  PROTECTION OF CULTURAL PROPERTY
  6-122. An Occupying Power is obliged, as far as possible, to support the competent national authorities in
  safeguarding and preserving the cultural property of the occupied State. Should it prove necessary to take
  measures to preserve cultural property situated in occupied territory and damaged by military operations, and
  should the competent national authorities be unable to take such measures, the Occupying Power must, as far
  as possible, and in close co-operation with such authorities, take the most necessary measures of preservation
  (1954 Hague art. 5).
  6-123. Parties to the 1954 Hague have an obligation to prohibit, prevent, and, if necessary, put a stop to any
  form of theft, pillage, or misappropriation of, and any acts of vandalism directed against cultural property.
  The requisition of movable cultural property situated in the territory of another party to the 1954 Hague is
  prohibited (1954 Hague art. 4).
  6-124. Civil Affairs arts and monuments teams have historically been constituted to assist indigenous
  populations and institutions and other civil authorities in the protection or restoration of cultural property
  (1954 Hague art. 7).
  PROTECTION OF CIVIL DEFENSE FACILITIES AND PROPERTY
  6-125. Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions provides rules for the treatment of civil defense
  facilities and property in occupied territory (consider AP I art. 63). It states that the Occupying Power shall
  provide civilian civil defense organizations (such as police, fire, and rescue services), the facilities necessary
  for the performance of their tasks, provided these services act solely in the civil defense capacity and do not
  threaten the security of the Occupying Power. Although the United States is not bound by the provisions of
  Additional Protocol I, these provisions concerning civil defense facilities and property in occupied territories
  reflect practices that Army and Marine Corps forces generally follow, subject to imperative military necessity
  (consider AP I art. 61-67).
  6-126. Additional Protocol I also provides that personnel of civil defense organizations may not be compelled
  to perform activities that would interfere with the proper performance of their tasks. The Occupying Power may
  not change the structure or personnel of such organizations in any way that might jeopardize the efficient
  performance of their mission. These organizations may not be required to give priority to the nationals or
  interests of the Occupying Power or to perform their tasks in any manner prejudicial to the interests of the
  civilian population. The Occupying Power may disarm civil defense personnel for reasons of security and their
  protection ceases if they commit acts harmful to the Occupying Power (consider AP I art. 65).
  6-127. Finally, Additional Protocol I provides that the Occupying Power may not requisition or divert from
  their proper use buildings or materiel belonging to, or used by, civil defense organizations, if such diversion or
  requisition would be harmful to the civilian population. The Occupying Power may requisition or divert these
  resources if the buildings or materiel are necessary for other needs of the civilian population; however, such
  requisition or diversion may continue only while such necessity exists. The Occupying Power may not divert
  or requisition shelters provided for the use of the civilian population or that the civilian population needs.
  CAPTURE OR SEIZURE AND VESTING OF TITLE IN THE OCCUPYING POWER
  6-128. Public property captured or seized from the enemy, as well as abandoned property and private
  property validly captured on the battlefield, is the property of the Occupying Power. Wrongful failure to turn
  over such property to the proper authorities is punishable, for example, as a violation of Article 103 of the
  UCMJ. Further, under Article 103 of the UCMJ, wrongfully buying, selling, trading, dealing in, or disposing
  of captured or abandoned property in order to receive any personal profit, benefit, or advantage to either
  themselves or to others connected with themselves is made punishable.
  SERVICES OF INHABITANTS AND OFFICIALS
  6-129. The Occupying Power may not compel protected persons to work unless they are over eighteen years
  of age, and then only on work that is necessary for (1) the needs of the army of occupation; (2) the public
  utility services; or (3) the feeding, sheltering, clothing, transportation, or health of the population of the
  occupied country (GC art. 51).
