PART 1. Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) Personnel
1 - PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The funds requested in this budget activity are to provide for pay and allowances, ret ired pay accrual, uniform allowances, subsistence, and permanent change of station travel (including PCS-TDY enroute) costs of Army Reserve officers and enlisted personnel serving on active duty as authorized by Title 10, United States Code, Chapter 1209. The AGR soldier is an Army Reserve member serving on active military service in the Full Time Support Program. AGRs provide direct support to prepare Reserve Components for their wartime mission. The AGR soldier works full time for the purposes of organizing, administering, recruiting, instructing, or training the Army Reserve. AGRs deploy keeping reserve units filled with qualified personnel, a vital aspect of readiness. Over the past several years, more and more Active Army missions have been transferred to the Army Reserve. these missions because full time support personnel have been available to support reserve unit commanders. The Army has been able to meet
AGR soldiers must meet the same standards as soldiers in the Active Army. They compete against each other, members of the Individual Reserve, and troop program unit members for promotion. They serve in areas that are generally remote from an Active Army installation. AGR soldiers can achieve active retirement (Title 11) under this program. The Active Guard and Reserve Program consists of the following categories: a. Personnel/Finance Support. Provides Army Reserve personnel to administer and operate the USAR pay (DJMS-RC) and personnel systems (SIDPERS). The DJMS-RC pay system processes payments for USAR troop program unit personnel taking part in Inactive Duty Training (IDT). b. Readiness Support: Provides USAR personnel at Active Army installations or headquarters elements to accomplish special purpose functions relating to USAR operations, administration, and logistical requirements. c. Recruiting: Provides USAR personnel at Major Army Commands, Region Recruiting Commands, District Recruiting Commands and recruiting stations to operate the USAR recruiting programs. d. Retention: retention program. e. Provides USAR personnel at Major Army commands, Continental US Armies, and Major USAR Command levels to operate the USAR
Unit Full Time Support:
Provides USAR personnel to troop program units specifically to increase readiness/mobilization capability.

Separations:
This section addresses transition enhancements and transition initiatives for the USAR identified by P.L. 102-484, Title 44, Subtitle A & B. USAR AGR soldiers are authorized the same transition enhancements as the Active Army. Special Separation Benefit, Voluntary Separation Incentive, and Temporary Early Retirement Authority may be offered to encourage voluntary separations to aid in reducing and shaping the force. Guard and Reserve Component Transition Benefits are available for USAR soldiers who involuntarily lose their Selective Reserve Status due to force reductions during the Force Reduction Transition Period. Transition Initiatives and Benefits available are summarized as follows: Special Separation Benefit (SSB): Officer and Enlisted costs associated with AGR personnel, who have more than six years of service but less than twenty, who voluntarily leave active duty, or who elect to receive the SSB. Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSI): Officer and Enlisted costs associated with AGR personnel, who have more than six years of service but less than twenty, who voluntarily leave active duty, and who elect to receive the VSI. Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA): Officer and Enlisted costs associated with AGR personnel, who have more than six years of service but less than twenty, who voluntarily elect to retire. Reserve Involuntary Separation Pay (RISP): Officer and Enlisted Troop Program Units (TPU's), who have more than six years of service but less than 15 years and who are involuntarily separated or transferred from the Selective Reserve. Reserve Special Separation Pay (RSSP): Officer and enlisted TPUs having more than twenty years service, who qualify for non-regular retirement at age 60 but are not yet 60, who are involuntarily separated or transferred from the Selective Reserve, and who transfer into the Retired Reserve. Also includes all RSSP anniversary payments associated with Army National Guard soldiers who have transferred to the Retired Reserve as a result of this benefit.

