C8.3.1. Routine EUM is required for all defense articles and services provided via government-to-government programs. SCO personnel are required to observe and report to the CMD, DSCA, an DoS any potential misuse or unapproved transfer of U.S.-origin defense articles. SCO personnel perform Routine EUM in conjunction with other security cooperation functions, during visits to the host nation’s installations, through interaction with other assigned embassy personnel, and from any other readily available or opportune source of information. SCOs must document Routine EUM on at least a quarterly basis and maintain records for five years.

C8.3.1.1. To assist SCOs in conducting routine monitoring, DSCA has developed an FMS Routine EUM Summary Report located in the SCIP-EUM database under the Queries/Reports menu. This provides a "watch list" of specific categories of defense articles exported via FMS that includes, but is not limited to: battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, artillery systems, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, warships and military vessels, missiles and missile systems, military vehicles, bombs, crew served and individual weapons, platform-mounted night vision systems, and man-portable NVDs monitored through Routine EUM. To assist SCOs in documenting routine monitoring performed, DSCA developed a Routine EUM Template located in the SCIP-EUM database under the Support-Policy/Procedures Memos.

C8.3.2. Articles or Services Requiring Additional Controls on End-Use. There are instances in which particular items normally subject to Routine EUM are transferred with notes restricting the conditions under which they may be transported, stored, or employed. SCOs should be aware of these restrictions and alert to indications or reports that suggest failure to comply.

C8.3.2.1. Arms, Ammunition and Explosives (AA&E). AA&E items require special protection, and the requestors must submit a plan for safeguards of these items during the Letter of Request (LOR) and/or Pre-LOA process. The DoD applies stringent AA&E controls while these items are in U.S. custody, and the same standards must be applied to the items upon release to the purchaser. Although recipient countries generally do not assume control of sensitive AA&E items within the continental United States, except as cargo loaded and prepared for departure, USG security standards must apply throughout the lifecycle of the weapon system (e.g., transportation, delivery, testing, operational use, storage, and destruction processes). Additionally, a site survey may be required to ensure that appropriate physical security measures are in place at the destination prior to the delivery of the weapon systems. See DoD 5100.76-M, and the Section C7.17 for more information regarding AA&E items.

C8.3.2.2. White Phosphorous and Cluster Munitions. Munitions containing White Phosphorous (see Section C4.4.8.) and cluster munitions permissible for transfer under U.S. law (see Section C4.4.6.) are transferred with notes restricting the conditions under which they may by employed. SCOs should be aware of host nation inventories of these weapons and the restrictions on them, and alert to reports of how the host nation is employing them in operations. SCOs should report to DSCA (Programs Directorate) any information that suggests these items are not being used in accordance with the terms under which they were sold.
