Purpose

This regulation establishes the Army Protection Program (APP) to better manage risks to the Army, including the safety and security of Soldiers, DA Civilians, Family members, contractors, facilities, infrastructure, and information. The APP provides the overarching governance framework for synchronizing, integrating, coordinating, and prioritizing policies, decisions, and resources of the 13 APP primary functions, 3 subordinate functions, and 3 enabling functions identified in paragraph 3-1. This regulation prescribes policies, roles, responsibilities, and relationships across the APP Functions. The APP applies risk management processes to integrate and coordinate protection programs into Army operations, expand program oversight, ensure senior leader accountability, and better facilitate informed decision-making and resource allocation.
