Department of Defense Adjudication Program

Abstract

The DOD established the personnel Security program to ensure that granting Federal employees, military personnel, contractor employees, and other affiliated persons access to classified information is clearly consistent with the interests of national security. The DoD has a multistep process to grant security clearances. The security clearance process includes a request made by the employing organization, an investigation performed by the Defense Security Service (formally known as the Defense Investigative Service), and an adjudication decision made by one of eight DOD adjudication facilities, down from 19 such facilities in 1991. The eight DOD adjudication facilities performed about 400,000 adjudicative actions in FY 1996.