may enter a private dwelling for the purpose of making an apprehension under these rules unless: (A) Pursuant to consent under Mil. R. Evid. 314(e) of 316(d)(2); (B) Under exigent circumstances described in Mil. R. Evid. 315(g) or 316(d)(4)(B); (C) In the case of a private dwelling which is military property or under military control, or nonmilitary property in a foreign country. (i) if the person to be apprehended is a resident of the private dwelling, there exists, at the time of the entry, reason to believe that the person to be apprehended is present in the dwelling, and the apprehension has been authorized by an official listed in Mil. R. Evid. 315(d) upon a determination that probable cause to apprehend the person exists; or (ii) if the person to be apprehended is not a resident of the private dwelling, the entry has been authorized by an official listed in Mil. R. Evid. 315(d) upon a determination that probable cause exists to apprehend the person and to believe that the person to be apprehended is or will be present at the time of the entry; (D) In the case of a private dwelling not included in subsection (e)(2)(C) of this rule, (i) if the person to be apprehended is a resident of the private dwelling, there exists at the time of the entry, reason to believe that the person to be apprehended is present and the apprehension is authorized by an arrest warrant issued by competent civilian authority; or (ii) if the person to be apprehended is not a resident of the private dwelling, the apprehension is authorized by an arrest warrant and the entry is authorized by a search warrant, each issued by competent civilian authority. A person who is not a resident of the private dwelling entered may not challenge the legality of an apprehension of that person on the basis of failure to secure a warrant or authorization to enter that dwelling, or on the basis of the sufficiency of such a warrant or authorization. Nothing in this subsection ((e)(2)) affects the legality of an apprehension which is incident to otherwise lawful presence in a private dwelling. Discussion
For example, if law enforcement officials enter a private dwelling pursuant to a valid search warrant or search authoriza-
tion, they may apprehend persons therein if grounds for an apprehension exist. This subsection is not intended to be an independent grant of authority to execute civilian arrest or search warrants. The authority must derive from an appropriate Federal or state procedure. See e.g. Fed. R. Crim. P. 41 and 28 C.F.R. 60.1.
Rule 303. Preliminary inquiry into reported offenses Upon receipt of information that a member of the command is accused or suspected of committing an offense or offenses triable by court-martial, the immediate commander shall make or cause to be made a preliminary inquiry into the charges or suspected offenses. Discussion
The preliminary inquiry is usually informal. It may be an examination of the charges and an investigative report or other summary of expected evidence. In other cases a more extensive investigation may be necessary. Although the commander may conduct the investigation personally or with members of the command, in serious or complex cases the commander should consider whether to seek the assistance of law enforcement personnel in conducting any inquiry or further investigation. The inquiry should gather all reasonably available evidence bearing on guilt or innocence and any evidence relating to aggravation, extenuation, or mitigation. The Military Rules of Evidence should be consulted when conducting interrogations (see Mil. R. Evid. 301-306), searches (see Mil. R. Evid. 311-317), and eyewitness identifications (see Mil. R. Evid. 321). If the offense is one for which the Department of Justice has investigative responsibilities, appropriate coordination should be made under the Memorandum of Understanding, see Appendix 3, and any implementing regulations. If it appears that any witness may not be available for later proceedings in the case, this should be brought to the attention of appropriate authorities. See also R.C.M. 702 (depositions). A person who is an accuser (see Article 1(9)) is disqualified from convening a general or special court-martial in that case. R.C.M. 504(c)(1). Therefore, when the immediate commander is a general or special court-martial convening authority, the preliminary inquiry should be conducted by another officer of the command. That officer may be informed that charges may be preferred if the officer determines that preferral is warranted.
Rule 304. Pretrial restraint (a) Types of pretrial restraint. Pretrial restraint is moral or physical restraint on a person's liberty which is imposed before and during disposition of offenses. Pretrial restraint may consist of conditions

(l) Confinement after release. No person whose release from pretrial confinement has been directed by a person authorized in subsection (g) of this rule may be confined again before completion of trial except upon the discovery, after the order of release, of evidence or of misconduct which, either alone or in conjunction with all other available evidence, justifies confinement. Discussion
See R.C.M. 304(b) concerning who may order confinement.
has discretion to dispose of offenses by members of that command. Ordinarily the immediate commander of a person accused or suspected of committing an offense triable by court-martial initially determines how to dispose of that offense. A superior commander may withhold the authority to dispose of offenses in individual cases, types of cases, or generally. A superior commander may not limit the discretion of a subordinate commander to act on cases over which authority has not been withheld. Discussion
Each commander in the chain of command has independent, yet overlapping discretion to dispose of offenses within the limits of that officer's authority. Normally, in keeping with the policy in subsection (b) of this rule, the initial disposition decision is made by the official at the lowest echelon with the power to make it. A decision by a commander ordinarily does not bar a different disposition by a superior authority. See R.C.M. 401(c); 601(f). Once charges are referred to a court-martial by a convening authority competent to do so, they may be withdrawn from that court-martial only in accordance with R.C.M. 604. See Appendix 3 with respect to offenses for which coordination with the Department of Justice is required.
