. medical and dental personnel will annotate the records, as required.

f. Flight records. Normally, U.S. Army exchange personnel in flying status will be provided facilities by the sponsoring army to maintain flight proficiency up to minimum requirements. Waivers to requirements may be granted by DA in accordance with AR 951. Except where other arrangements have been made, the individual will maintain flight records, including all flying time certified by the appropriate host army authorities.

36. Uniform policy a. Exchange personnel will comply with the current U.S. Army uniform guidance in AR 6701. b. The order of dress for any occasion will be that which most conforms to the order of dress of the particular host unit. Customs of the PN will be observed with respect to the wearing of civilian clothing.

d. United States MPEP NCOs will be issued (without charge) dress blue and blue mess dress uniforms with accessories according to CTA 50900 (paid for by the losing command).

37. Leave and travel procedures Exchange personnel may be granted leave when coordinated with the appropriate authorities of the PN. Unless otherwise specified, the ASCC will be the approval authority for all leaves and will furnish one copy of leave authorization to the ASCC MPD for required administrative action according to AR 600810. Travel procedures and restrictions of the PN and the U.S. Army will apply to all exchange personnel. Subject to approval of the PN, exchange personnel may observe holiday schedules of both services.

38. Individual evaluation reports a. United States Army exchange officers will be evaluated by their PN supervisor using DA Form 679 (Officer Evaluation Report) according to AR 6233. The ASCC will provide the PN rater with the appropriate advice for submitting efficiency reports. If the PN chain of command desires to endorse the rater's report, the endorsement will be included in the evaluation packet. If necessary, a certified English translation of the letter report will be obtained by the in-country POC and attached with the originals to the officer efficiency report as official enclosures to the officer evaluation report. The DA Form 679 (with any PN endorsements) will be forwarded through the MPD at the ASCC to the HRC (HRCMSER) for records processing.

(1) The MPEP rating schemes are established by the ASCC. (2) The MPEP officers will be rated according to AR 6233. (3) The senior rater will be designated by Headquarters, ASCC. (4) The rated officer will comply with AR 6233, paragraph 29. It is the responsibility of the rated officer to inform the senior rater and the ASCC of changes to their exchange duties and changes in the hosting military service rater.

b. United States Army exchange NCOs will be evaluated according to procedures outlined in AR 6233 or DA
PAM 6233, as applicable. The in-country POC should request a letter from the NCO's PN supervisor to assist in preparing the NCO evaluation report, although the letter cannot become an official part of the report. The rater and senior rater will be U.S. Servicemembers designated by the ASCC. The reviewer should be U.S. Army, wherever possible. The evaluation will be forwarded to the ASCC MPD for administrative processing.

39. Awards and decorations a. Award of U.S. Army decorations to U.S. Army personnel participating in the MPEP is governed by AR
600822 and DOD 1348.33. Award recommendations will be initiated by the ASCC with input from the in-country POC and processed through the ASCC MPD.

Exchange personnel are responsible for paying charges made by the host government for quarters and messing, when provided, and for any attendant services provided by persons employed by the host government. When required to reimburse the host government for rental quarters, U.S. Army MPEP personnel are entitled to quarters allowance for the locale in which they are residing. The MOA initiating the exchange program will define, in adequate detail, the provisions for quarters in order to allow exchange personnel adequate planning time prior to in-country arrival. The ASCC will provide current information to exchange personnel concerning availability of quarters in the PN.

b. AR 4201 governs the occupancy of U.S.-provided quarters by PN exchange personnel.

311. Health care a. Before leaving the United States, U.S. Army personnel being considered for assignment to exchange duty, and their dependents, will be required to
(1) Undergo appropriate medical evaluation as prescribed by AR 40501. U.S. Army personnel and/or dependents with chronic medical problems may not be accepted for exchange duty due to nonavailability of proper continuing medical care.

(2) Correct any medical or dental defects that might reasonably be expected to require care during an overseas tour. b. United States Army personnel and their dependents assigned to exchange duty will receive all required immunizations prior to reporting for exchange duty. Immunization requirements for military personnel are outlined in AR 40562.

## Section Ii Legal Policy

45. Status of exchange personnel Exchange personnel are given the same authority and supervisory responsibilities (except as explained below) that would be given personnel of the host military service employed in the same unit in a similar position. They also receive the same rights and privileges accorded host military service personnel of equivalent grade and rank.

