§ 811.5 Customers exempt from fees.

Title III of the 1968 Intergovernmental

Cooperation Act (42 U.S.C. 4201, 4231,

from paying for products and loans.

This applies if the supplier has

sufficient funds and if the exemption

does not impair its mission. The

requesting agency must certify that the

materials are not commercially

available. When requests for VI material

do not meet exemption criteria, the

requesting agency pays the fees.

Exempted customers include:

(a) DoD and other government

agencies asking for materials for official

activities (see DoD Instruction 4000.19,

Interservice, and Intergovernmental

Armed Forces, when SAF/PA

determines that VI materials or services

promote the Air Force’s best interest.

(h) Incidental or occasional requests

working on news productions,

documentaries, or print products that

inform the public on Air Force

§ 813.1 Purpose of the visual information

documentation (VIDOC) program.

Using various visual and audio media,

the Air Force VIDOC program records

important Air Force operations,

historical events, and activities for use

as decision making and communicative

tools. VIDOC of Air Force combat

operations is called COMCAM

documentation. Air Force publications

are available at NTIS, 5285 Port Royal

Road, Springfield, VA 22161 or online

intelligence, training, historical, public

affairs, and other needs.

(3) Sets combat training standards and

develops programs for all Air Force

COMCAM personnel (includes both

formal classroom and field readiness

training).

(4) Coordinates and meets COMCAM

needs in war, operations, and concept

personnel and equipment for

contingency or wartime deployments.

(The requester funds temporary duty

and supply costs for planned events,

such as non-JCS exercises and

competitions.)

(9) Develops and monitors the annual

Air Force-wide VI Exercise Support

Plan for the Air Staff, with assistance

from air components and supporting

MAJCOMs. (Use criteria contained in

§ 813.4(e)(1) and provide equitable

deployment opportunity for tasked

commands’ VI resources.)

(d) MAJCOM VI managers:

(1) Plan and set policy for

documenting activities of operational,

historical, public affairs, or other

significance within their commands.

(2) Train and equip VIDOC forces to

(3) Make sure COMCAM and BVISC

forces meet their wartime tasking and

identify and resolve deficiencies. Refer

64622 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 210 / Monday, October 30, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

significant deficiencies and problems

and proposed resolution to HQ AFCIC/

ITSM.

(4) Allow documentation of

significant Air Force activities and

events, regardless of their sensitivity or

classification. Protect materials as the

supported command directs. Safeguard

classified images or handle them

according to Department of Defense

(DoD) Directive 5200.1, DoD

Information Security Program, June 7,

1982, with Changes 1 and 2, and AFI

MAJCOM information systems.

(6) Assist Air Force Operations Group,

in identifying the command’s capability

to support COMCAM and VI

requirements.

(7) Provide inputs to HQ AMC/SCMV

for the annual VI Exercise Support Plan

that accurately reflect their mission and

taskings.

(9) Develop and oversee

measurements, such as operational

readiness inspection criteria, to evaluate

VI force readiness at DOC-tasked units.

§ 813.4 Combat camera operations.

(a) Air Force COMCAM forces

document Air Force and air component

activities.

(b) The supported unified command

or joint task force commander, through

the air component commander (when

assigned), controls Air Force COMCAM

forces in a joint environment. If an air

component is assigned, the air

component normally manages

documentation of its operations. Air

Force COMCAM and visual information

support for joint operations will be

proportionate to USAF combat force

participation. In airlift operations, HQ

AMC may be the supported command.

(c) During contingencies, exercises,

and other operations, the Air Force

provides its share of Unified Command

headquarters COMCAM and visual

information support forces for still

photographic, motion media, graphics,

and other VI services.

(d) COMCAM and VI forces take part

in Air Force and joint exercises to test

procedures and over-all readiness.

COMCAM and VI forces also provide VI

products to command, operations,

public affairs, historical, and other

significant customers.

(e) Sourcing COMCAM forces. See

AFMAN 10–401 for specific procedures.

(1) When VI support teams are

required, the lead wing’s VI UTC

deploys as primary, whenever possible.

If lead wing VI support is not available,

the providing command sources the

requirement from other active or reserve

component forces, or coordinates with

other MAJCOMs for assistance.

(2) Air Force VI personnel who assist

supported commands in determining

COMCAM and VI requirements and

sourcing consider the total USAF VI

community as a resource. Planners

consider employing USAF deployable

VI support teams, augmentation combat

documentation teams from

AFSPACECOM, AETC, and ACC, as

well as active and reserve COMCAM

teams.

§ 813.5 Shipping or transmitting visual

information documentation images.

(a) COMCAM images. Send COMCAM

images to the DoD Joint Combat Camera

Center, Room 5A518, Pentagon,

Washington, DC 20330–3000, by the

fastest means possible, following the

approval procedures that on-scene and

theater commanders set.

(b) Other non-COMCAM images. After

use, send significant non-COMCAM

images to the appropriate DoD media

records center through the Air Force

record center accessioning point.

(c) Identification of VIDOC materials.

Clearly identify all VIDOC and

COMCAM material with slates,

captions, and cover stories.

§ 813.6 Planning and requesting combat

documentation.

(a) Planned combat documentation.

Air components identify documentation

needs as early as possible in OPLANs,

CONPLANs, and OPORDs and send

copies of these plans to HQ AMC/

SCMV, 203 West Losey Street, Room

3180, Scott AFB, IL 62225–5223.

Include the contact for planning and

support.

(b) Activity documentation.

MAJCOMs may request that HQ AMC

document their activities. Send

information copies of requests to HQ

AFCIC/ITSM, 1250 Air Force Pentagon,

Washington, DC 20330–1250, and HQ

AMC/SCMV. When a supporting

component command operationally

controls HQ AMC COMCAM units,

other organizations that need support

must coordinate requests with the

supported command.

(c) Unplanned combat

documentation. Send short notice

requests to the supported operational

commander as soon as possible, with

information copies to HQ AFCIC/ITSM

and HQ AMC/SCMO. Identify end

product requirements, media formats,

and deadlines.

(d) Humanitarian, disaster relief, and

contingencies. Theater commanders

normally task the supporting

component through the Joint Operation

Planning and Execution System, that in

turn, requests support from HQ AMC.

HQ USAF can directly task HQ AMC to

document humanitarian, disaster relief,

or contingency activities if it does not

receive other tasking(s). In these cases,

coordinate with the supported unified

command.

§ 813.7 Readiness reporting.

All Air Force units assigned a DOC

statement report readiness status

through the SORTS process. See AFI

10–201, Status of Resources and

Training System, for specific

information and reporting criteria.
