1. Check to ensure that personnel granted LAAs are not permitted uncontrolled access to areas where classified information is stored or discussed (safes, vaults and secure room in particular). Classified information must be maintained in a location that will be under the continuous control and supervision of an appropriately cleared U.S. citizen. 2. Check to ensure that access to DOD information systems is properly controlled so that any FN granted an LAA has systems access only to that sensitive (CUI) or classified information to which they are specifically authorized. This check will require close coordination and consultation with a network reviewer or SME. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: This check is applicable where any non-U.S. citizens (not representing a foreign Government or entity) are employed in a tactical environment with access to US Classified or Sensitive Systems.

NOTE: DODM 8570 requirements will be met until full implementation of DODM 8140.03 requirements. Implementation dates for DOD Manual 8140.03 include a two-year timeline for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with cybersecurity work roles and three years for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with work roles in any other workforce element. The dates for required qualification would be 15 February 2025 for cybersecurity work roles and the same date in February 2026 for all Defense Cyber Workforce Framework work roles.
