SAEDA
Subversion and Espionage Directed Against the US Army is a program directed by Army Regulation 381-12 (U). The regulation, published January 15, 1993, has three chapters and two appendices. The SAEDA program was created in order to combat Adversarial Intelligence (ADVINT), Industrial Espionage, and Terrorism during both peace and war. Purpose. This regulation establishes policy, responsibilities, and procedures for the recognition and prompt reporting of incidents of attempted or actual espionage, subversion, sabotage, and terrorism directed against the U.S. Army and its personnel; of illegal diversion of technology; unauthorized intrusion into automated information systems; unauthorized disclosure of classified  information; and other incidents of a counterintelligence (CI) nature. This regulation establishes the requirement for CI awareness and education. The Army’s program for CI awareness, education, and reporting is known collectively as Subversion and Espionage Directed against the U.S. Army (SAEDA). The goal of the SAEDA program is to secure the assistance of every Department of the Army (DA) member in the deterrence and detection of intelligence and terrorist threats to the Army. SAEDA applies to all DA personnel (military, civilian, and contractors) and all members of the US National Guard and Reserves. Punishment. All service members are subject  to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice as well as to adverse administrative or other adverse action authorized by applicable provisions of the United States Code or federal regulations.
