3. AWARDS TO SERVICE MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES IN PAYGRADE 06 AND BELOW.
A. THE STATEMENT CONTAINED IN SECNAVINST 1650.1H ARTICLE 620.3D VOIDING THE REQUIREMENT FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AT THE TIME OF SUBMISSION OF AN AWARD RECOMMENDATION FOR PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED SERVICE MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES IS ERRONEOUS. THE DOD AWARDS MANUAL, DODM 1348.33 V3 - PAGE 46 PROVIDES THE DIRECTIVE GUIDANCE. SUBPARAGRAPH (G)2 STATES, "OBTAIN A COUNTERINTELLIGENCE RECORD CHECK ON THE AWARD NOMINEE FROM THE PERTINENT MILITARY COUNTERINTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION..." THE DODM 1348.33 V3 DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXCEPTION STATED IN THE SECNAVINST.
B. AWARD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL SERVICE MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES MUST INCLUDE A CURRENT BACKGROUND CHECK (LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD) FROM NCIS. THIS REQUIREMENT INCLUDES MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES PERMANENTLY ASSIGNED TO A COMMAND. COPIES OF BACKGROUND CHECKS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE THE SIX-MONTH WINDOW ARE NOT CONSIDERED CURRENT AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. DODM 1348.33 V3 DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (DIA) RECORD CHECK.
4. AWARDS TO SERVICE MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES IN PAYGRADE O7 AND ABOVE.
A. REFER TO ALNAV 060-11 FOR SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR LEGION OF MERIT (IN FOUR DEGREES) AWARD RECOMMENDATIONS TO SERVICE MEMBERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES.
B. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED BY ALNAV 060-11 ALSO APPLY TO ALL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NAVY DEPARTMENT AWARDS TO FLAG AND GENERAL OFFICERS OF FOREIGN ARMED FORCES BECAUSE THOSE AWARDS ALSO REQUIRE SECDEF APPROVAL.
5. REF A IS NO LONGER DISTRIBUTED. INSTEAD, REF A IS UPDATED QUARTERLY AND MAINTAINED ON THE INTERNET AT THE WWW.MARINES.MIL WEBSITE, UNDER THE MARINE CORPS PUBLICATIONS ELECTRONIC LIBRARY.
