ORDTYP/GENADMIN/CJCS//
NARR/ (U) This Joint Staff J3 GENADMIN message provides guidance to
CCMDs and Services 1) to report UAP worldwide, using the reporting
template standards as prescribed below; 2) to report UAP to their
respective counterintelligence element; and 3) to transfer UAP and
UAP-related material to AARO. This GENAOMIN is effective
immediately.
GENTEXT/SITUATION/1. (CUI) The US Government has observed UAP in or
near the territory and/or operating areas of the United States, of
its allies, and of its adversaries, and observing, identifying, and
potentially mitigating UAP has become a growing priority for us
policymakers, laWllakers, and warfighters. The potentially ubiquitous
presence of UAP defines the national security implications of those
anomalies, which range from operational hazards and threats to
technological and intelligence surprise to adversaries' strategic
miscalculations. It is imperative that DoD provide UAP incident,
incursion, and engagement-as defined in paragraph 3.B . - reporting,
data, and material for the Department's detection and mitigation of
potential threats; exploitation of advanced technologies; and
informing policymaker and warfighter decisions. The Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) sets the appropriate Chairman's
Critical InforMation Requirement (CCIR) criteria and ensures each
CCMD and Service is in receipt of the Reporting Matrix. Incursions,
incidents, and engagements that meet CCIR criteria are reported in
accordance with CJCS and CCMO reporting requirements. Each CCMD and
Service ensures the appropriate guidance is in place to receive the
respective reports from Service Component Commands and subordinates.
GENTEXT/MISSION/2,
2.A. (CUI) CCMOs and Services report all UAP incidents, incursions,
and engagements using the below, standardized reporting requirements
and templates; transfer all data from UAP incidents , incursions, and
engagements, as described; and recover and transfer all UAP objects

notify thei r counterintelligence element of UAP events, in
accordance with their respective counterintelligence reporting
r equirements.
