The State CD Coordinator is responsible for managing personnel actions, equipment, and resources, support requests and integration, program execution of authorized CD activities and supervision of Service members in a T32 duty status.

Military Service-qualified personnel serving as analysts will follow the Federal, State, and local laws of criminal evidence and the supported agency’s information handling policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable privacy laws and protect the rights of U.S. persons. Law enforcement criminal information will not be processed or stored on DoD systems. Analysts are authorized to process, categorize, and evaluate criminal information, within the immediate scope of the supported law enforcement investigation, in support of law enforcement CD activities.

NG CD Service members, in support of LEAs, may use ground, maritime, and aerial platforms within the United States to conduct reconnaissance and observation to detect, characterize, locate, track, and assess specific people, objects, or areas, in real or near real-time. NG personnel may not directly participate in the arrest of suspects, conduct searches that include direct contact with suspects or the general public, be involved in the chain of custody for any documents or data, or store gathered information in NG facilities or databases. Law Enforcement Officers must be present for all missions. Supported LEAs are responsible for obtaining the legal authorizations and warrants required to permit information handling.

NG Service members may provide training and support concerning militarily unique skills in leadership, mission analysis, planning, decision-making, and cross-organization coordination. This support is limited to promoting community-led efforts to develop and execute CD supply and demand reduction strategies for State, local, and Tribal organizations, and Community Based Organizations (CBOs) with a substance abuse prevention nexus.

NG CD Service members may establish, operate, and maintain communication stations, bases, and communication equipment, including hardware, software, and other equipment to improve information sharing and collaboration, in support of law enforcement counterdrug operations. NG network and communication specialists establish command, control, communications and information networks, and investigative network capabilities to improve the integration of law enforcement and NG activities.

NG ground and aviation units may provide ground and airlift support to supported LEAs, to include controlled deliveries (aerial or ground), as requested by agencies involved in ongoing, real-time, time-sensitive operations. Transportation support may include tactical support to move personnel and equipment. Authorized support does not include administrative movements such as conferences or routine personnel and equipment movement which can be accomplished by LEAs organically or with commercial aircraft and other similar services. NG Service members must ensure LEA officers assume full responsibility for the security and accountability of personnel, material, or equipment in their custody, and retain chain of custody requirements for evidence or individuals detained by LEAs.

The NGCS provide training in military unique capabilities and skills not readily available outside DoD to Federal, State, local, and Tribal law enforcement, CBOs, and military personnel to improve drug interdiction and drug-demand reduction activities.
