ARMY AR 190-14 PDF

Purpose

This regulation prescribes policy and procedures for authorizing, carrying, and using firearms and the use of force by personnel engaged in law enforcement and security duties. It establishes uniform policy for the use of force by law enforcement and security personnel. It implements Department of Defense (DoD) policy to limit and control the carrying of firearms by Department of the Army (DA) military and civilian personnel. This revision requires that the use of deadly force with firearms be applied equally to personnel using a weapon or equipment which, when properly employed, would exert deadly force.
