Foreign/Local National personnel hired by a base/post/camp/station for the purpose of operating or performing OAM&P / NM functions on DSN switches and subsystems have not been vetted through the normal process for providing SA clearance as dictated by the local Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).

Requirement: The IAO and IAM will ensure that all Foreign/Local National personnel hired by a base/post/camp/station for the purpose of operating or performing OAM&P / NM functions on DSN switches and subsystems shall be vetted through the normal process for providing SA clearance as dictated by the local Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).All SAs and particularly those who are foreign or local nationals must have the appropriate clearance before being granted access to DoD systems. Failure to do this may result in unauthorized access or compromise.
