Security Clearance | United States Army Student Detachment

Effective immediately, periodic re-investigations for Top Secret (TS) will be initiated six (6) years instead of five (5) due to the backlog situation at OPM. This is for Top Secret re-investigation ONLY. See memo Extension of Periodic Reinvestigation Timeline to Address the Background Investigation Backlog:

T3 is short for Tier 3 investigation and the R stands for reinvestigation. The tier system replaced what had previously identified by the investigation completed and Tier 3 level investigations had.gone by several names through the years. Most recently NACLC if I remember correctly. A favorable T3 makes you eligible for a secret clearance if you require a secret clearance. It is also necessary for some other positions of trust not necessarily involving classified information.