46. Jurisdiction over exchange personnel a. Exchange personnel who commit an offense against the military laws and regulations of either the parent or host service may be separated from the exchange program with a view toward further administrative or disciplinary action by the parent service. **Disciplinary action will not be taken by the host service against exchange personnel.** The separation of exchange personnel from the program will not affect the right of civil authorities of the host state or its political subdivisions to exercise criminal jurisdiction over such personnel according to applicable international agreements or other diplomatic arrangements related to status of forces.

b. The U.S. Army personnel on exchange duty with another nation's military service will govern their actions according to U.S. Army regulations and will remain subject to disciplinary action under the UCMJ. Consistent with the above, U.S. Army personnel will respect the lawful regulations, orders, instructions, and customs of the host service insofar as they are applicable and consistent with U.S. laws and U.S. Army regulations. They will obey all lawful orders in the same manner as orders issued by personnel of superior grade of their own service.

c. Partner nation personnel on duty with the U.S. Army will, at all times, remain subject to the regulations of their own service or government. They will not be subject to disciplinary action under the UCMJ but will be subject to the provisions of the MPEP MOA.

47. Disciplinary powers Exchange personnel will not exercise disciplinary powers over personnel of the PN except as may be authorized by the laws and regulations of the PN and as articulated in the MOA.

48. Claims responsibility Claims procedures for determining responsibility between parent and host governments for the acts and conduct of exchange personnel will be outlined in the MOA.

49. Command positions a. In no case may PN personnel on exchange duty with the U.S. Army be assigned to positions in which they would be required to perform duties reserved for U.S. personnel. Partner nation personnel on exchange duty may exercise general supervisory functions over U.S. military and civilian employees. However, no personnel actions of a disciplinary nature can be taken which affect civilian employees. These actions must be taken by a U.S. military or civilian employee who is senior to the PN member in the supervisory chain of command. (For specific guidance concerning PN personnel as raters and senior raters for U.S. military personnel, refer to AR 6233. For specific guidance concerning PN personnel as raters and senior raters for U.S. civilian employees, refer to AR 690400.)
b. United States Army personnel on exchange duty with PN armies may serve in command positions as agreed upon by the host nation and as provided in the MOA or the negotiated position description.

b. Unless expressly authorized by the USG, U.S. Army exchange personnel assigned to duty with PN military units will not participate in combat operations. This restriction applies to all hostilities to include civil-military actions within the PN or its sovereign possessions or territories in which the PN's military forces are called upon to assist in restoring law and order.

c. This restriction does not apply to civil-military actions in which the military is requested to assist in providing humanitarian relief to areas devastated by natural or manmade catastrophes.

d. In any case where involvement in hostilities (as defined in para 410b) becomes imminent, military duties of U.S.

Army exchange personnel will be terminated, unless prior authorization by the USG has been granted. These personnel will contact the USG and/or U.S. Army authorities for further instructions.

e. Requests for clarification on the application of this policy to individual exchange officers should be directed to the HQDA MPEP manager through the appropriate ASCC.

411. Operational deployment procedures When a PN requests to deploy U.S. Army exchange personnel for operational purposes, the following procedures will be implemented:
a. At earliest indication of possible deployment, exchange personnel will immediately notify the ASCC through the in-country POC. Care must be taken not to compromise PN security when making notification. Under no circumstances will exchange personnel deploy with their host unit until in receipt of DOD-issued authorization.

b. The ASCC will immediately inform the HQDA MPEP manager (DAMOSSR) of possible request for deployment and follow-on guidance.

c. The PN must submit formal requests for deployment through U.S. Embassy team channels to the ASCC and HQDA MPEP manager.

## Chapter 5 Partner Nation Personnel

51. Conditions and limitations a. The PN MPEP participants (1) Will not act in the dual capacity as a PN MPEP participant and as a participant in any other extended visitor program (such as, foreign liaison officer, Cooperative Partnership Program, Engineer and Scientist Exchange Program, or Administrative Professional Exchange Program) while assigned to a DA command.

(2) Will not serve as conduits between DA and their government for requests and transmission of classified military information (CMI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI) or be used as a mechanism for exchanging technical data or other controlled information between the governments.

(3) Will not be assigned to 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 PN visitors, or perform other official acts as a representative of the DA. When attending meetings or conferences outside the host command and/or activity, the PN MPEP participant must make it clear that they are performing in an exchange role and cannot represent the U.S. Army. Under no circumstance will they be sent as the sole representative of the command and/or activity.

