scope:

Applicability. This regulation applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the U.S. Army Reserve, unless otherwise stated. Portions of this regulation prescribe specific prohibitions that are punitive, and violations of these provisions may subject offenders to non-judicial or judicial action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During mobilization, procedures in this publication can be modified to support policy changes as necessary.

Purpose

This regulation establishes policies and assigns responsibilities for information management and information technology (IT). This regulation applies to IT contained in mission command systems; intelligence systems (except as noted); weapon systems (except as noted); business systems; and, when identified, national security systems (NSSs) developed or purchased by the Department of Army (DA). This regulation does not apply directly to information systems (ISs) acquired under the National Intelligence Program (NIP), the Military Intelligence Program (MIP), or to the operational support of intelligence and electronic warfare systems operating in a stand-alone configuration where inclusion of integrated support would not be efficient or effective.
