The ATO and associated documentation should be found in a fixed HQ location where the IAM/IAO are located. When possible, documentation should be requested/sought before departing on trips to tactical locations. Copies sent to the reviewers email (NIPR or SIPR depending on classification of document) can be used to validate compliance.