(4) Will not be assigned to DOD contractor facilities. (5) 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.

(6) Will not have permanent 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 DDL or equivalent disclosure guidance. In all cases, local security policies and procedures apply.

b. The PN MPEP participants' access to restricted areas will be in accordance with AR 19013 and local security policies and procedures and as specified in DDLs or equivalent disclosure guidance documents.

c. The DA will not submit Exceptions to National Disclosure Policy1 requests solely to accommodate establishing or continuing a MPEP position.

d. Assigning PN participants to exchange positions will not be used for training PN personnel or, instead of, or in combination with, the 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 PN MPEP participants regarding unique aspects of their assigned positions and equipment.

(1) All PN aviators will complete, at U.S. Army expense, the appropriate qualification course for the aircraft they will fly while on exchange with the U.S. Army.

(2) All PN instructors at the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy will complete the Sergeants Major Course 2 to 5
years prior to assuming an MPEP exchange instructor position. Exceptions to this will be made on a case-by-case basis and negotiated with the PN. The course cost must be borne by the PN in the form of an International Military Education and Training allocation or on a self-pay basis.

(3) Once PN exchange personnel have been assigned to the U.S. unit, the cost of training programs conducted to familiarize, orient, or certify them regarding unique aspects of the assignment will be borne by the host unit. This includes costs related to the use of facilities in performance of their duties, as well as TDY costs directed by the hosting unit.

e. Reciprocal PN MPEP participants will not be used to augment staff positions or to obtain personnel resources beyond authorized manning levels.

f. The PN MPEP participants will wear their uniforms according to 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 PN personnel.

g. Any other identification (including organizational code and title, block, office nameplate, security badge, or email address) used by or issued to PN MPEP participants by the host unit will clearly identify the MPEP participant's status as a PN national. For example, an e-mail address will resemble the following: "SmithJ (Full country name National)@hqda.army.mil". Acronyms for country names will not be used. The recipient of the PN MPEP participant's e-mail message must be able to identify the MPEP as a PN national.

52. Certification a. Partner nation military personnel exchange program participants are certified to DA commands or agencies to perform assigned duties. Terms of certification are determined by the hosting command. They are derived from, and are consistent with, the scope and provisions of the MOA, the position description, and local security policies and procedures.

b. Each PN 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 foreign disclosure officer (FDO), must be provided to the participant and the respective ACOM's FDO within 15 days of arrival. If the PN MPEP participant refuses to sign the certification statement, the command or agency must immediately notify the DCS, G2, which will notify the DA proponent and together resolve the issue through the parent government's military attache in Washington, DC.

53. Processing nominations a. Processing.

(1) Step 1: The appropriate PN military attache will submit an extended visit authorization (EVA) request at least 90
days prior to the requested date of assignment of the PN MPEP participant. In the EVA request, the PN military attache provides written notification to the DCS, G2 of the following:
(a) Nominee is an officially sponsored exchange participant of that government. (b) Nominee holds the specified level of security clearance. (c) Nominee has a statement of official sponsorship and security assurance. (d) Nominee has a biography. The EVA or a separate communication from the PN embassy to the DCS, G2 must contain a biography describing the nominee's career and qualifications to meet the requirements of the designation position, as well as a photograph meeting the requirements stated in the U.S Army Attache' GuideAdministrative Guidance.

(2) Step 2: The DCS, G2 will process the EVA request to the command or agency to which the PN MPEP
participant is to be assigned. Since the position DDL or equivalent disclosure guidance outlining the terms of the certification of the PN MPEP participant will be precoordinated and approved, the recipient DA command or agency should respond by the stated suspense date on the EVA 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 AR 38010, app D for detailed information on DDLs.) The receiving command is not the decision authority for rejecting a country's nominee based on qualification standards. Rejection of a nomination based on a lack of qualifications to meet position requirements must receive concurrence of the first general officer in the chain of command before notifying the appropriate ASCC and the DCS, G3/5/7 for resolution with the PN.

(3) Step 3: Upon receipt of the concurrence of the recipient command or agency, the DCS, G2 will approve the EVA request and notify the DCS, G3/5/7; the PN military attache; and the recipient command or agency of the approval. The PN military attache will then coordinate with the recipient command or agency for the arrival of the PN MPEP participant.

