..."The DOD also wants to provide more clarity in classified information policies, because reviewers found ambiguities were creating “inconsistencies as you get further and further out into the department,” the senior defense official said. One example is the requirement for a top secret control officer.
“I think our public facing policy says that they're optional, but then if—for different classifications, you have to have control officers,” the official said. “Then if you get into what is a reportable offense, and who you have to report it to, some of that is also, I think, confusing if you're a local level security manager, you know, managing a joint unit, for example. Who do you report it to? How do you do all of that?”"
