Fix Recommendation

All foreign national (FN) partners or FN employees with SIPRNet access (or if applicable a classified Coalition System in the US Partition) must have the proper investigation and clearance level required for their level of classified system access or IA position of trust. Normally this will be accomplished by reciprocally accepting the partner Country equivalent security clearance.

NOTE: DODM 8570 requirements will be met until full implementation of DODM 8140.03 requirements. Implementation dates for DOD Manual 8140.03 include a two-year timeline for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with cybersecurity work roles and three years for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with work roles in any other workforce element. The dates for required qualification would be 15 February 2025 for cybersecurity work roles and the same date in February 2026 for all Defense Cyber Workforce Framework work roles.