Note. Department of the Army commands or agencies may not accept or have contact with a PN MPEP participant until the DDL has been approved by the appropriate authority and subsequently received and approved by the DCS, G2. The required biography and photograph must be submitted to the DCS, G2 before approval will be granted. If the PN MPEP participant arrives prior to visit approval, the command or agency involved will not permit the PN MPEP participant to commence his or her duties. The command or agency FDO must be notified immediately. The command or agency FDO will then notify the DCS, G2, who will coordinate the disposition of the PN MPEP participant with the DCS, G3/5/7 and the appropriate PN military attache, and provide instructions to the command or agency FDO.

b. Modification of a military personnel exchange program position. Any proposal to change the scope of a PN
MPEP participant's certification will be according to the procedures outlined in chapter 2, with emphasis on the specific modification. Any proposal to extend the PN MPEP participant's duration must be initiated and requested by the appropriate PN military attache using the Foreign Visits System or by letter, if the embassy is not on the Foreign Visits System. Under the "purpose of visit request" section of the extension request, the appropriate PN military attache will state "extension of current visit" citing the existing visit request number. The hosting unit cannot initiate a request for an extension of current visit.

c. Reevaluation of a military personnel exchange program position. See paragraphs 14j(8) and 25.

54. Administration a. Visits. All visits or travel by the PN MPEP participant will be according to the standing operating procedures of the unit of assignment. However, all travel orders will identify the individual as a PN MPEP participant assigned to a U.S. DOD or U.S. Army organization.

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

c. Computer access. The PN MPEP may not have unsupervised access to computer systems (stand-alone or network) unless the information accessible by the computer is authorized for disclosure to their government. The PN MPEP will use only Army-issued computer equipment while in the workplace. (See para 51g for information regarding e-mail addresses and messages.) In all cases, the provisions of AR 252 and local security procedures will apply.

d. Misconduct. The PN MPEP serves at the pleasure of the U.S. Army and must comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory (DOD, DA, and local) guidance. If a PN MPEP 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 contact officer will notify the local agency or command FDO and provide a written report on the inappropriate action, through command channels, to the DCS, G3/5/7 (DAMOSSR), with a recommendation for final disposition (such as temporary suspension or permanent revocation of privileges) or revocation of certification. The DCS, G3/5/7 (DAMOSSR) will coordinate the resolution of all PN MPEP participant misconduct cases with the ASCC; host commands; the DCS, G2; The Judge Advocate General; and PN representatives.

55. Health care a. The PN MPEP participant and his or her spouse and dependent children, are authorized certain DOD health care benefits under AR 40400. The scope of benefits varies depending on the member's parent state but usually includes outpatient medical care in DOD hospitals and clinics. Inpatient medical care is available on a routine basis for North Atlantic Treaty Organization personnel and on an emergency basis for other personnel. Dental care is normally available only for military members.

b. There is a charge for using DOD health care by PN personnel, unless a special arrangement exists with the member's parent state (for example, North Atlantic Treaty Organization personnel are not charged for outpatient care). If not subject to a specific arrangement, health care costs must be reimbursed by the individual or parent state.

c. On arrival at the U.S. duty station, the member and his or her spouse should visit the nearest DOD hospital and talk to the patient benefits counselor about the care available, admittance procedures, payment of bills, and so forth.

56. Supervisor functions The DA official supervising a PN MPEP participant will
a. Ensure that the PN MPEP participant understands the duties to be performed in the assigned position. b. Ensure that the PN MPEP participant is provided access only to that CMI and CUI necessary to fulfill the duties of the position description as described in the DDL or equivalent disclosure guidance.

c. Be familiar with this regulation, AR 38010, and other applicable regulatory guidance governing the disclosure of CUI, and specific disclosure guidelines established in the DDL or equivalent disclosure guidance.

d. Inform coworkers of the disclosure limitations on access to CMI and CUI related to the PN MPEP participant and their responsibilities in dealing with the PN MPEP participant.

e. Develop a certification process to ensure that the PN MPEP participant meets minimum requirements outlined in the position description submitted to HQDA. The supervisor will ensure that the PN MPEP participant signs a certification form with the contact officer (see para 57a(2)) before being assigned to the position.

f. Ensure that the DDL is NOT provided to the PN MPEP participant. The DDL is a U.S eyes-only document.

57. United States contact officer a. Contact officers will be designated in writing by commanders or agency heads, or their designees to facilitate and oversee the activities of the PN MPEP participants at DA commands or agencies. The contact officer should be of equivalent rank and grade or higher, if available, to the PN MPEP participant. A primary and an alternate contact officer must be identified in the DDL (para 8). They must be physically accessible to and have daily contact with the PN MPEP participant. All contact officers must be familiar with this regulation, other applicable guidelines governing the disclosure of CMI and CUI, and specific disclosure guidelines established in the DDL. The local FDO will brief the contact officer on his or her duties. Contact officers will also adhere to the guidelines listed below.

