32 CFR 516.16 - Individual and supervisory procedures upon commencement of legal proceedings.
(a)Individual procedures. DA personnel served with civil or criminal process concerning a proceeding in which the United States has an interest ( § 516.15) will immediately inform their supervisor and furnish copies of process and pleadings. There is no requirement to notify supervisors of purely private litigation.
(b)Supervisory procedures. When supervisors learn that legal proceedings in which the United States has an interest have commenced, the supervisor will forward a copy of all process and pleadings, along with other readily available information, to the SJA or legal adviser. If no legal officer is available locally, the documents will be forwarded to the SJA or legal adviser of the next higher headquarters.

The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 32 CFR Part 516 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2016-29835 RIN 0702-AA69 Docket No. USA-2015-0016 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, Department of the Army Proposed rule. Consideration will be given to all comments received by: February 13, 2017. 32 CFR Part 516 The Department of the Army proposes to amend its regulation concerning policies and procedures for release of official information and testimony of Army witnesses in federal and state courts where the Army or Department of Defense (DoD) has an interest in the matter. This regulation was last published in the Federal Register on July 29, 1994 (59 FR 38236). At that time, a complete Army Regulation was codified. This revision removes a large portion of the currently codified part that does not apply to the public, and is now included in DoD internal guidance. Army Regulation 27-40, Litigation, dated 19 September 1994, is the corresponding document where the internal guidance is located.