(m) Exceptions. (1) Operational necessity. The Secretary of Defense may suspend application of subsections (e)(2) and (3), (f), (h)(2)(A) and (C), and (i) of this rule to specific units or in specified areas when operational requirements of such units or in such areas would make application of such provisions impracticable. (2) At sea. Subsections (e)(2) and (3), (f), (h)(2)(C), and (i) of this rule shall not apply in the case of a person on board a vessel at sea. In such situations, confinement on board the vessel at sea may continue only until the person can be transferred to a confinement facility ashore. Such transfer shall be accomplished at the earliest opportunity permitted by the operational requirements and mission of the vessel. Upon such transfer the memorandum required by subsection (h)(2)(C) of this rule shall be transmitted to the reviewing officer under subsection (i) of this rule and shall include an explanation of any delay in the transfer. Discussion
Under this subsection the standards for confinement remain the same (although the circumstances giving rise to the exception could bear on the application of those standards). Also, pretrial confinement remains subject to judicial review. The prisoner's commander still must determine whether confinement will continue under subsection (h)(2)(B) of this rule. The suspension of subsection (h)(2)(A) of this rule removes the 72-hour requirement since in a combat environment, the commander may not be available to comply with it. The commander must make the pretrial confinement decision as soon as reasonably possible, however. (This provision is not suspended under subsection (2) since the commander of a vessel is always available.)
(b) Policy. Allegations of offenses should be disposed of in a timely manner at the lowest appropriate level of disposition listed in subsection (c) of this rule. Discussion
The disposition decision is one of the most important and difficult decisions facing a commander. Many factors must be taken into consideration and balanced, including, to the extent practicable, the nature of the offenses, any mitigating or extenuating circumstances, the character and military service of the accused, any recommendations made by subordinate commanders, the interest of justice, military exigencies, and the effect of the decision on the accused and the command. The goal should be a disposition that is warranted, appropriate, and fair. In deciding how an offense should be disposed of, factors the commander should consider, to the extent they are known, include: (A) the character and military service of the accused; (B) the nature of and circumstances surrounding the offense and the extent of the harm caused by the offense, including the offense's effect on morale, health, safety, welfare, and discipline; (C) appropriateness of the authorized punishment to the particular accused or offense; (D) possible improper motives of the accuser; (E) reluctance of the victim or others to testify; (F) cooperation of the accused in the apprehension or conviction of others; II-25

counseling, admonition, reprimand, exhortation, disapproval, criticism, censure, reproach, rebuke, extra military instruction, or the administrative withholding of privileges, or any combination of the above. Discussion
Other administrative measures, which are subject to regulations of the Secretary concerned, include matters related to efficiency reports, academic reports, and other ratings; rehabilitation and reassignment; career field reclassification; administrative reduction for inefficiency; bar to reenlistment; personnel reliability program reclassification; security classification changes; pecuniary liability for negligence or misconduct; and administrative separation.
(c) How offenses may be disposed of. Within the limits of the commander's authority, a commander may take the actions set forth in this subsection to initially dispose of a charge or suspected offense. Discussion
Prompt disposition of charges is essential. See R.C.M. 707 (speedy trial requirements). Before determining an appropriate disposition, a commander should ensure that a preliminary inquiry under R.C.M. 303 has been conducted. If charges have not already been preferred, the commander may, if appropriate, prefer them and dispose of them under this rule. But see R.C.M. 601 (c) regarding disqualification of an accuser. If charges have been preferred, the commander should ensure that the accused has been notified in accordance with R.C.M. 308, and that charges are in proper form. See R.C.M. 307. Each commander who forwards or disposes of charges may make minor changes therein. See R.C.M. 603(a) and (b). If major changes are necessary, the affected charge should be preferred anew. See R.C.M. 603(d). When charges are brought against two or more accused with a view to a joint or common trial, see R.C.M. 307(c)(5); 601(e)(3). If it appears that the accused may lack mental capacity to stand trial or may not have been mentally responsible at the times of the offenses, see R.C.M. 706; 909; 916(k).
