3. Provision-specific questions
- Transparency Obligations. Provide the documentation required under the transparency obligations of DoD Responsible AI Strategy and Implementation Pathway (Ethical Principle 'Traceable' + Tenet 2 (Warfighter Trust) — documentation + explainability requirements integrated into T&E + V&V lifecycle) — including (as applicable) model card, system card, training-data summary, evaluation results, and known limitations.

- National Security Carveouts in AI Regulation. Identify whether any component of the offered system or its use case falls within the national-security carveouts of DoD Responsible AI Strategy and Implementation Pathway (The S&IP IS the DoD-specific RAI framework; tenets + ethical principles operationalise the national-security AI use case rather than carving out from a civilian framework) and the resulting compliance posture.
