(U) Per Ref A action request 2, Annex A has been reviewed and Post judges that all listed DoD elements are fully covered under Post's security program. ¶4. (U) HQ USEUCOM directorates, subordinate components commands, and DoD agencies are reminded to immediately notify HQ USEUCOM/EPOC and the USDR of any planned or projected introduction or removal of DoD elements from any country or region in the USEUCOM AOR. Upon notification of a planned new element, EPOC and the USDR will initiate the process of determining force protection (aka. security) responsibility (COM or commander, USEUCOM). Similarly, EPOC and the USDR will amend annexes A and B if required. National security decision directive (NSDD) 38 requires all agencies with staff operating under the authority of COM to ensure that, in coordination with DOS, the COM's approval is sought on any proposed changes in size, composition, or mandate of such staff elements. This requires DoD to formally notify the COM and DOS prior to the introduction of new DoD elements or increase in the size of elements if the COM has or will have security responsibility for such elements. ¶5. (U) IAW USEUCOM OPORD 03-11 (antiterrorism) commanders at all levels are responsible for force protection of units, activities, and facilities under their command to include those designated by CDRUSEUCOM-COM MOA as falling under the security responsibility of the commander.

These documents are available on the USEUCOM force protection homepage and serve as the formal delegation of tactical command for force protection from CDRUSEUCOM to subordinate commanders. Further delegation to establish a clear line of responsibility through the chain of command to the installation/unit level will be accomplished by component commanders and their subordinates, as appropriate. ¶6.
