Purpose

The Investigative Records Repository (IRR) is a Department of the Army (DA) Records Center that serves as the repository for intelligence, counterintelligence (CI), security investigative, and operational records; related files that meet the criteria of this regulation; and required references created by or for the DA. This regulation establishes Army policy and specific responsibilities concerning these records, by outlining the responsibilities for operation of the IRR; identifying the categories of materials authorized for IRR custody; providing policies and procedures for the storage, maintenance, transmission, review, and systematic reduction of those records; establishing the appropriate uses to be made of IRR materials; and defining the procedures by which Department of Defense (DOD) and other authorized requesters may access IRR holdings.
