1.3.4 Inherently Governmental Activities

Contractors are not allowed to engage in inherently governmental activities. An inherently governmental activity is an activity that is so intimately related to the U.S. public interest to mandate performance by Government personnel.

These activities require the exercise of substantial discretion in applying Government authority and/or making decisions for the Government. Inherently Governmental activities in a combat environment includes those activities that require discretionary judgment that commit the U.S. Government to a course of action, such as deciding who or what to attack or search. The contractor is limited to a defense response to hostile acts and demonstrated hostile intent. Any activity that requires more than a response of self-defense to a hostile attack is inherently

Governmental. Some authorized activities may become inherently governmental when there is a high likelihood of hostile attack. Inherently governmental duties that these contractor personnel are prohibited from performing include the following:

- Combat or combat-like activities and law enforcement activities. Combat or combat-like and law enforcement activities which includes quick reaction force, reconnaissance patrolling, cordon and search operations, acting as an observer or spotter for indirect fire operations and route clearance operations.

- Offensive operations. This includes, planning, preparing and executing operations that actively seek out, close with, and destroy a hostile force or other military objective by means of, among other things, the employment of firepower and other destructive and disruptive capabilities. This does not preclude a private security contractor from defending another contractor or government entity of their own volition if consistent with U.S., international, and Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA)/GIRoA law; Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and other GIRoA support agreements and Federal regulation.

- Operating in hostile environments as part of a larger, totally integrated and cohesive armed force performing operations in direct support of combat.

- An offensive response to hostile acts or demonstrated hostile intentions would be required to operate in, or move resources through, a hostile area of operation. PSCs may not be given the discretionary latitude to authorize or engage in offensive actions against an enemy or hostile force.

- Decisions on the appropriate course of action and the outcome of which could significantly affect U.S.

objectives with regard to the life, liberty, or property of private persons, a military mission, or international relations.

Such actions typically require high-risk, on-the-spot judgments on the appropriate level of force, acceptable level of collateral damage, and whether the target is friend or foe in situations pivotal to U.S. interests.

The actions above are so intimately related to U.S. interests that require government performance and are unsuitable for contractors to perform.

Under no circumstances will the contractor perform private security functions that exceed the United States Central

Command Rules for the Use of Force (RUF). Although the RUF may authorize private security contractors to use deadly force in defense of hostile acts and a demonstrated hostile intent, they may not authorize private security contractors to use offensive tactics as a means of achieving their mission or contract objective.

1.4 Physical Ability Requirements Common to All Armed Security Personnel

• Drag, carry, lift, and/or pull a person to safety.