(3) Nonjudicial punishment. A commander may consider the matter pursuant to Article 15, nonjudicial punishment. See Part V. (4) Disposition of charges. Charges may be disposed of in accordance with R.C.M. 401. Discussion
If charges have not been preferred, they may be preferred. See R.C.M. 307 concerning preferral of charges. However, see R.C.M. 601(c) concerning disqualification of an accuser. Charges may be disposed of by dismissing them, forwarding them to another commander for disposition, or referring them to a summary, special, or general court-martial. Before charges may be referred to a general court-martial, compliance with R.C.M. 405 and 406 is necessary. Therefore, if appropriate, an investigation under R.C.M. 405 may be directed. Additional guidance on these matters is found in R.C.M. 401-407.
(1) No action. A commander may decide to take no action on an offense. If charges have been preferred, they may be dismissed. Discussion
A decision to take no action or dismissal of charges at this stage does not bar later disposition of the offenses under subsection (c)(2) through (5) of this rule. See R.C.M. 401(a) concerning who may dismiss charges, and R.C.M. 401(c)(1) concerning dismissal of charges. When a decision is made to take no action, the accused should be informed.
(5) Forwarding for disposition. A commander may forward a matter concerning an offense, or charges, to a superior or subordinate authority for disposition. Discussion
The immediate commander may lack authority to take action which that commander believes is an appropriate disposition. In such cases, the matter should be forwarded to a superior officer with a recommendation as to disposition. See also R.C.M. 401(c)(2) concerning forwarding charges. If allegations are forwarded to a higher authority for disposition, because of lack of authority or otherwise, the disposition decision becomes a matter within the discretion of the higher authority. A matter may be forwarded for other reasons, such as for investigation of allegations and preferral of charges, if warranted (see R.C.M. 303; 307), or so that a subordinate can dispose of the matter.
(2) Administrative action. A commander may take or initiate administrative action, in addition to or instead of other action taken under this rule, subject to regulations of the Secretary concerned. Administrative actions include corrective measures such as

11. Purpose This regulation-- a. Prescribes Department of the Army policy on criminal investigation activities, including the utilization, control, and investigative authority and responsibilities of all personnel assigned to criminal investigation (CID) elements. b. Constitutes the basic authority for the conduct of criminal investigations, crime prevention surveys, protective service missions, and the collection, retention, and dissemination of criminal information. c. Delineates responsibility and authority between military police and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC). 12. References Required and related publications are listed in appendix A. 13. Explanation of abbreviations and terms Abbreviations and special terms used in this regulation are explained in the glossary. 14. Responsibilities a. The Commanding General, USACIDC, will-- (1) Establish policies for the release of information from, and the amendment of, criminal investigation records and reports of investigations. (2) Evaluate Army law enforcement polygraph program activities and provide membership on DOD polygraph committees. (3) Maintain overall responsibility for Army investigations of offenses involving "controlled substances" as defined in 21 U.S.C. 812. (4) Plan for and provide CID support for each contingency plan maintained by HQDA and its subordinate commands. Plans for criminal investigative support will be coordinated with the commander responsible for the overall contingency plan. b. The Commanding General, U.S. Army Training and Doctrinal Command (TRADOC) is responsible for the formal training of USACIDC personnel at TRADOC schools as necessary to meet the requirements of USACIDC. c. The Commanding General, U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) is responsible for the formal training of USACIDC personnel at AMC schools as necessary to meet the requirements of USACIDC. d. Within their respective areas of responsibilities, major Army commanders and subordinate commanders will support the Army CID program by providing facilities and support required by the USACIDC mission and authorized by applicable regulations or memoranda of understanding to assist the USACIDC in meeting the criminal investigative, crime prevention, and protective service requirements of subordinate commands, installations, and other supported Army activities. e. CID elements at all levels will provide statistical data to supported commands relative to the number and types of serious crimes and incidents investigated, subjects identified, value of property stolen or recovered, and other information reflecting the status of discipline, law, and order necessary for the completion of reports required by HQDA (e.g., DA Form 2819, Law Enforcement and Discipline Report). Statistical data necessary to support locally established reports may be provided within the administrative and record keeping capabilities of the supporting CID element. f. Commanders or supervisors receiving CID reports for action will take the following actions: (1) Commanders or supervisors receiving action copies of final CID Reports of Investigation (ROI) pertaining to a member of their organization are required to-- (a) Reply within 60 days through local command channels (using
