Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Derivative classification refers to the use of existing classified information to create new materials while applying the correct classification markings.
- It is essential for protecting national security and maintaining the integrity of classified information.
Key Terms and Definitions
- Derivative Classification: Involves incorporating classified information into new documents and marking them accordingly.
- Security Classification Guide (SCG): Provides guidance for the classification of specific programs or systems, detailing classification levels and downgrading or declassification instructions.
- Extracting: Directly stating information from a classified source verbatim in a new document.
- Revealed By: Concept where classified information can be inferred or deduced through additional analysis.
- Contained In: Concept where classified information exists within the context of other classified content.
Responsibilities of Derivative Classifiers
- Must analyze and evaluate information to identify classified elements.
- Require access to classification guidance and must possess subject matter expertise.
- Responsible for properly marking new documents derived from classified sources.
Classification Concepts
- Information may be classified if it is owned by the U.S. Government, disclosure could harm national security, and it involves military operations or systems.
- Organizations must follow guidelines in the DoD Manual 5200.01 for classifying and marking information properly.
- If classification guidance is uncertain or conflicting, it is advised to consult with a security manager or Facility Security Officer.
Classification Levels and Sanctions
- Individuals may face administrative, UCMJ, or criminal sanctions for improper classification actions, except when formally challenging a classification.
- Information classified as "Secret" can only be disclosed with appropriate authority.
Examples of Classification Actions
- The act of paraphrasing information from a classified document is key in maintaining classification.
- If a new document’s content is based on classified information, it must reflect that classification level.
Compliance and Reporting
- Contracts such as DD Form 254 outline safeguarding and classification requirements for contractors handling classified information.
- Failure to adhere to classification principles may lead to sanctions, thereby emphasizing the need for accuracy in classification practices.
Importance of Derivative Classification
- Integral for ensuring the protection of national security by managing classified information appropriately.
- Helps prevent unauthorized disclosures that could compromise military operations or sensitive information.
Training and Guidelines
- Ongoing training on derivative classification principles is necessary for personnel involved in the classification process.
- Properly marked documents must include accurate classification according to established guidance and must be updated as required.
