Psychological Conditions Foreign Preference Criminal Conduct
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Adjudicative Guidelines The ultimate determination of granting or continuing eligibility for a security clearance is based upon careful consideration of the 13 adjudicative guidelines. As a member of the Command Team, you will identify behaviors that may indicate an individual has security vulnerabilities or needs assistance. Though a specific behavior in and of itself may not result in an incident report, you should still report it to the S2 or Security Manager. Reporting these behaviors may get the person the help he or she needs before the concern becomes a more serious issue.

Derogatory Information The adjudication process is used to grant or deny a security clearance. During this process, derogatory information that questions an individual’s ability to handle classified materials may be revealed. Derogatory information is unfavorable information that may warrant denial or revocation of a clearance, as it adversely reflects on a person's loyalty, reliability, and trustworthiness.

Derogatory Information When derogatory information is revealed during an investigation or reported by a Security Manager, an adjudicator will carefully weigh a number of variables, known as the whole-person concept, when making a determination of whether the granting or continuing of eligibility for a security clearance is clearly consistent with the interests of national security.

Check on Learning – Adjudicative Guidelines As a member of the Command Team, it is your responsibility to stay aware of potential security concerns which need to be reported. You will evaluate each situation and determine the applicable adjudicative guideline.

Reporting Responsibilities Personnel Security Concerns
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Topics Transition Reporting Responsibilities Personnel Security Concerns Performance-Based Concerns You have finished the Eligibility for Access topic area. Your next topic area is the Reporting Responsibilities. The learning objectives for this topic are: Explain your authority and responsibility to report derogatory information that may lead to personnel security concerns. Explain the appropriate courses of action for a performance-based concern with a subordinate. 40

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority Your authority as a member of the Command Team is to bridge the gap between your personnel and the S2 or Security Manager.

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority You must report derogatory information, allegations of misconduct, or situations to your S2 or Security Manager, which indicate a concern for all personnel under your authority. This authority includes military and civilian personnel, as well as those with or without clearances. The S2 or Security Manager bridges the gap between you and adjudicators at the Army Central Clearance Facility (CCF). Therefore, the S2 or Security Manager is an ally and exists to help you with potential personnel security concerns.

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority You should use the 13 adjudicative guidelines as the baseline in determining what to report. If a situation occurs that indicates an individual has vulnerabilities of a security concern or an individual is in need of assistance, you must report it. As a member of the Command Team, you are in a position to help the employee. You are also responsible for reporting allegations which fall in line with the adjudicative guidelines. If allegations are not reported, the employee’s next station will not be aware of the situation.

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority It is not your role to make eligibility determinations. Adjudicators with that authority will determine if there are any patterns developing which may be of a security concern. Field adjudication is assuming the outcome of the adjudication process and therefore deciding on your own whether or not to report a situation. You may think you are helping your personnel by not reporting a situation, when ultimately it could harm them.

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility As a member of the Command Team, you must report potential derogatory information to the S2 or Security Manager as soon as you become aware of it. Refer to AR for the latest guidance on reporting responsibilities. Incident Report: The S2 or Security Manager will review the potential derogatory information. If the report contains information relevant to the adjudicative guidelines, he or she will consult with the commander, and an initial incident report will be submitted in the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS).

Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility Follow-Up Report: The S2 or Security Manager, acting on behalf of the commander, will submit follow-up reports with supporting documentation every 90 days to the CCF until the incident has been finalized. Follow-up documents might include the results from a 15-6 investigation, counseling statements, or certificates of completion from alcohol or drug treatment programs.

Final Incident Report:
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility Final Incident Report: The S2 or Security Manager must then close out the incident report. An incident report cannot be finalized until all supporting documentation is provided to the CCF. Supporting documentation would include the results of a 15-6 investigation with findings or a final command determination (for example, punishments). If the person was arrested, then final court documents are required which reflect the final disposition and show if fines or fees have been paid. Failure to submit a final incident report with supporting documentation may impact a person’s ability to complete the mission or seek employment elsewhere.

Incident report with no suspension Impact on Access: Leave as is
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility Access Options: Those with authority have three options regarding an individual’s access: Option 1: Incident report with no suspension Impact on Access: Leave as is Notes: Individual continues to work normally.

Incident report with local/informal suspension Impact on Access:
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility Option 2: Incident report with local/informal suspension Impact on Access: Suspend locally (debrief access in JPAS) Notes: Individual cannot have access to classified information and will be barred access to unclassified and classified information systems until favorable adjudication of an investigation. Waivers for continued access to unclassified systems must be justified in a written request, with the commander's concurrence, to the designated approving authority (DAA) for approval.

