This is a Joint Staff J3 GENADMIN message from the J36 Homeland Defense Division, dated 19 May 2023 and released by the Office of the Secretary of Defense under FOIA 24-F-0067. It tells the combatant commands and the Services to report all UAP incidents, incursions and engagements to AARO on a standard template, to notify counterintelligence within 24 hours, and to transfer UAP data and material to AARO within 30 days. It also defines UAP terms and sets reporting deadlines.
PAGE 3 OF 9 REF C provides instructions to CCMDs and Services for reporting sUAS 2.C.TWPPrRecovery and transfer of identifiable, non-anomalous items of foreign origin that have military potential or applications continue to be managed by the DoD FMP. REF D provides responsibilities for the management and operation of the DoD FMP. GENTEXT/EXECUTION/3. 3.A. (U) CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 3.A.1.641614.Respective subordinates of DoD, CCMDs, and Services will report all observed UAP incidents, incursions, and engagements to AARO, through their respective Combatant Command Joint Operations Center and Service Watch Cells. AARO receives, databases, and analyzes UAP reporting, and AARO provides stakeholders its peer- reviewed analytic conclusions. 3.A.2..04011.Respective subordinates of DoD, CCMDs, and Services send notification of all UAP incidents, incursions, and engagements to their respective counterintelligence elements. 3.A.3..40060mRespective subordinates of DoD, CCMDs, and Services coordinate with AARO to determine the appropriate location and entity to transfer all UAP data for incidents, incursions, and engagements in raw, unedited, unmodified form and in a manner consistent with the data's classification. 3.A.4.0600.Respective subordinates of DoD, CCMDs, and Services coordinate with AARO to determine the appropriate location(s) and entities to transfer all UAP objects and material of incidents, incursions, and engagements in unmodified form, in a manner consistent with the objects and materials' classification and applicable hazardous-materials transport requirements. 3.A.5..610).AARO coordinates across the US Government to identify the appropriate agency to assist in shipping, transferring, receiving, storing, examining, etc., of material and data associated with the UAP incident. 3.B. (U) DEFINITIONS 3.B.1. (U) UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA (UAP) are sources of anomalous detections in one or more domain (i.e., airborne, seaborne, spaceborne, and/or transmedium) that are not yet attributable to known actors and that demonstrate behaviors not readily understood by sensors or observers. "Anomalous detections" include but are not limited to phenomena that demonstrate apparent capabilities or material that exceed known performance envelopes. A UAP may consist of one or more unidentified anomalous objects and may persist over an extended period of time. 3.6.1.A. (U) SPACEBORNE UAP are sources of anomalous detections above the Karman Line (i.e., 100km above Earth's mean sea level). 3.6.1.6. (U) AIRBORNE UAP are sources of anomalous detections between Earth's mean sea level and the Kaman Line. 3.B.1.C. (U) SEABORNE UAP are sources of anomalous detections at or below Earth's mean sea level. 3.B.1.D. (U) TRANSMEDIUM UAP are sources of anomalous detections that transit more than one domain. 1"•1 II \.•%." I
