Continuing Problems in DOD's Classification of National Security Information

摘要

Some individuals at DOD did not comply with the provisions of the 1978 Executive order and DOD's regulation on the classification of national security information. As a result, there was improper use of classification authority, improper classification of information, and deficiencies in the marking of classified information. To correct these conditions, DOD should expand the training given to classifiers and improve its independent inspections of classification activities.