Incident report with formal suspension Impact on Access:
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Responsibility Option 3: Incident report with formal suspension Impact on Access: Suspend "formally" in JPAS Notes: Only the commander can authorize formal suspension of access in JPAS. Individual cannot have access to classified information and will be barred access to unclassified and classified information systems until the Army CCF makes a favorable eligibility determination. Waivers for continued access to unclassified systems must be justified in a written request, with the commander's concurrence, to the DAA for approval.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern A performance-based concern is not necessarily derogatory information that impacts the ability to hold or obtain a security clearance, but if left unchecked, it may lead to bigger issues that will impact the ability to obtain or maintain a security clearance.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern Recognizing a performance-based concern is important to provide assistance to those under your leadership, or refer them to the appropriate resources.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern Early intervention can help prevent issues from potentially becoming a security concern.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern A performance-based concern could contain elements of a security concern that should be reported to the S2 or Security Manager. Security Manager

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern The Command Team will then refer the Soldier or civilian employee to the appropriate facility which has Soldiers or civilian employees trained to assess whether or not the performance deficiencies are rooted in a personal problem, and, if so, help them deal with these difficulties.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern Reporting a performance-based issue with associated security concerns is not necessarily punitive.

Reporting a Performance-Based Concern The most important point to remember with regard to security concerns is to report them.

Check on Learning – Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority SFC Miller visits 1SG Thompson to self-report a situation. As SFC Miller explains his situation, decide which behavior best describes 1SG Thompson’s response.

Check on Learning – Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority SFC Miller: 1SG, something happened last week that I believe needs to be reported, but I’m concerned it may affect my clearance. In short, things have been difficult for me financially the last few months. I tried to refinance my mortgage, but couldn’t get a loan modification. I feel a tremendous amount of pressure to provide for my family. In the stress, I made a poor decision and got into my car after drinking a little too much. I was pulled over on my way home and received a DUI. I’m really not sure what to do right now.

Check on Learning – Reporting a Personnel Security Concern: Authority 1SG Thompson: Well, it doesn’t sound like you have a drinking problem to me; I think anyone in your situation would be feeling stressed. This is also an isolated incident and I’d hate to hurt your career by getting the Security Manager involved. I don’t feel this should be reported; just don’t do it again!

A sufficient period of a person's life is examined to decide whether the person is an acceptable security risk. 66

The Whole-Person Concept Although eligibility for access to classified information is predicated upon the individual meeting the adjudicative guidelines, the available, reliable information about the person, past and present, favorable and unfavorable, is considered in reaching a determination. 67

Did the Soldier voluntarily report the information?
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Adjudication: Areas of Consideration It is your responsibility to report information that falls under the adjudicative guidelines. Although you do not adjudicate, it is valuable to understand the adjudicative process and why it exists. Adjudicators use six areas of consideration to evaluate an individual’s desire to be responsible and up front, seek help, and resolve a situation positively. To better assist your Soldiers and civilian employees, it is important to understand what adjudicators consider when making eligibility determinations. Did the Soldier voluntarily report the information? Was the Soldier truthful and complete in responding to questions? Did the Soldier seek assistance and follow professional guidance, where appropriate? Did the Soldier resolve or appear likely to favorably resolve the security concern? Has the Soldier demonstrated positive changes in behavior and employment? Should the Soldier’s access be temporarily suspended pending final adjudication? 68

Nature, extent, and seriousness of the conduct
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Adjudication: Conduct Factors When information is reported to the CCF, the adjudicators evaluate the relevance of an individual's conduct within the situation. The adjudicators can make a more informed decision when the most reliable information about the individual or event in question is provided. You are in a good position to provide that information since you work with the individual on a daily basis. Therefore, it is valuable for you to understand the conduct factors adjudicators use when making eligibility determinations. Nature, extent, and seriousness of the conduct Circumstances surrounding the conduct, to include knowledgeable participation Frequency and recency of the conduct Individual's age and maturity at the time of the conduct Extent to which participation is voluntary Presence or absence of rehabilitation and other permanent behavioral changes Motivation for the conduct Potential for pressure, coercion, exploitation, or duress Likelihood of continuation or recurrence 69

Check on Learning – The Whole-Person Concept PFC Smith: I am supposed to be on the new classified effort downstairs, but things may have just changed for me…I mishandled classified information! I reported it, and then went to the 1SG to explain the circumstances, but my clearance was temporarily suspended. This is going to ruin my chances of getting on the new effort!

Check on Learning – The Whole-Person Concept CPL Jones: Well, mishandling classified information is a very serious issue, and it is going to be up to the adjudicator…but you did the right thing by self-reporting. Being proactive and reporting yourself can make a big difference. They also look at more than just the details of this incident…they look at your past, as well as, things you may be currently doing to help yourself.

