shall not pay a higher price than any other governmental entity.

c. If conditions justify a price adjustment due to an increase or decrease in the costs

of materials or labor, then the Parties agree to renegotiate Annex B to this Agreement.

Renegotiations regarding a potential price increase shall be limited to no more than once

per year.

d. The MoI shall only charge for equipment and services, as listed in the Price

Schedule (Annex B), that have not been previously donated or funded by the United States.

have as much time as it deems necessary to conduct the annual audit.

6. Personnel.

a. The Mol shall provide the number of APPF guards requested by the DoD

representative for each particular Order. The total number of APPF officers, APPF noncommissioned officers, APPF guard managers, and APPF guard supervisors shall be agreed

upon by the Parties' representatives in advance of the start date for services for each

particular Order. These requirements shall be clearly stated in each Order. DoD shall, as

UNCLASSIFIED
Conduct.

7. Training and Screening. The MoI shall ensure that all APPF personnel provided to fill

Orders under this Agreement have completed the training, screening, and other

requirements identified in subparagraphs a through d. of this paragraph. In advance of the

start date for services for each Order, the MoI representative shall provide written

documentation to the DoD representative that these requirements have been met for each

individual APPF personnel provided to fill an Order under this Agreement.

a. Basic training in accordance with the official MoI APPF standards or equivalent

training, as agreed in writing by the Parties' representatives, shall be required for all APPF

guards and APPF supervisory personnel used to fill Orders under this Agreement. During

the transition period from private security companies to the APPF, APPF guards who will

serve under an Order placed pursuant to this Agreement, at the same location where such

guards served as private security company employees, may be deemed by agreement of the

Parties' representatives to have equivalent training. Training shall be tailored to the skills

required, differentiating between the skills required to perform static security and the

skills required to perform mobile security.

b. Annual weapons qualifications in accordance with MoI APPF qualification

standards shall be required for all APPF guards and APPF supervisory personnel used to fill

Orders under this Agreement.

c. Annual training on the Rules for the Use of Force set forth in Annex C to this

Agreement shall be required for all APPF guards and APPF supervisory personnel used to

fill Orders under this Agreement.

d. The MoI shall ensure that all APPF personnel are fully vetted before and during

their service with DoD under this Agreement. Completed background checks, including but

not limited to full biometric enrollment and verification in the Mol's Automated Biometric

Identification System (ABIS) and documentation of no criminal history or history of

supporting violence against the United States or Afghanistan, shall be required for all APPF

personnel used to fill Orders under this Agreement.

e. The Mol agrees that DoD may conduct its own screening of APPF personnel prior

to allowing access to DoD facilities. The MoI agrees that DoD may independently complete

and verify full biometric enrollment and screening of all APPF personnel used to fill Orders

in the U.S. ABIS system, upon request by DoD, to ensure APPF personnel, at a minimum,

meet the same or equivalent screening standards as DoD personnel and DoD contractor

personnel. These actions may occur before allowing APPF personnel access to those

facilities where services are to be provided under this Agreement or allowing such persons

7

UNCLASSIFIED
those facilities where services are to be provided under this Agreement or allowing such

persons to provide mobile security for DoD personnel or DoD contractor personnel.

f. The Mol shall not charge DoD for the services of any APPF personnel who are

denied access based on either the Mol or DoD screening including biometric, criminal

history, or drug screening results. (See paragraph 11. of this Article for replacement of

APPF personnel denied access).

8. Equipment. The Mol shall provide all equipment as agreed upon in the Order. The Mol

shall furnish the following equipment to APPF guards and APPF supervisory personnel

used to fill each Order under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties:

uniforms, weapons, ammunition, radios and any other equipment agreed to by the Parties'

representatives.

a. The Mol shall provide and maintain all equipment in good working condition.

b. The Mol shall provide radios that are compatible with the U.S. radio systems used

by DoD personnel.

c. The standard weapon furnished by the Mol to APPF guards and APPF supervisory

personnel shall be the AK-47 7.62mm rifle. The Mol may be required to supply larger

caliber weapons if agreed to by both Parties' representatives and reflected in writing in the

