So uh, this looks like it can apply to anyone who is TS/SCI-eligible as well. Not just those in the Intel world, or running the networks.
- Applicability. In accordance with references (a) and (c), the following privileged users are subject to the Navys Random Counterintelligence Polygraph Program:
a. Those whose duties involve access to Top Secret information.
b. Those whose duties involve a Special Access Program under Executive
Order 12958, as amended.
**c. Those whose duties involve the creation, use, or handling of
classified information related to sensitive intelligence or operational activities.**
c. sounds like it applies to anyone who just touches SIPR as everything could be somehow tied to "operational activities."
b. OPNAV N2/N6 will select privileged users from the Total Workforce Management System (TWMS) Information Assurance Workforce Module. TWMS is the system of record for documenting privileged users. OPNAV N2/N6 will select higher-risk individuals in coordination and collaboration with Navy commands based on a risk management approach.
Who is higher-risk? Pretty much anyone with a foreign spouse for instance, regardless of if you work in the Intel communities.
I guess my first question is, is this legal? Typically you pick orders to a command that has a poly requirement. I believe people have the right to refuse a polygraph currently under the same USMJ article that affords you the right to not make a statement. Will this be like a urinalysis where if you refuse, you are sent to Mast, or more, for disobeying an order for instance. It'll be interesting to see how this is implemented.
