4. 5. 6. 7. Store and use classified material only in secure areas, protect it during transfer from one area (or command) to another, and destroy it only by authorized means Report any breach of security Report  any  contact  with  citizens  of Communist-controlled or hostile countries Report any attempt by an unauthorized person to solicit classified information Make sure each person who will have access to classified information receives orientation and signs a nondisclosure agreement. Provide the orientation and have the person sign the statement as soon as possible after reporting aboard or before their assignment to duties involving access to classified information. The timing and format for orientation will vary, depending on the size of the command. However, having persons certify that they have “read and understand” the provisions of security matters is not adequate orientation. Describe the command security organization and identify the security manager by name. Give personnel enough information to make them realize they are an essential link in the security structure of the command. Make sure you tell new members about any  special  security  precautions  for  your command. For instance, if your command has foreign national students or personnel in exchange programs, alert new members to the restrictions on access by foreign nationals. If your command has a coded badge system, explain the significance of the different codes. The  security  orientation  should  fit  the command and the person receiving it. Place more emphasis on security procedures when a new member has not had previous experience with handling classified information. CONTINUING SECURITY EDUCATION.— Once personnel have received the basic security education training, make sure they take part in a continuing security education training program. Guarding against security compromises and other violations  is  vital  to  our  nation’s  security. The various programs that protect our security include on-the-job training, refresher and special briefings, and debriefings. to On-The-Job Training. —Your personnel need know the security procedures required for the duties they perform. On-the-job training is the phase of security education in which personnel learn to apply specific security procedures. Compromised reports often show that breaches of security are caused by supervisors who assume subordinates know what they are supposed to do. Examples include assigning people to mail rooms without training them in the preparation and transmission of classified material or designating a Top Secret control officer without reviewing control requirements. Allowing subordinates to learn by the trial-and-error method risks security as much as assuming they know how to protect classified  information. Refresher Briefings. —Once a year, make sure all personnel who have access to classified infor- mation receive a refresher briefing. The refresher briefing should enhance security awareness—it should not rehash the basics or be a repeat of the same program year after year. Once every 2 years, an NIS agent should give a counterespionage briefing to those persons who have access to materials classified as Secret or above. The security manager is responsible for arranging the briefing with the local NIS office. Arrange for various types of special briefings as needed. They could include briefings on foreign travel, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and single integrated operational plan- extremely  sensitive  information  and  sensitive compartmented   information. Debriefings. —Persons who have had access to  classified  information  should  receive  a debriefing at the following times: 1. 2. 3. 4. 9-9 Before  termination  of  active  military service or civilian employment or temporary separation for a period of 60 days or more, including sabbaticals and leave without pay At the conclusion of an access period, when a Limited Access Authorization has been granted When the person’s security clearance is revoked for cause When a person’s security administratively withdrawn clearance is