DA Form 4833, Commander's Report of Disciplinary or Administrative Action), to the USACIDC element preparing the ROI, indicating the judicial, nonjudicial, or administrative action, or lack thereof, taken against persons listed in the title block of the final ROI who are under their supervision or command. Changes to judicial, nonjudicial, or administrative action resulting from subsequent appellate action will also be reported by commanders and supervisors to the USACIDC. The report of action taken is necessasry to ensure completion of investigative files and to protect the rights of individuals involved. (b) Notify all persons listed in the title block, who have no action taken against them, that their name will remain in the title block of the report and that the report will be indexed, and, therefore, retrievable by their name. Individuals will also be informed of the purposes for which the reports are used (e.g., other criminal investigations, security clearances, other purposes as authorized by the Privacy Act and AR 34021) and the fact that such use may have an impact upon their military or civilian careers. Individuals will be informed also that the removal of their name from the title block or other amendment of the report may be accomplished only by submitting a written request to the Director, U.S. Army Crime Records Center, 2301 Chesapeake Ave, Baltimore, MD 212224099. Requests for amendment will be considered only as set forth in paragraph 44. (2) Commanders or supervisors of activities, facilities, units, or installations who have received a crime prevention survey by the USACIDC will furnish a report of corrective action taken or a statement that no corrective action was taken as a result of the survey. This report of corrective action must be forwarded by the commanders or supervisors through local command channels to the commander two levels above the activity, unit, facility, or installation surveyed within 90 days of the date of the survey, but in no case will reports be forwarded above MACOM level. An information copy of the corrective actions will be provided the appropriate USACIDC field element within 90 days of the date of the survey. A report of corrective action is not required for crime prevention survey when-- (a) Requested by the commanders or supervisors of activities, facilities, units, or installations. (b) Conducted in support of a crime prevention program. (c) Crime conducive conditions are not identified. 15. Investigative policies a. The USACIDC is the sole agency within the United States Army responsible for the investigation of felonies, except as otherwise prescribed in this regulation and AR 19030. USACIDC directives and policies as they relate to criminal investigation activities will be followed by all CID personnel and elements throughout the United States Army. b. Offenses will be reported as follows: (1) Commanders will ensure that criminal incidents or allegations in the Army affecting or involving persons subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, civilian employees of the Department of Defense if related to their assigned duties or position, government property under Army jurisdiction, or those incidents occurring in areas under Army control are reported to military police or security police in accordance with AR 21010, paragraph 219. Information indicating a violation of AR 60050 or the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that develops into possible criminal activity will also be reported to the military police or security police. (2) Barracks larcenies of property of a value of less than $1,000 and simple assaults occurring in unit areas and not resulting in hospitalization will be reported to law enforcement activities for statistical and crime reporting purposes, but a law enforcement investigation is not required. Unit commanders will take appropriate action on these incidents. A law enforcement investigation will normally be conducted only when it is considered necessary by the provost marshal or security officer; commander, CID element; or when requested by a field grade commander in the chain of command of the unit concerned. Nothing in this regulation will be 1

construed to allow the withholding of medical treatment to avoid MP or CID involvement. c. Military police and security police will promptly refer all crimes or incidents falling within CID investigative responsibility to the appropriate CID element for investigation. Initially, notification will normally be accomplished by direct contact between the military police or security police desk sergeant and the supporting CID unit. Formal referral will be by DA Form 3975, Military Police Report. This form will also be used by the USACIDC to report acceptance or declination of the investigation. d. Commanders of installations or activities without assigned military police or security police will report criminal incidents or allegations to the supporting USACIDC element or the supporting military police or security police as appropriate. e. The USACIDC will determine appropriate investigative action in accordance with this regulation for all criminal incidents or allegations reported to it or developed through its own sources. Necessary reports will be prepared reflecting the results thereof. f. The USACIDC element receiving reports of criminal incidents or allegations from other than military police or security police will notify the appropriate provost marshal or security officer of the incident, unless such notification will compromise the investigation. (See para 314.) g. Title 28, U.S.C., Section 535, requires that any information, allegation, or complaint relating to violations of title 18, U.S. Code, involving Government officials and employees will be reported expeditiously to the Department of Justice, unless the responsibility to investigate the matter is conferred upon the DOD (e.g., an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)) or as otherwise provided by law or agreement with the Attorney General (e.g., the DOD/DOJ Memorandum of Understanding). (1) For violations in the United States, the normal method of referral and consultation with the appropriate Department Of Justice agency (e.g., FBI, U.S. Attorney) on all such violations involving either military or civilian personnel established pursuant to AR 2710, chapter 2, will suffice and should be used. (2) In the case of overseas violations or loss or injury to the United States that affect Armed Forces activities, and which involve any civilian as a suspect or subject, whether or not such person is a DOD employee (e.g., a defense contractor), a full report on the nature and apparent scope