VII GUIDE TO THE PROVISIONS OF AR 381-12
1. The Department of the Army has recently published Army Regulations No. 381-12 in which it has been pointed out that the Sino-Soviet bloc countries are engaged in an all-out espionage effort directed toward obtaining the military and scientific knowledge possessed by the United States and certain other Western nations. The U.S. Army and its members have, in many instances, been the specific targets of Sino-Soviet bloc directed operations. Within the United States, Communist methods of operations have included such incidents as those stated below:
a. Efforts to collect unclassified military publications.
b. Attempted entry of restricted military reservations.
c. Clandestine efforts to obtain highly classified technical information.
d. In overseas stations, direct approach operations have been numerous.
2. The direct approach as to U.S. personnel has assumed various guises such as the following:
a. Overt attempts to obtain information.
b. Professed cultivation of friendships.
c. Efforts to place individuals in compromising positions in order that the threat of pressure might produce the desired collection of U.S. military information.
3. Samples of the types of incidents in which intelligence personnel are particularly interested are as follows:
a. Attempts of unauthorized individuals to obtain classified defense information by:
(1) Observation.
(2) Collection of documents.
(3) Personal contact with military personnel and civilian employees of the U.S. Army.
(4) By use of audio surveillance devices.
b. Attempts of Individuals with known espionage, subversive, or Sino-Soviet backgrounds to cultivate friendship with military personnel and civilian employees of the U.S. Army, or to place them under obligation.
c. Attempts of individuals to exert pressure upon known or suspected weaknesses of military personnel and civilian employees of the U.S. Army in order to obtain military information. Known or suspected weaknesses maybe as follows:
(1) Indebtedness.
(2) Immorality.
(3) Drinking.
4. Occurrences or anything resembling the occurrences just discussed must be reported immediately to your immediate superior, or commanding officer. Pending further instructions, the occurrence must not be discussed with anyone else. Superiors and commanders receiving this type of information must report the information as expeditiously as possible to their commanders in order that the Commanding General, Sixth U.S. Army, or his representative the Sixth Army G2, will receive ultimate notification.
5. If at any time you should suspect that you are the object of recruiting efforts, avoid firm commitments and defer any answer pending a future meeting with the contact. Any identifying data you can procure will be of great assistance. Indicate you may give the matter some thought and and would like to think it over for a few days. Do not attempt to exploit apprehend, restrict or stimulate the contact until proper guidance has been received from intelligence authorities.
6. You are reminded that the Sino-Soviets are without question quite active within the United States in the field of espionage. Undoubtedly, there are espionage agents within this army area, and we suspect they could increase in number. You may find yourself in a position to make a valuable contribution to the security of our country. It could be you who furnishes us with the particular load we might need to identify an espionage organization. The intelligence and common sense you display upon your initial contact with such occurances could make a substantial difference in the conduct of the investigation which might follow.
7. To repeat, if you are approached, merely indicate that you went to think it over for a few days and meet again. Immediately notify your superior or commander who will assure that the information is reported expeditiously through intelligence channels. The information will be handled on the strictest need-to-know basis. The information will be held in confide until guidance from Sixth Army has been received. AR 381-12 requires commanders to encourage their subordinates to report such incidents and that commanders emphasize the protection and guidance that personnel reporting will be afforded.
8. This program is not a new one, but Department of the Army has reasons for stressing it at this time. Each person must realize the part he can play if he should run across apparent espionage attempts. It must be understood that there are relatively few American intelligence personnel and of course their personal coverage of areas and activities is limited. A great amount of such information of necessity must be obtained from persons not directly connected with intelligence.
9. By no means do we want you to spy on your associates, nor do we want you to report remarks against the Republicans, the Democrats the present Administration, or any specific laws, since it is the right of Americans to so criticize if they desire; however, consistent praise for Russia and communism on one hand and pointed derogatory remarks about the American form of government on the other, may be a case of sedition to say the least.
10. Do we have a need for security?
Yes. Enemy intelligence is continuously, ìndustriously, secretly and ruthlessly engaging in efforts to gather political, social, economic, industrial and military information of tactical and strategic value.
11. How can personnel indifference to security requirements best be overcome?
Through continuing, thorough security orientation; strong leadership; frequent inspection of security systems and procedures; and disciplinary action and reward.
12. Why is enemy intelligence always interested in collecting background data concerning personnel in sensitive or key positions?
In order that this knowledge may he exploited to their advantage. Through coercion, duress, etc., Character degenerates, disaffected personnel, disloyal persons, deviates, etc., can be caused to cooperate in manners inimical to the best interests of the United States. Additionally, background information concerning commanders is useful in determining how the commanders may react in a combat situation.
13. Why should seemingly minor incidents pertaining to security matters always be promptly reported through intelligence channels?
Because they frequently form a pattern indicating enemy efforts when similiar minor reports are centrally collected. Knowledge of this pattern is used to neutralise enemy penetration efforts.
14. How strict should security requirments be?
Never so stringent that the unit cannot accomplish its primary mission or that dissemination of information cannot be expeditiously made to those who need-to-know. Common sense should always be applied in considering capabilities, funds, manpower, time element, situation, mission, and degree of classification.
15. Should "honor systems" and "short cuts" in accountability of classified information be used?
Possibly in emergency situations. Otherwise, laxity in security procedure can only result in risk of loss, theft, or compromise of defense information. Additionally, this laxity frequently results in embarrassment or disciplinary action.
16. With who does the responsibility for security rest?
It rests with the individual commander. However, responsibility for safeguarding classified defense information rests with the individual having custody.

The 5lst Artillery Regiment was the second organization in the Army to have its coat of arms approved by the War Department.
The colors of the shield are red and gold. The red denotes Artillery while the gold indicates service in Lorraine, during 1917 - the color is taken from the coat of arms of that Province.
The green caterpillar is used to symbolize the tractor - in France, regimental transportation was tractor drawn and vehicles were marked with a device consisting of a camouflaged gun drawn by a caterpillar.
Also on the coat of arms is an ancient heraldic device known as a lion’s face jessant-de-lis. The red lion's head indicates service during the War of 1812 and the fleur-de-lis commemorates service in France during World War I.