Check on Learning – Adjudication: Conduct Factors When information is reported to the CCF, the adjudicators evaluate the relevance of an individual's conduct within the situation. Why is it valuable for you to understand the adjudication process? You can field adjudicate and circumvent the process for your Soldiers or civilian employees. You can help your Soldier or civilian employee manipulate the outcome of an adjudication process. You are in a position to assist and advise Soldiers or civilian employees in maintaining clearances. You are able to protect yourself from any punitive actions that may be taken as a result of the conduct.

Continuous Evaluation Program Continuous Evaluation Program Overview
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Topics Transition Continuous Evaluation Program Continuous Evaluation Program Overview Integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program Self-Reporting Requirements You have finished the Adjudicative Process topic area. Your next topic area is the Continuous Evaluation Program. The learning objectives for this topic are: Describe the three sources of personnel reporting essential to maintaining the integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program. Given a series of life events and personal situations, determine which items require an individual to self-report. 77

Continuous Evaluation Program Overview The Continuous Evaluation Program involves the uninterrupted assessment of a person for security clearance retention or continuing assignment to sensitive duties. This program helps to ensure high standards of conduct and that questionable conduct or activities are promptly reported for further assessment. 78

Continuous Evaluation Program Overview The Continuous Evaluation Program also includes periodic reinvestigations at given intervals based on an individual’s duties and clearance level. Individuals in Special or Critical Sensitive positions that have access to Top Secret information and/or special access programs are reinvestigated every five years. Individuals in Non-Critical Sensitive positions or access to Secret information are reinvestigated every 10 years. Individuals with access to Confidential information are reinvestigated every 15 years. 79

Integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program Once the initial adjudication has been made and an individual is assigned to a sensitive position or given access to classified information, that person will fall under the Continuous Evaluation Program. The Continuous Evaluation Program’s integrity relies on three reporting groups: supervisors, co-workers, and individuals. For the program to be effective, each group must report derogatory information when it first becomes known through their chain of command to the S2 or Security Manager. 80

Embarrassment (wants to maintain privacy)
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program Individual Reporting: Self-reporting, while mandatory, emphasizes personal integrity and is preferable to the incident or change being discovered and reported by others. Reasons an individual may not report security concerns include fear of: Disciplinary action Clearance loss Job loss Discharge Embarrassment (wants to maintain privacy) 81

A similar concern in his or her own life
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program Co-Worker Reporting: Co-workers usually have the most interaction with others and are in a position to see, hear, or experience a personnel security concern. Reasons a co-worker may not report security concerns include: A similar concern in his or her own life Participation in a situation (avoiding attention on oneself) A friendly peer relationship with the individual Fear of retribution 82

Determining an outcome through field adjudication
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Integrity of the Continuous Evaluation Program Supervisor Reporting: Members of the Command Team are responsible for identifying and reporting security concerns at an early stage since they are usually the first to know of a problem. Their consistent interaction with the Soldiers or civilian employees allows them to notice abnormal work performance and changes in behavior.

Check on Learning – Self-Reporting Requirements PVT Moore: I keep my network passwords written in a notebook so I don’t forget them. I went to the gym to play basketball with some friends and locked the notebook inside a locker.

Check on Learning – Self-Reporting Requirements SGT Wilson: I’ve been an intelligence analyst for the past 10 years. I also work part-time as a contributor and editor of the American section of a renowned foreign publication on the world’s latest armored track vehicles. I took three aerial surveillance photographs showing construction of a foreign government’s prototype tank from a coworker's desk. I sent these photographs to the publication because I believe the American public will help increase the U.S. defense budget if they know what we are really up against. Does this situation require self-reporting? 100

If you are uncertain if an outside activity may be of concern, seek the advice of your Security Manager. 101

Check on Learning – Self-Reporting Requirements PFC Robinson: I am from a very small town where everyone knows everyone. After high school, a few of my friends and I enlisted. We all recently returned from a deployment and our local newspaper wants to run an article on what it is like being friends and deployed together. They have asked me for some pictures and captions to put into the article too. Does this situation require self-reporting? 102

We all need to put in our time. Please don’t let it happen again.
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Practical Exercise You: CPL Smith, I’ve noticed you leave the office a few hours early every Friday. Why? CPL Smith: I really like to get a jump on the weekend. I also get my work done early, so there is not much for me to do. You: We are all required to work a full day and I am concerned you are deciding to leave early. CPL Smith: I really didn’t think it was a problem…I don’t see an issue with taking off early on a Friday. We all need to put in our time. Please don’t let it happen again.

I’m going to have to report this to the Security Manager. You are correct! Leaving work early is a performance-based concern and is only reportable to the Security Manager when it rises to the level of a security concern. Normally, someone leaving work early would be treated as a personnel issue. 120

You: SSG Davis, you said you needed to speak with me?
Managing Personnel with Clearances/Access to Classified Information Practical Exercise You: SSG Davis, you said you needed to speak with me?