of the violation, loss, or injury will be provided through USACIDC channels. Headquarters, USACIDC, will notify DOJ through DAJALT as appropriate. A prompt initial notification should be submitted through USACIDC channels in all instances involving bribery or conflict of interest and in those instances of fraud, theft, and unlawful destruction of Government property when the loss to the United States exceeds or is expected to exceed $1,000. h. Information concerning purely political activities and personalities, or disorders in which no crime is indicated or suspected will not be collected, recorded or reported by the USACIDC. i. Continuous criminal investigation-military intelligence liaison will be maintained. Information concerning an offense or incident involving any person having access to classified defense information will be expeditiously provided to the proper military intelligence (MI) representative. Similarly, in accordance with AR 38110 and AR 38120, MI components are obliged to expeditiously report criminal information to the appropriate military law enforcement authority. Certain intelligence-related crimes such as actual or alleged espionage, treason, or sedition may present situations where MI and CID have concurrent investigative jurisdiction. The primary responsibility of MI is to investigate such incidents for intelligence and security-related purposes. CID shares the responsibility to investigate the incident for the purpose of reporting crime within Army investigative jurisdiction. The lead agency concept will be employed, based on coordination with the proper MI component, to determine the agency to undertake primary investigative responsibility. Generally, MI will take the investigative lead to first exhaust all intelligence or security dimensions of an incident before investigation for possible criminal prosecution is initiated. In situations such
as known or suspected sabotage, when immediate evaluation of a crime scene is of paramount importance, the USACIDC should take the investigative lead. j. The receiving USACIDC element will refer information related to systemic weaknesses or managerial deficiencies not of a criminal nature to the appropriate Inspector General office, in accordance with AR 201, appendix D. k. Criminal information will be handled as follows: (1) The USACIDC has primary responsibility to operate a criminal information program. The program will be designed to obtain, record, process, and disseminate information concerning criminal activities directed against, involving, or affecting U.S. Army operations, material or personnel. The program will also develop, analyze, and report on the methods of operations used in criminal activities and assess the vulnerability of Army activities to crime. The focus of the criminal information program will be the detection, analysis, and prevention of criminal activity affecting the Army. Information gathered may be factual, fragmentary, or unsubstantiated. (2) The USACIDC criminal investigation information gathering activities are not "counter-intelligence related" and are excluded from the provisions of AR 38013. AR 38013 restrictions are applicable to any information acquired through criminal investigations or criminal investigation activities which is not related to law enforcement or crime prevention. Criminal information files will be maintained and reviewed in accordance with AR 38018. Safeguards will be established to preclude unauthorized release of information. (3) CID units will ensure that within their area of responsibility there is close coordination and mutual exchange of criminal information between their unit and other military and civilian law enforcement agencies on matters of common interest. Source confidentiality will be maintained. (4) In no case will criminal information be restricted to CID channels when that information provides strong indications that an offense is imminent and the commission of that offense will affect the safety or security of U.S. Army operations, personnel or material. Release will be made only to the extent necessary to prevent the commission of the offense. (5) Information concerning criminal activity of interest to U.S. Government agencies other than the Department of Defense and other law enforcement agencies will be reported to the appropriate agency. In overseas areas where representatives of other Federal investigative agencies are not present, information of interest to those agencies will be forwarded to the Commander, USACIDC, ATTN: CIOPZA, 5611 Columbia Pike, Falls Church, VA 220415015 for appropriate dissemination. All releases of information under this provision will be in accordance with AR 34021. (6) Criminal information about an individual may be disseminated outside law enforcement channels only to those persons whose official duties create a definite and identifiable need for them to have access. Dissemination will be made to the minimum number of persons possible. All releases of information under this provision will be in accordance with AR 34021. l. The contents of Army investigative files will be restricted to information that is necessary and relevant to authorized criminal investigation and law enforcement information gathering activities. m. Collateral reports of investigations (transmitting reports of criminal investigations received from civilian agencies) pertaining to offenses within USACIDC's normal investigative responsibility will be forwarded by provost marshals or security officers in accordance with AR 19045 to the U.S. Army Crime Records Center. An information copy of the DA Form 3975, with the civilian police report as an enclosure, will be provided to the supporting CID element to ensure the receipt of criminal information. When the overall interests of the Army would be best served, the USACIDC may assume collateral reporting responsibility for any particular offpost investigation by notifying the appropriate provost marshal or security officer. n. All requests for USACIDC elements to become involved in missions or tasks not enumerated in AR 1023 or this regulation

will be referred to the Commanding General, USACIDC, ATTN: CIOPZA.
