The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requester Service is established to comply with Executive Order 13392. The FOIA is a federal statute which generally provides that any person has a right to request federal agency records, except to the extent the records are protected from disclosure by any of the nine exemptions contained in the law or by one of three special law enforcement exclusions.

 

  Executive Order 13392

 

The information obtained herein is not intended to be definitive or exhaustive. The FOIA, which is known by its legal cite as Title 5 U.S.C. § 552, along with the Department of Defense (DoD) Regulation 5400.7-R, and Army Regulation (AR) 25-55, governs how requests will be processed within the United States Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER). Because ARCYBER must comply with national security laws, some documents or portions thereof may be exempt from release.
