View Rule

This rule announces an administrative revision of the Army's policies and procedures for involvement in litigation in federal and state courts where the Army has an interest in the matter.  The rule outlines departmental responsibilities, procedures for service of process, procedures for government officials sued in their official capacities, request for procedures for release of official information to include witness testimony, discovery responsibilities, affirmative litigation, environmental litigation, and procurement fraud responsibilities. The revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011.