Chapter 2 USACIDC Organization
21. General a. The USACIDC is a major Army command of the Department of the Army. (See AR 105 and AR 1023.) It is composed of a command headquarters, forensic laboratories, the U.S. Army Crime Records Center, the U.S. Army Protective Services Activity, and worldwide field investigative units. b. In non-tactical situations, each USACIDC unit is normally a tenant activity at an Army installation, providing investigative support to the installation commander as well as to the commanders of all other Army elements located within a USACIDC specified geographic area of responsibility. The commander or special agentin-charge at each unit provides advice and guidance on all CID matters to supported commanders and provost marshals or security officers. 22. CID support to the Army in the field a. During tactical operations and field exercises and in active theaters of operation, the Commanding General, USACIDC, will provide CID support to tactical units and their supporting elements under one of the following options: (1) General support. CID support is provided to the supported force in a given geographic area by CID elements under command and control of a USACIDC headquarters. (2) Direct support. CID support is provided by a USACIDC element on a dedicated support basis to the supported organization, although the CID element is neither attached to nor under the command or control of the supported organization. (3) Attachment. USACIDC elements are temporarily placed under the command and control of the supported commander. Reassignment, promotion, and accreditation responsibilities are retained by the USACIDC. b. The selection of the method of support will be coordinated between the appropriate USACIDC headquarters and the headquarters planning for the contingency or operation. Final approval concerning the attachment of USACIDC elements rests with the Commanding General, USACIDC. The commander of the supported tactical force will provide necessary logistical and administrative support to CID elements when attached or in direct support. c. Regardless of the support option selected, criminal investigations will be conducted, prepared, administered, reported, and distributed in accordance with AR 1023, AR 1951, appropriate provisions of this regulation, and applicable USACIDC regulations and directives.
the Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice relating to the investigation and prosecution of certain crimes). Generally, an Army interest exists when one or more of the following apply: (1) The crime is committed on a military installation or facility. (2) There is a reasonable basis to believe that a suspect may be subject to the UCMJ. (3) There is a reasonable basis to believe that a suspect may be a civilian employee of DOD who has committed an offense in connection with his or her assigned duties. (4) The Army is the victim of the crime; e.g., the offense involves the loss or destruction of government property or allegations of fraud (as defined in DOD instructions concerning the criminal investigation of fraud offenses) relating to Army programs or personnel. (5) There is a need to protect personnel, property, or activities on Army installations from criminal conduct on military installations that has a direct adverse effect on the Army's ability to accomplish its mission; e.g., the introduction of controlled substances onto Army installations. 32. USACIDC investigative responsibility a. Inside CONUS, Alaska, and Hawaii, the USACIDC will normally exercise investigative responsibility for those offenses listed in appendix B and which are within the Army's investigative authority. However, when Federal, State, or local civil law enforcement authorities have concurrent jurisdiction, investigative responsibility will be determined in coordination with that authority. When concurrent jurisdiction or authority to investigate exists and neither the Army nor the civil authorities accede to the other's primary responsibility to investigate, both may pursue the investigation in fulfillment of their respective interests, with neither impeding the other. b. Outside CONUS, the USACIDC will normally have investigative responsibility for those offenses listed in appendix B which are also within the Army's investigative authority, and when investigation would not be prohibited by status of forces agreements or other host country laws. In the absence of any agreement, the USACIDC will investigate offenses after coordination with appropriate host country authorities. 