                   How Systems of Records are Arranged

  The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) provides immediate staff 
  assistance and advice to the Secretary of Defense, independently 
  organized and identified offices function in full coordination and 
  cooperation. Therefore, the Office of the Secretary of Defense systems 
  of records are not maintained or arranged by subject but established 
  in functional areas of a particular responsible staff office. The 
  Office of the Secretary of Defense includes the offices of the Under 
  Secretaries of Defense, the Assistant Secretaries of Defense, and 
  Assistants to the Secretary of Defense, the General Counsel, DOD, and 
  such other staff offices as the Secretary of Defense establishes to 
  assist him in carrying out his duties and responsibilities.

                            REQUESTING RECORDS

   Records are retrieved by name or by some other personal identifier. 
  It is therefore especially important for expeditious service when 
  requesting a record that particular attention be provided to the 
  Notification and/or Access Procedures of the particular record system 
  involved so as to furnish the required personal identifiers, or any 
  other pertinent personal information as may be required to locate and 
  retrieve the record.

                           BLANKET ROUTINE USES

  Certain `blanket routine uses` of the records have been established 
  that are applicable to every record system maintained within the 
  Department of Defense unless specifically stated otherwise within a 
  particular record system. These additional blanket routine uses of the 
  records are published below only once in the interest of simplicity, 
  economy and to avoid redundancy.

                       LAW ENFORCEMENT ROUTINE USE

  In the event that a system of records maintained by this component to 
  carry out its functions indicates a violation or potential violation 
  of law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether 
  arising by general statute or by regulation, rule or order issued 
  pursuant thereto, the relevant records in the system of records may be 
  referred, as a routine use, to the appropriate agency, whether 
  Federal, state, local, or foreign, charged with the responsibility of 
  investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing 
  or implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order issued pursuant 
  thereto.
