By individual’s surname, sponsor’s

Social Security Number, date of birth,

accession number.

SAFEGUARDS:

Access to the Armed Forces Institute

of Pathology is controlled.

Computerized records are maintained in

controlled areas accessible only to

authorized personnel. Entry to these

areas is restricted to those personnel

with a valid requirement and

authorization to enter. All personnel

whose duties require access to, or

processing and maintenance of

personnel information are trained in the

proper safeguarding and use of the

information obtained will be handled as

confidential medical information.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:

Records are maintained 50

years(pending final approval of this

reduced retention period by the

National Archives and Records

Administration), and then destroyed by

shredding or incineration.

Statistical data used for research and

educational projects are destroyed after

end of project.

Military personnel, their civilian

family members, or others may request

early destruction of their individual

remains identification specimen

samples following the conclusion of the

donor’s complete military service or

other applicable relationship to DoD.

For this purpose, complete military

service is not limited to active duty

service; it includes all service as a

member of the Selected Reserves,

Individual Ready Reserve, Standby

Reserve or Retired Reserve.

In the case of DoD civilians and

contractor personnel, early destruction

is allowed when the donor is no longer

deployed by DoD in a geographic area

which requires the maintenance of such

samples. Upon receipt of such requests,

the samples will be destroyed within

180 days, and notification of the

destruction sent to the donor.

Requests for early destruction may be

sent to the Repository Administrator,