33. Investigative responsibility of the USACIDC and military police a. The USACIDC is responsible for investigating those Armyrelated felonies (offenses punishable by death or confinement for more than 1 year) listed in appendix B. Exceptions to this general policy are described in paragraphs a(1) through (10) below and 34. (1) Property-related offenses. The USACIDC is responsible for investigating property-related offenses when the value of the property taken, destroyed, or damage inflicted is $1,000 or more (except as listed in app B) or when the property is of a sensitive nature (app G). A preliminary investigation by the USACIDC is also required for purposes of determining criminal intent in the case of lost sensitive arms, ammunition, and explosives when the quantities involved meet the thresholds in AR 19011, appendix A. (See AR 19011, para 720,a(1)(b)). Military police are responsible for investigating property-related offenses when the value is less than $1,000. When requested by a supported commander, the USACIDC may investigate property crimes of lesser value, such as a series of minor larcenies which appears to be the work of an organized group. (2) Drug offenses. The USACIDC has overall responsibility for offenses involving controlled substances. Use and possession of non-narcotic controlled substances in amounts indicative only of personal use are normally investigated by military police, whereas the USACIDC investigates use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances classified as narcotics, and the distribution of non-narcotic controlled substances. When appropriate, the investigation by a joint CID/MP team of all drug offenses on an installation is recommended. This can be accomplished with the primary investigative and reporting procedures of the military police
Chapter 3 Criminal Investigation Activities
Section I General 31. Investigative authority of the Army a. Investigative authority refers to matters concerning which the Army has the legal authority (jurisdiction) to conduct a criminal investigation. Investigative responsibility refers to those matters within the Army's overall investigative authority which the USACIDC has responsibility to ensure are properly investigated. b. The Army has investigative authority whenever an Army interest exists and investigative authority has not been specifically reserved to another agency (see para 36 below; AR 201,app D; and

and CID remaining unchanged. This approach fosters better coordination and is encouraged when deemed in the best interest of the overall drug suppression effort. (3) Misdemeanors. The USACIDC retains investigative responsibility for a limited number of misdemeanors due to the complex nature of the investigation required. Such offenses are reflected in appendix B. (4) Noncombat deaths. The USACIDC is responsible for investigating noncombat deaths to the extent necessary to determine whether criminality is involved. (5) Military offenses. Certain military offenses, such as misbehavior as a sentinal or disrespect, will not normally be investigated either by the USACIDC or the military police. However, when the significance of the incident or the complexity of the facts dictate, the USACIDC or the military police may assume investigative responsibility. (6) Crimes affecting Reserve Components. Crimes in which a Reserve component is affected by fraud, theft, diversion, or destruction of United States Government funds or property may be investigated by the USACIDC. Other cases affecting a U.S. Army interest may be investigated pursuant to instructions of the Commanding General, USACIDC. (7) War crimes. The USACIDC is responsible for investigating suspected war crimes when a violation of the UCMJ listed in appendix B is indicated or when otherwise directed by HQDA. (8) Adultery and fraternization. When they are the only offenses involved, adultery and fraternization will not normally be investigated by either the USACIDC or military police. The offenses will be reported by military police (using DA Form 3975) through command channels to the appropriate commander. (9) Offenses involving senior personnel. The USACIDC will investigate any felony offense involving senior level personnel (active duty general or flag officer, member of the Senior Executive Service (SES), or Executive Schedule personnel) as subjects without regard for the limitations imposed in appendix B. Other offenses involving these personnel as subjects may be investigated by the USACIDC if the sensitivity of the incident or complexity of the matter so dictates. (10) Aggravated assaults. The USACIDC is responsible for investigating aggravated assaults which result in the victim being hospitalized for treatment (not mere observation) for a period of more than 24 hours. All other aggravated assaults will be investigated by military police. b. The USACIDC may conduct a preliminary investigation as required to determine whether the USACIDC has investigative authority or responsibility or whether there is an Army interest in the matter. If the preliminary investigation reveals that one or more of the foregoing is lacking, the matter will be referred to the appropriate action agency. 34. Assumption of investigative responsibility by the USACIDC The USACIDC may assume responsibility for investigating any criminal offense within the investigative authority on the Army when appropriate to a related investigation or to further the law enforcement or crime prevention goals of the Army. When the USACIDC assumes control of an investigation from the military police and initiates an ROI, the investigation will be carried through to conclusion by the USACIDC. Conducting a preliminary investigation does not presuppose assuming control of an investigation. 35. Agreements between the USACIDC and provost marshals or security elements Modification of investigative responsibility by mutual agreement is not authorized at a local or MACOM level. Memoranda of understanding establishing drug suppression teams and delineating their logistical and administrative support are, however, authorized.
36. Referral of investig
