That work, he said, resulted in him being tortured by the Taliban after the US withdrew from the country in 2021.

CFL/ACFLs, The CFL is responsible for maintaining PRIMS access and assign UIC(s) to the designated ACFL(s) within PRIMS.  Not having a CFL onboard with PRIMS access is NOT a sufficient reason for PRP Office to assign UICs on the command’s behalf.  Per OPNAVINST 6110.1K, commands must have a designated CFL. For all ACFL account creation requests, the submission must come directly from the CFL to askmncc.fct@navy.mil. The required ACFL Designation letter and SAAR Form must indicate the primary UIC of responsibility and any additional UICs in block 13 that the ACFL will be supporting with the CFL. Upon receiving the required documents from the CFL, MyNavy HR Tier-1 will elevate the case to Tier-2 for account creation in eCRM/Salesforce. Tier-2 will respond directly to the CFL once the ACFL account has been created. CFL will assign the ACFL to the responsible UICs within PRIMS by using the UIC Assignment Tile located on the right-hand side of the PRIMS Homepage. Step-by-step instructions regarding UIC assignment are available within the CFL PRIMS Training Course at https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Support-Services/Culture-Resilience/Physical-Readiness/PRIMS-Training/ .
