AIRBORNE OBJECTS

References: See Enclosure D.

1. Purpose . This instruction provides guidance to the Deputy Director

for Operations (DDO), National Military Command Center (NMCC), and

operational commanders in the event of an aircraft piracy (hijacking) or

request for destruction of derelict airborne objects.

2. Cancellation . CJCSI 3610.01, 31 July 1997.

3. Applicability . This instruction applies to the Joint Staff, Services,

unified commands, and the US Element, North American Aerospace

Defense Command (USELEMNORAD).

4. Policy .

a. Aircraft Piracy (Hijacking) of Civil and Military Aircraft. Pursuant

to references a and b, the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration

(FAA), has exclusive responsibility to direct law enforcement activity

related to actual or attempted aircraft piracy (hijacking) in the “special

aircraft jurisdiction” of the United States. When requested by the

Administrator, Department of Defense will provide assistance to these

law enforcement efforts. Pursuant to reference c, the NMCC is the focal

point within Department of Defense for providing assistance. In the

event of a hijacking, the NMCC will be notified by the most expeditious

means by the FAA. The NMCC will, with the exception of immediate

responses as authorized by reference d, forward requests for DOD

assistance to the Secretary of Defense for approval. DOD assistance to

the FAA will be provided in accordance with reference d. Additional

guidance is provided in Enclosure A.

b. Aircraft Piracy (Hijacking) Preventive Measures for Military and

Military Contract Aircraft. Reference c outlines general policy and

authority of military commanders to protect and secure property under

their command. References f and g provide policy and guidance for

commanders on dealing with terrorism, and information for reducing

vulnerability of DOD personnel, their family members, facilities, and

materiel to acts of terrorism. Additional guidance is provided in

Enclosure B.

(1) A concerted effort will be made to prevent piracy (hijacking) of

military or military contract aircraft by initiating security measures

designed to minimize vulnerabilities and by stopping potential hijackers

before they board the aircraft.

(2) If preventive measures fail, any attempt to hijack a military

aircraft will, if practicable, be resisted.

(3) Assistance to hijacked aircraft will be rendered, as requested,

by the aircraft commander, and as approved by the authority exercising

operational control of the counter hijacking effort.

c. Destruction of Derelict Airborne Objects . Derelict airborne objects

(for example, unmanned free balloons, moored balloons or kites,

unmanned non-nuclear rockets or missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles

(UAV) or remotely operated vehicles (ROV)) are a potential threat to

public safety. Military personnel may, upon request, be required to

track and destroy such objects. The NMCC is the focal point for any

requests for DOD assistance in tracking and destroying derelict

airborne objects. With the exception of immediate responses as

authorized by reference d, the NMCC will forward all requests for such

assistance to the Secretary of Defense for approval. Enclosure D

provides additional guidance.

5. Definitions. Terms used in this instruction are in the Glossary.

6. Responsibilities. The DDO, NMCC, is designated as the DOD

coordinating authority between the FAA and operational commanders.

As such, the DDO will forward all requests or proposals for DOD

military assistance to the Secretary of Defense for approval, with the

exception of immediate responses as defined by reference d. The

Services, unified commands, and USELEMNORAD are responsible for

compliance with this instruction and any other directives, laws, or

international agreements involving aircraft piracy (hijacking) or derelict

airborne object incidents. Records and logs for aircraft piracy

CJCSI 3610.01A

(hijacking) and destruction of derelict airborne object situations will be

maintained for a minimum of 90 days to permit later reconstruction of

the sequence of events. Records and logs requiring longer retention by

other directives will be retained accordingly.

possible derelict airborne objects.

b. Statutory Authority for Responding to Aircraft Piracy enclosure
