In accordance with Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction (DODI) 3216.02 and with the approval of the Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) (USD(R&E)), the US Department of the Army (USA), under its USA Component Human Research Protection Program Management Plan (CMP) and through authority delegated by the Secretary of the Army to the USA Surgeon General, including pursuant to Army Regulation (AR) 70-25, the Army Human Research Protections Office (AHRPO) provides regulatory oversight of all Army-wide research involving human subjects.

DODI 3216.02 and the USA CMP, approved by the USD(R&E), requires that USA Headquarter offices, Commands, subordinate Commands and institutions must, if conducting or supporting research involving human subjects, have a AHRPO-approved Human Research Protection Program (HRPP); if conducting non-exempt research involving human subjects, then a AHRPO-approved DOD Assurance is required. AHRPO evaluates initial and renewing HRPPs and Assurances in accordance with Title 32 of the U.S Code of Federal Regulations Part 219 and other applicable federal laws and DOD as well as Army policies.