Order.

d. APPF guards and APPF supervisory personnel shall carry and display at all duty

times an Mol-issued identification card, which authorizes them to be armed, specifies the

weapons authorized to be carried, and states the type of security (perimeter security or

mobile security) authorized to be performed.

e. For all equipment to be used by APPF personnel to fill a particular Order, the MoI

representative shall provide the identifying details (weapon serial numbers, vehicle make

and model, vehicle identification information, and license plate numbers) to the DoD

representative.

f. The Mol shall be responsible to ensure that all APPF personnel filling Orders

under this Agreement are provided with required personal sustenance such as food and

water, the cost of which shall be paid by the APPF. In the event the Mol does not provide

the required personal sustenance, DoD may terminate the Order.

9. Temporary Structures. The Mol shall have the right to erect temporary structures for

use during the term of an Order on the site of service, including, but not limited to, offices,

8

UNCLASSIFIED
y, gg (pp

requirements), erecting, maintaining and removing such structures shall be included in the

cost of the structure as listed in the Price Schedule (Annex B) to be paid by DoD as agreed

upon in the Order.

b. Such structures shall not interfere with the operations at or the security of the

site of service. The local DoD commander shall determine, in consultation with the APPF

Officer-in-Charge, the placement, location, and type of structures ordered prior to the

erection of the structure(s) to ensure there is no interference with the operation or

security of the proposed site of service.

10. Command and Control Center. The APPF shall maintain a centralized Operations

Center 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, including Afghanistan national or religious holidays,

manned by qualified personnel, at least one of whom shall be sufficiently fluent in the

English language to communicate easily and fully, both orally and in writing, to both

English-only and Dad-only speakers. APPF guards or APPF supervisory personnel on duty

or local DoD commanders shall be able to contact the Operations Center for additional or

back-up support and to resolve urgent customer service issues. The APPF shall provide the

telephone number and other contact information for the Operations Center to the DoD

representative prior to the start of the first Order placed under this Agreement and to the

local DoD commander for each respective Order. Routine customer service issues shall be

handled through the APPF Customer Service Office during normal business hours.

Complete contact information for the APPF Customer Service Office will be provided by the

Mol to the DoD representative and to the local DoD commander prior to the start date for

services under an Order.

11. Access to and Arming on Facilities where Services are to be Provided. DoD may, at its

discretion, determine access to, or arming requirements on, those facilities over which DoD

maintains exclusive access to and use. Additionally, DoD retains discretion to deny

individual APPF personnel access to facilities, parts of facilities, or the perimeter of

facilities over which DoD exercises control. Upon violation of the APPF Code of Conduct or

upon denial of access to such person, the Mol shall replace the person within 15 calendar

days of the initial DoD request, or denial of access, or sooner if emergent circumstances

dictate.

12. Incident Reporting. Review, and Investigation.

a. Incidents, such as those listed below, shall be reported immediately to both the

local DoD commander and the APPF Officer-in-Charge by any Mol employee or DoD

personnel or DoD contractor personnel aware of such incident. Reportable incidents

include but are not limited to:

9

UNCLASSIFIED
pursuant to an Order under this Agreement;

iii. The death of or injury to any other person as a result of conduct by APPF

personnel while performing services pursuant to an Order under this Agreement;

iv. Damage to or destruction of property belonging to DoD, the APPF, the

MoI, or any third party as a result of conduct of APPF personnel while performing services

pursuant to an Order under this Agreement; or

v. An attack on APPF personnel, while such persons are performing services

pursuant to an Order under this Agreement, or an attack on persons being protected by the

APPF, including if a weapon is fired at any of the aforementioned persons.

b. The local DoD commander may investigate the incident in coordination with the

APPF Officer-in-Charge. The APPF Officer-in-Charge shall ensure that all APPF personnel

cooperate with the investigation.

c. Allegations of criminal activity by APPF personnel shall be reported immediately

to appropriate authorities, including the local DoD commander and Afghan authorities.

