your office, are responsible for proper indoctrination of
personnel under your supervision. You must be sure
your personnel are fully aware of regulations and
execute a policy of strict compliance with all security
regulations at all times.
Effective security is accomplished when you
recognize, understand, and apply the security
requirements that prevent compromise and subversion.
Some individuals who work with classified information
on a daily basis may become careless about using proper
safeguard measures. When you see this happen in your
office, take corrective action immediately.
EFFECTIVE SECURITY
The primary objective in organizing and conducting
an effective security program that should be impressed
on your personnel is that security is not something
separate and apart from their other duties. It is a natural
element of every duty they perform.
An effective security program will help you to make
your personnel security conscious at all times. You can
use various approaches to organizing a security program
that have real meaning and create a lasting impression
on your personnel. Posters, cartoons, charts, and films
are effective tools if properly used.
When you use posters, place them in areas of
maximum travel and always at eye level. Use various
types and rotate them often to combat boredom. People
become security conscious only when you stimulate
their interest and provide motivation for personal
involvement.
When you have
instilled a sense of
self-responsibility in your personnel, a trait that
eliminates carelessness, ignorance, or plain
indifference, you have accomplished security
consciousness.
Effective security can only be achieved when
personnel know how, when, and with whom to discuss
classified information.
BRIEFINGS
Security education/briefings fall into the following
categories:
l Indoctrination
l Orientation
. On-the-job training
l Annual refresher briefings
. Counterespionage briefings
. Special briefings
l Debriefings
INDOCTRINATION
Everyone who enters the Navy and the Marine
Corps needs to have a basic understanding of what
classified information is and why and how it is
protected. This basic indoctrination is done during
training at the time of accessiom nose who don’t go
through a formal training period are indoctrinated by the
receiving command.
It is not enough to make sure an initial indoctrination
briefing is accomplished for new personnel; you must also
make sure periodic briefings are conducted for all
personnel having access to classified information In
addition, security briefings may be appropriate when:
l an abnormal number of security violations occur.
l there is an increase in quantity or sensitivity of
classified information being handled.
l the mission of a command increases in terms of
security risk involvement (personnel or
physical).
ORIENTATION
Orientation briefings are a must for personnel
whose job requires access to classified material. The
briefing should be conducted as soon as possible after
an individual reports aboard and before he or she is
granted access to classified information. Orientation
briefings are also necessary for personnel who, although
not required to have access to classified material, are
closely associated with cleared personnel or who are
attached to a command that has a primary mission that
involves highly classified material and information. The
orientation briefing places emphasis on the following
factors:
. Personnel having knowledge of classified
defense information must not disseminate it until it
has been determined that the recipient has the
appropriate security clearance and needs the
information to perform his or her official duties. Each
person has the responsibility for making this
determination.