Note. Commands or agencies will not assign the duties of a contact officer to U.S. contractors, unless it is specifically written in their contract that they are official representatives of the U.S. Army.

b. The contact officer for a PN MPEP participant will (1) Be briefed by the FDO and become familiar with this regulation, and the specific terms of certification approved by the DCS, G2 for the individual PN MPEP position.

(2) Initially brief a new PN MPEP participant on DA and local policies and procedures affecting the PN MPEP
participant's status and performance of duties, as well as customs of the U.S. Army; subsequently, the contact officer will render advice and assistance to the PN MPEP participant in complying with such policies and procedures. The contact officer will have the PN MPEP participant sign a certification form indicating his or her agreement and understanding. The contact officer will provide a copy of the signed certification form to the PN MPEP participant.

(3) In conjunction with the FDO, evaluate the PN MPEP participant's requests for consultations and visits and assist in arranging activities that the contact officer deems substantively consistent with the PN MPEP participant's approved terms of certification. Consultations and visits beyond a PN MPEP participant's terms of certification require the submission of formal visit requests by the PN MPEP participant's embassy in Washington, DC.

(4) Receive, evaluate, and recommend and/or refer all PN MPEP participant requests for CMI to the FDO. (5) Receive, evaluate, and refer all PN MPEP participant requests involving CUI according to local procedures. (6) Notify the DCS, G2 through foreign disclosure channels when the designated contact officer has been changed or upon permanent departure of the PN MPEP participants under their oversight.

(7) Notify the supporting counterintelligence and local security offices of any foreign visitor activity, which is reportable under the provisions of AR 38112.

(8) Comply with the procedures cited in paragraph 54d of this regulation regarding misconduct on the part of the PN MPEP participant.

(9) Brief U.S. personnel with whom the PN MPEP participant will have official contact (to include one-time and recurring visits external to the command or agency) to ensure that they are made fully aware of disclosure guidance and restrictions.

58. Operational deployment procedures The U.S. Army units hosting PN exchange personnel must have HQDA approval prior to PN personnel participating in operational deployments. The following procedures will be used to obtain approval:
a. If a unit desires to deploy its exchange personnel, the personnel will be notified of that intent and assisted in notifying their embassy in Washington of the unit's intent. This assistance is required to ensure that operational security is not compromised.

b. The unit will submit a request through command channels to the DCS, G3/5/7 (DAMOSSR ATTN: MPEP
Manager) requesting approval to deploy PN exchange personnel. The DAMOSSR will coordinate DA and local embassy approval for PN personnel to deploy.

c. The host unit must notify DAMOSSR through command channels when PN exchange personnel deploy and when they return to continental United States.

59. Official travel procedures When a PN MPEP participant is directed to perform official U.S. Army travel in performance of their exchange duties, they will be issued a DD Form 1610 (Request and Authorization for TDY Travel of DOD Personnel). Block 16 (remarks) of the DD Form 1610 will identify the individual as a MPEP participant and state that they are entitled to the same travel priorities and privileges as U.S. military personnel. The PN MPEP participants are paid the same travel and per diem rates as U.S. military personnel for official travel.

510. Casualty reporting All PN MPEP participants will complete a DD Form 93. As a minimum, Blocks 1 through 8 and Block 13 will be completed. Block 13 will contain contact information for the participant's embassy in Washington, DC, to include the appropriate service attache, address, phone and fax numbers. Copies of the DD Form 93 will be maintained the same as for U.S. personnel (with copies also provided to the embassy POC and the individual).

511. Issuance of awards Award of U.S. Army decorations to the PN MPEP participants will be processed according to procedures outlined in AR 600822 and DOD 1348.33. Award recommendations will be forwarded through the S1 and/or DCS, G1 channels to HQDA (DAPCALA) for approval. In many instances, PN MPEP participants are prohibited from receiving U.S. awards. Prior to initiating any such recommendation, the initiating office must verify the conditions of acceptance with the U.S. Army attache in that country. Letters of commendation may be issued without prior approval from HQDA and should be sent through the appropriate ACOM, ASCC, or DRU for forwarding to the appropriate military attache in Washington, DC.
