4. Policy. It is the policy of the Secretary of the Navy that essential news of adverse incidents will be released when known, unless such release would compromise military  security. To  accomplish  its  mission,  the  Rose  Festival  CIB  must  be expeditiously  informed  of  all  particulars  of  adverse  incidents,  including  full identification  of  persons  involved.  The  decision  as  to  what  news  is  to  be  released to the press, and that of when such news is to be released, is the responsibility of the information coordination officer. In no case will individual commanders attempt to withhold such information from the CIB. Wording and timing of press releases pertaining  to  adverse  incidents  will  be  determined  by  the  merits  of  individual  cases; whenever possible, identification of casualties will be withheld until the next of kin may reasonably be expected to have been notified. 5. Action. a. In accordance with reference (a), an OPREP-3 Navy Blue will be sent to the appropriate  authorities. b.  COMTHIRDFLT  and  CO,  USN  &  MCRTC,  Portland,  Oregon,  will  be  made information addressees on all communications required by reference (a) or (b), whichever  is  appropriate. c.  The  CIB  will  initiate  any  reports  deemed  necessary  in  accordance  with reference  (d). d. Format for Notification of the CIB. Upon occurrence of an adverse incident, the commander concerned will notify the CIB by the most expeditious means possible,  giving  the  following  information: (1) Summary description of incident. (a)  What  happened (b)  When (c)  Where (d)  How (e)  Why (2) Persons  killed. (a) Name AIV-2
