Sir,

The problem I originally notified you of in my email below has not been
corrected.  A PUBLIC website different from the NCSI web portal (i.e.,
https://publicintelligence.net) most likely acquired the FOUO DCGS-A
Commanders Handbook by searching and downloading a copy of the document off the
NCSI website.  The link to this website is provided below.  If you click on
the link, you will see the FOUO DCGS-A Commanders Handbook posted on this
public intelligence website.  What I originally asked was to have someone from
your office work the issue of getting the FOUO document off this public
website.I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Don,

I haven’t yet heard back from LTC Garcia, MAJ Lopez and/or Steve
Montgomery on this (see my email below).  Also as a follow up, I just called LTC
Garcia (BB Number) and left him a voicemail, and I also called MAJ Lopez and Steve Montgomery and they did not answer–I got their voicemail.  Can you help
on this?  Thanks.

Sirs,

Brandon Pollachek, the PAO for PEO IEW&S, found the DCGS-A Commanders
Handbook on the public website below.  The document, which is marked FOUO, should
not be accessed via a public website.  Are you aware of this website (i.e.,
publicintelligence.net), do you know how the document was placed on this
website, and could you have it removed?  Please advise.  Thanks.