13. Failure or Inability to Perform. Perimeter security at facilities and mobile security for

DoD personnel and DoD contractor personnel are critical needs for DoD. The Mol is

expected to ensure the performance of all its obligations under this Agreement in

accordance with the timelines prescribed. In the event that the APPF cannot meet critical

requirements for LSSS in the required timelines, as set forth in this Agreement, DoD may

use an alternative to the APPF for the acquisition of these necessary services consistent

with the following:

a. In the event the MoI cannot provide Command and Control Center support (as

defined in paragraph 10. in this Article), provide APPF guards or APPF supervisory

personnel that are trained (as defined in paragraph 7. of this Article) and equipped (as

defined in paragraph 8. of this Article), maintain the number of APPF personnel necessary

to meet its obligations under this Agreement, or reach an agreement on requirements

subject to joint agreement, DoD shall have the right to contract for this service from

sources outside the APPF.

b. Should the APPF not pay APPF personnel used to fill Orders under this

Agreement their salaries due on the regular, scheduled pay date, the DoD representative

shall notify the MoI representative of the failure to pay. The MoI shall endeavor to provide

proof of payment to the DoD representative or remedy the underpayment by paying the

10

UNCLASSIFIED
shall be addressed in accordance with the 2003 Agreement, or successor agreement(s).

15. Dispute Resolution. Any disputes regarding the interpretation or implementation of

this Agreement shall be resolved at the lowest possible level through consultation between

the Parties' representatives and shall not be referred to any national or international court,

tribunal or other similar body, or any third party for settlement. The following dispute

resolution procedures shall apply to all disputes regarding the interpretation or

implementation of this Agreement:

a. The Parties' representatives shall attempt to resolve disputes at the lowest level.

The local DoD commander or the DoD POC shall attempt to resolve disputes with the onsite APPF Officer-in-Charge.

b. Disputes that cannot be resolved at the level of the local DoD commander and the

APPF Officer-in-Charge shall be referred to the Parties' representatives for resolution. If

the dispute cannot be resolved by the Parties' representatives, it shall be referred to DoD

and Mol senior leadership. If the dispute remains unresolved, it shall be referred to

diplomatic channels.

c. During implementation of these dispute resolution procedures, DoD reserves the

right to suspend payments to, and services provided by, the Mol, and take all necessary

measures to protect DoD personnel and DoD contractor personnel, including through the

remedies specified in paragraph 13. of this Article.

d. If DoD is not satisfied for any reason with the services provided under a specific

Order, and is unable to resolve the issue through dispute resolution procedures, DoD may,

through the DoD representative, terminate the relevant Order immediately upon providing

written notice of termination to the Mol representative.

e. Should an Order be terminated by DoD or the Mol, fees for the LSSS provided

shall be pro-rated to the agreed-upon termination date. Both Parties shall establish proper

payment mechanisms for the payment or refunding of monies owed.

16. This Agreement does not obligate DoD to use APPF personnel for perimeter security or

for mobile security needs.

ANNEX C

Rules for the Use of Force (RUF) for APPF Guards Under Task Orders Per USA-Afghanistan-02 

4 For all "Optional Items," the Parties' Representatives shall first assess the requirements of the APPF to fill a

particular Order, taking into account existing structures and resources ("customer provided") at the location where

the LSSS is to be provided. The Parties' Representatives shall jointly agree in advance in writing regarding what, if

any, optional items will be added to an Order, and added to the price of the order. Those requirements shall be

written into the Order. The price for structures listed in the Price Schedule above, includes the cost to deliver

(except for special/remote requirements), erect, maintain, and remove such structures.

18

UNCLASSIFIED
2. Cooperation. APPF personnel must cooperate with Coalition and Afghan National Security

Forces (ANSF) and comply with theater force protection policies. APPF personnel must not avoid

or run through Coalition or ANSF checkpoints. If authorized to carry weapons, APPF personnel

must not aim them at Coalition forces or ANSF.

3. Use 9f Deadly Force. Deadly force is that force, which one reasonably believes will cause death

or serious bodily harm. Deadly force is to be used only when all lesser means have failed or cannot

reasonably be employed. APPF personnel may use necessary force, up to and including deadly

force, against persons in the following circumstances:

• In self-defense.
