U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratories
6–1. General
USACIDC laboratories provide forensic laboratory assistance to
U.S. Army investigative elements, other DOD investigative agen-
cies, and Federal law enforcement agencies as appropriate.

6–2. Responsibilities
The Commanding General, USACIDC, is responsible for policies
and procedures concerning each U.S. Army Criminal Investigation
Laboratory (USACIL), quality control and technical proficiency in
USACIL operations, and the training of laboratory technicians.

6–3. Request for examination

All requests for laboratory examination will be forwarded to a
USACIL in accordance with AR 195–5, unless an exception is
granted by the Commanding General, USACIDC.

6–4. Court appearance

a. To the extent practicable, appearance of laboratory examiners
at a legal proceeding will be requested by a message to reach the
appropriate USACIL commander at least 10 working days prior to
the requested appearance date. This leadtime is necessary to avoid
conflicts with other commitments and allow time for administrative
processing and court preparation. The message will include at a
minimum—
(1) USACIL referral number (from laboratory report).
(2) Division completing the examination.
(3) Name of accused.
(4) Date, time, place, and to whom the examiner is to report.
(5) Number of days TDY required.
(6) Fund citation for travel and per diem.
b. The USACIL commander will have appropriate orders pub-
lished. If an examiner is not available, the USACIL commander will
notify the requester by return message explaining the reason for the
non-availabililty of the witness, such as a conflict with another court
appearance, and give the exact dates that the witness will be
available.
c. When the presence of an examiner is desired for trial, the
examiner should be requested to appear the day it is anticipated the
examiner will testify, rather than the day the trial is to begin. This
will assist in reducing to a minimum the examiner’s absence from
the laboratory.

6–5. On scene assistance

When particular expertise is required to process crime scenes, the
presence of laboratory examiners may be requested by CID field
commanders from the commander of the supporting USACIL.
