Check to ensure the local site/enclave security manager has developed written procedures on proper marking of classified documents / media/ equipment. These procedures should primarily involve guidance for employees concerning what to mark, how to mark items, where classified labels, stamps and other marking tools and supplies are located, etc. Reference to DoD or component marking guides should be in the local procedures with information on how/where to obtain copies. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: This check is applicable in a tactical environment if classified documents or media are created/extracted from the SIPRNet. The only exception will be for urgent (short term) tactical operations or other contingency situations where fixed facilities and equipment are not yet present or incapable of being used. All deployed SIPRNet equipment should already contain applicable classification markings/labels.
