------------ 
 
¶3.  (U) Per Ref A action request 2, Annex A has been reviewed 
and Post judges that all listed DoD elements are fully 
covered under Post's security program. 
 
¶4.  (U) HQ USEUCOM directorates, subordinate components 
commands, and DoD agencies are reminded to immediately notify 
HQ USEUCOM/EPOC and the USDR of any planned or projected 
introduction or removal of DoD elements from any country or 
region in the USEUCOM AOR.  Upon notification of a planned 
new element, EPOC and the USDR will initiate the process of 
determining force protection (aka. security) responsibility 
(COM or commander, USEUCOM).  Similarly, EPOC and the USDR 
will amend annexes A and B if required.  National security 
decision directive (NSDD) 38 requires all agencies with staff 
operating under the authority of COM to ensure that, in 
coordination with DOS, the COM's approval is sought on any 
proposed changes in size, composition, or mandate of such 
staff elements.  This requires DoD to formally notify the COM 
and DOS prior to the introduction of new DoD elements or 
increase in the size of elements if the COM has or will have 
security responsibility for such elements. 
 
¶5.  (U) IAW USEUCOM OPORD 03-11 (antiterrorism) commanders at 
all levels are responsible for force protection of units, 
activities, and facilities under their command to include 
those designated by CDRUSEUCOM-COM MOA as falling under the 
security responsibility of the commander.  These 
responsibilities and relationships will be detailed in the 
CDRUSEUCOM-COM MOA and the accompanying matrix, which shows 
at lines of responsibility.  These documents are available on 
the USEUCOM force protection homepage and serve as the formal 
delegation of tactical command for force protection from 
CDRUSEUCOM to subordinate commanders.  Further delegation to 
establish a clear line of responsibility through the chain of 
command to the installation/unit level will be accomplished 
by component commanders and their subordinates, as 
appropriate.
