Please know there are no applicable fees for your request.
With that said, it is our policy that each request receives prompt attention, and every effort is made to treat all requesters equally. This office receives thousands of FOIA requests annually on behalf of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. DOD FOIA Regulation 5400.7-R at C1.5.4.2 and C1.5.4.3 acknowledges the reality of the situation of large volumes of requests and establishes a queuing concept, based on general fairness to the public at large. Consequently, the only fair way to address all of these requests is to work them on a first-in, first-out, easy to hard basis (whether the case is easy or difficult to complete). The actual processing time depending upon its complexity, whether it involves sensitive records, voluminous records, extensive searches, consultation with other agencies and our administrative workload.

We do regret this delay and any inconvenience it may bring you. Your request will be processed as expeditiously as possible. You should receive a further reply in the near future.
Notice: As a result of increases in the Health Protection Condition (HPCON) level, our offices are limited to mission-essential personnel only and maximizing the use of telework for other personnel. This means that we are unable to handle requests sent via traditional methods and can only respond to electronic inquiries while under elevated HPCON levels.
