SECTION A--AIA INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT PROGRAM

1. Introduction. Intelligence oversight encompasses two fundamental concerns. The first concern is to obtain the intelligence information required to protect national security. The second concern is to protect individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the United States. The primary objective of the AIA Intelligence Oversight Program is to ensure AIA units and major staff offices collect, retain, and disseminate intelligence without violating the rights of US persons while securing information dominance for the Air Force and national decision makers.

2. Conduct of Intelligence Activities. Information concerning the capabilities, intentions, and activities of foreign militaries and their governments is essential in supporting the Air Force and the commander in chief warfighting abilities. The measures used to acquire such information must be responsive to the legitimate needs of the US government and must be conducted in a manner that abides by the legal and constitutional rights of US persons.

2.1. This instruction directs AIA personnel, regardless of specialty or job function, who could possibly come in contact with data collected on US persons to be knowledgeable of, and adhere to, the restrictions and procedures in AFI 14-101 and DoDR 5240.1-R.

SECTION B--RESPONSIBILITIES

3. The Director of Operations (HQ AIA/DO):

3.1. Establishes agency intelligence oversight policy and procedures.

3.2. Responds to queries from field units; coordinates with Intelligence Oversight Program managers of the wing, centers, and groups; and coordinates with the Inspector General (HQ AIA/IG) before release. Monitors queries, performs trend analysis, and publishes intelligence oversight guidance when required.

3.3. Coordinates on queries and authorized deviations with national agencies and informs those authorized deviations to HQ AIA/IG and HQ United States Air Force, Intelligence (HQ USAF/IN).

3.4. Provides a vehicle to inform AIA units of intelligence oversight matters. Provides a quarterly intelligence oversight input to the Security Office (HQ AIA/SO) for AIARP 31-401, The Shield.

3.5. Monitors intelligence oversight incident reporting and Quality Air Force Assessment (QAFA) reports, performing trend analysis and publishing intelligence oversight guidance when required.

3.6. Ensures that personnel assigned to AIA receive training (see section C).

3.7. Designates Headquarters Intelligence Oversight Training monitors and provides training monitors with AIA intelligence oversight continuity folders.

3.8. Conducts periodic staff assistance visits (SAV) to centers, wing, and groups to ensure staff elements are managing their programs according to current directives and instructions.

4. HQ AIA/IG:

4.1. Conducts recurring evaluations of unit programs through QAFA to ensure program compatibility with intelligence oversight directives and command guidance.

4.2. Serves as focal point for reporting intelligence oversight incidents and suspected violations.

4.3. Prepares quarterly reports to (SAF/IGI) according to AFI 14-101.

5. Wing, Groups, and Centers Responsibilities. The 67 IW, NAIC, AFIWC, 544 IG, and the 497 IG:

5.1. Appoint by letter, primary and alternate program monitors to serve as focal points for their subordinate units on intelligence oversight matters.

5.2. Review all mission taskings and requirements assigned to their subordinate units to ensure compliance to intelligence oversight directives.

5.3. Direct subordinate units to establish an intelligence oversight education and training program that is tailored to their respective collection discipline and collection methodology. Encourage standardization where appropriate.

5.4. Ensure that the staff of the wing, groups, and centers are familiar with the Intelligence Oversight Program.

5.5. Forward copies of unit directives and operating instructions to HQ AIA/DO.

5.6. Conduct periodic SAVs to ensure that personnel understand and comply with directives and procedures.

5.7. Ensure that training is accomplished (see section C).

5.8. Maintain all pertinent regulations and directives.

6. AIA Units:

6.1. Appoint by letter, primary and alternate program monitors. Unit program monitors are the focal point for all intelligence oversight matters. They are responsible for conducting initial and refresher training as described in section C.

6.2. Send copies of appointment letters and unit directives to HQ AIA/DO.

6.3. Establish a unit Intelligence Oversight Program tailored to their respective collection discipline and collection methodology that reflects local policies and procedures.

6.4. Maintain pertinent regulations and directives.

SECTION C--TRAINING

7. Requirements. AIA personnel are required to receive initial and annual refresher training. This training ensures that unit personnel are familiar with the Intelligence Oversight Program to include understanding under what circumstances organizations can collect, retain, and disseminate intelligence on US persons. Unit personnel are required to become familiar with reporting procedures for suspected violations. This training is documented and tracked.

7.1. Initial Training. Incoming personnel receive their initial training during the security indoctrination. Unit program monitors prepare the briefing and document the training.

7.1.1. For units where USSID 18 provisions apply, include intelligence oversight on each position Master Task List, specifying local procedures and authorized deviations. Ensure that job-specific intelligence oversight questions are included on position qualification evaluations.

7.2. Refresher Training. Unit monitors ensure that all assigned personnel receive annual refamiliarization training. Monitors may use initial security indoctrination material for support personnel; however, training given to operations personnel must include applicable items and instructions from pertinent directives on unit-unique procedures. Documentation is kept in the Intelligence Oversight managers continuity folders.

SECTION D--IDENTIFICATION, REPORTING, AND INVESTIGATION

8. Reporting and Investigating. Every AIA member is responsible for reporting any suspected questionable activity through the Inspector General channels, as soon as possible. Initially report questionable activity, at once to the immediate supervisor or unit Intelligence Oversight Monitor. Verbal notification must be followed by a message addressed to the Intelligence Oversight Monitor at the wing, groups, and centers with information copy to HQ AIA/IG, HQ AIA/DO, and HQ AIA/JA. HQ AIA/IG immediately reports any questionable activity of a serious nature to the General Counsel.

8.1. Questionable Activity. Any action, regardless of collection methodology, which violates the law or is contrary to DoD 5240.1-R or this AIA instruction.

8.2. Investigations. Each report is investigated locally to the extent necessary to determine the facts and to assess whether the activity is, indeed, a questionable activity. The results of the investigation is forwarded to HQ AIA/IG and HQ AIA/DO within 30 days of the initial reporting of questionable activity. When appropriate, HQ AIA/IG assists in the investigation and preparation of the report. The report contains all relevant information necessary to complete the investigation regardless of classification or compartmentation.
