This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 51-7, International Law. This instruction
establishes guidelines and prohibitions concerning the acquisition and disposition of duty-free personal
property, the acquisition and possession of tobacco and alcoholic beverages and the import and export of
currency. It outlines requirements concerning the importation and registration of privately owned weap-
ons and the importation, registration, and inspection of privately owned vehicles (POV) and licensing of
drivers. The instruction provides a basis for punitive action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
(UCMJ) for military personnel or a basis for administrative sanctions for military and civilian personnel
including but not limited to possible restrictions on or revocation of privileges. This instruction applies to
United States Air Force Europe (USAFE), Army, Navy, and Marine Corps units and civilian personnel
and their dependents in Norway except those assigned or attached to diplomatic and consular offices and
Security Assistance Organizations (SAO), who are governed by appropriate embassy directives. This
instruction also applies to Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) units of
the United States. This Instruction applies to ANG units of the United States, as only Title 10 status
Guardsmen would be performing duties attached to Air Force units in Norway. Certain provisions of this
instruction are punitive. Violations of the specific prohibitions in paragraphs and related paragraphs 2.1.,
4.1., 4.2., 5.1., 6.1., and 6.2. of this instruction by military personnel may result in prosecution under Arti-
cle 92(1) and, or Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Civilian personnel are sub-
ject to disciplinary action (including loss of logistic support privileges) for violations of these paragraphs
according to applicable service instructions on civilian misconduct and adverse administrative actions.
Civilians may also be subject to criminal prosecution by the host nation for violation of host nation laws.
