A-3 Enclosure A
CJCSI 5320.01B
13 January 2008
k. In coordination with the Joint Staff Information Management Division,
collect important paper and electronic material related to the operations of the
Joint Staff required to support the production of official historical studies.
These records are not deemed as permanent records and will be destroyed or
transferred to IMD following completion of the supported historical study.
l. Assist combatant command historians in creating Individual Mobilization
Augmentee (IMA) billets in their offices. The IMAs may augment command
history offices, or deploy as directed by the combatant command historian.
3. Historical Programs of the Commanders of the Combatant Commands. The
commanders of the combatant commands maintain historical programs to
ensure the production of accurate, thorough, and objective historical accounts
of the significant activities of their commands, including all significant
contingency and joint operations conducted by their commands. Combatant
commanders are required under Title 44 U.S. Code Chapter 33 and 36 CFR
1228 to maintain records of the command, including those deemed historically
significant. To accomplish this historical mission, the commander of the
combatant command will:
a. Maintain a dedicated, full-time history office. Recommended staffing
level is at least two professional historians, as well as an administrative
assistant, and an archivist or information technology specialist. The history
offices will report directly to the deputy combatant commander/chief of staff,
and will be represented at meetings of staff principals. The history offices will
conduct periodic interviews with members of the command group. To ensure
access to meetings in secure facilities and to collect all relevant documentation,
at least one person in each combatant command history office will have a
clearance for TOP SECRET SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (TS-
SCI) as well as access to all relevant documentation contained in FOCAL POINT
(FP) materials.
b. Submit annual or multiple-year historical reports through the Director
for Joint History to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. See Enclosure B.
c. The combatant command historian is not the command s records
manager; the historical function is completely separate from records
management and preservation. However, interviews of key personnel, key
documents, and supporting records are essential material for the writing of
command histories. Accordingly, as required to support the writing of
command histories and to insure the preservation of historically important
documents, combatant command historians will collect and preserve interviews
and the electronic and paper records needed to document the activities of their
combatant command in its command histories. The command historian will
advise the command records manager upon reorganization, relocation, or
A-4 Enclosure A
CJCSI 5320.01B
13 January 2008
inactivation of command or subordinate elements to ensure key records are
secured and preserved.
d. USSOCOM s historical office is the lead joint historical office for
documenting joint special operations forces operations and for synchronizing
historical coverage of theater special operations commands.
e. Coordinate all historical activities within their commands and with
Service components to achieve unity of effort and complete coverage of joint
operations while avoiding duplication. Responsibility for the command,
control, and administration of Service historical activities rests with the Service
component headquarters within the combatant command.
f. Provide for historical coverage of mobilization planning and crisis action
procedures, to include access for command historians to command operations
centers and all appropriate sources (see reference b).
g. Ensure that history annexes are included in appropriate operations
plans, operations orders, and concept plans according to reference a. The
annexes will specify how historical coverage will be accomplished and provide
details on the deployment of joint historians and the type of material and
information to be collected.
h. Maintain liaison with the Director for Joint History.
i. Ensure conformity of subunified and combined command official
histories with stated requirements to include establishing periods covered,
format, and due dates.
j. Meet with their command historians for periodic interviews, including
exit interviews. Guidance for conduct of these interviews is in Enclosure C.
k. In accordance with reference c, facilitate liaison between the historian
and the command records manager to ensure that key records, to include SCI
and ACCM documents and all electronic records, are reviewed, organized, and
secured for the historical record.
l. Acquire and align reservists to support field deployments and history
office activities, to include the creation of the appropriate number of IMA billets
within the combatant command history office. Reserve augmentees assigned to
combatant command history offices work for the combatant command and not
their parent Service. All documents and interviews collected by the reserve
historian while assigned to the combatant command are the property of the
supported combatant command (see reference c). In the case of reserve
support to the combatant command Special Operations Commands, reserve
A-5 Enclosure A
CJCSI 5320.01B
13 January 2008
augmentation will be coordinated through the USSOCOM History Office, the
combatant command History Office, and the JHO.
m. Convene a panel to advise on the professional qualifications of the
candidates to replace combatant command or subunified command historians.
This panel should include at least one government historian from outside that
combatant command. JHO historians are available to serve on such panels.
The selection process will be guided by the requirement to produce book-length
official command histories.
n. The combatant command will issue a letter of instruction (LOI) to the
historian of each subordinate JTF. The LOI will specify the JTF historian s
mission, authorities, and collection requirements. The provisions of the LOI
will be IAW this instruction and references c and d.
4. Reserve Component Historians. Reserve component historians aligned to
joint missions will train periodically with the JHO and combatant command
history offices and be available to assist them in times of emergency or crisis,
deploying as needed. Service components will provide trained personnel to
deploy to assist and supplement the combatant command historians either in a
combatant command or a JTF Headquarters; it is essential that these
personnel possess a Top Secret clearance. At least one IMA or Reserve billet
should be designated for a TS-SCI clearance to enable a Reserve Component
historian to attend staff meetings in secure facilities and collect the necessary
documents. In the accomplishment of this mission, Reserve Component
historians will:
a. Maintain proficiency by regular joint and Service training.
b. At the request of the Director for Joint History, and after coordination
with the appropriate Services, participate in deployments to train with unified
commands during joint exercises.
c. Upon mobilization and deployment, assist or supplement historical
offices by collecting documents and other sources, preserving and organizing
historical material, conducting interviews, and preparing chronologies of joint
planning and operations.
d. Joint Task Force historian billets should be coded for assignment by any
Service and with a clearance requirement of Top Secret.

used to certify to the combatant command historian s supervisor normally
the chief of staff that progress is being made and that documents are being
