Guidance to Department of Defense (DoD) Components on Export Controls

As DoW's focal point on international transfers of export-controlled technology and sharing of classified military information, DTSA establishes guidelines and assists DoW components in complying with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and DoW policies.

DTSA conveys this guidance, in part, through three related DoW issuances: DoDI 2040.02. International Transfers of Technology, Articles and Services, DoDD 5230.11, Disclosure of Classified Military Information to Foreign Governments and International Organizations, and DoDI 2030.08, Implementation of Trade Security Controls (TSC) for Transfers of DoW U.S. Munitions List (USML) and Commerce Control List (CCL) Personal Property to Parties Outside DoW Control.

DTSA works directly with DoW components to answer questions on technology transfers, international program security requirements and trade security controls, including use of export exemptions. DTSA works with other DoW stakeholders in ensuring that DoW issuances include appropriate references to export control and technology transfer policy, the release of classified military information, and international programs security requirements. DTSA works with Office of the Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment (A&S) to ensure DoW Federal Acquisition Regulations incorporate export control-related contractual requirements and DoW program managers are properly trained on export control requirements.
