overseeing, and keeping appropriate records of personnel performing

accounting for weapons to be carried by or available to personnel 
performing private security functions; (3) Registering and identifying 
armored vehicles, helicopters, and other military vehicles operated by 
employees performing private security functions; and (4) Reporting 
incidents in which personnel performing private security functions: 
discharge a weapon; are attacked, killed, or injured; kill or injure a 
person or destroy property as a result of conduct by contractor 
personnel; have a weapon discharged against them or believe a weapon 
was so discharged; or employ active, non-lethal countermeasures in 
response to a perceived immediate threat.
    The information provided in accordance with FAR clause 52.225-26 is 
used to ensure accountability, visibility, force protection, medical 
support, personnel recovery, and other related support can be
