The Use of Restricted Air Force Technologies in Joint Federal Investigations

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show the factors involved in the formulation, adoption, and implementation of actual policy changes in a "real world" situation. The problem identification, needs assessment, policy development, and policy implementation accomplished in this study were a direct result of requests for assistance from the United States Customs Service (USCS) to the United States Air Force (USAF). The USCS, through their project "Exodus," was attempting to procure restricted USAF items from the Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL) for use in "reverse-sting" operations. An evaluation of current USAF policy revealed that the system in place was not effectively responsive to this type of request. A new policy, implemented through the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI), of conducting joint Technology Transfer (T2) investigations, with OSI procuring the MCTL items, has proven successful.
