COMNAVRESINTCOM INSTRUCTION 5530.2

From: Commander, Naval Reserve Intelligence Command

Subj: COMMAND SECURITY BADGE SYSTEM

Ref: (a) OPNAVINST 5510.1H

(b) OPNAVINST 5530.14B

Encl: (1) COMNAVRESINTCOM Security Badge Issue and Control Procedures

(2) Badge Samples

1. Purpose. To establish standardized command security badges and standardized procedures to be followed by the Reserve Intelligence Areas (RIAs) and Naval Reserve intelligence units for issue and control of these security badges.

2. Background. References (a) and (b) establish the minimum requirements for administrative procedures regarding the control and issuance of controlled/restricted area access badges.

3. Policy

a. All RIAs and units which use badging systems will use COMNAVRESINTCOM security badges in order to standardize access control and badging systems throughout the Naval Reserve Intelligence Program (NRIP). This policy does not apply to units that drill in the gaining command and use gaining command badges.

b. Badging systems are not mandated unless directed by higher authority.

c. It is paramount to remember that a security badge is only a means of identifying the current level of the holder's personnel security clearance or the level of restricted areas to which a holder may have access. Badges may not be used as the basis for granting access to information or areas.

4. Badge System

a. A color-coded badge system has been established for all RIAs that have an NRIP Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) or that otherwise use security badges. Each individual allowed access to the SCIF or controlled areas will have a color-coded badge to identify his/her level of clearance. Units operating in a host gaining command are required to use that command's security procedures. No one shall be allowed in

an NRIP SCIF or other NRIP spaces requiring badging without the proper badge as described herein.

b. Badges will be issued by the RIA staff or SSO per enclosure (1). Enclosure (2) shows how the badges will appear.

c. Badge Accounting. An accurate system of accounting for badges will be maintained. Procedures shall include records of all existing, issued, lost, and returned badges. Per reference (b), a badge inventory shall be conducted at least annually and results of such inventory shall be maintained for at least three years or until completion of the next regular command inspection, whichever is greater.

d. Rebadging

(1) RIAs will rebadge all personnel possessing permanent picture badges at least every five years or when the loss ratio reaches six percent, whichever occurs first.

(2) New badges will be issued by COMNAVRESINTCOM five years after the date of this instruction or when the overall loss rate reaches six percent. The new badges will be distinctly different from their predecessors.

5. Implementation. COMNAVRESINTCOM will provide all required supplies for producing badges; i.e.; badge forms, camera, laminating equipment, and badge attachment devices. Once this instruction is issued and all supplies are on board, RIAs have four months to complete transition to the new badges.

List I, II, III, IV

1. The color-coded badge system to allow access to RIA SCIFs and controlled areas is based on the level of clearance as listed below, in descending order:

a. Yellow w/Red Stripe - Top Secret/SI/TK (Note 1)

(1) Black 1/2 inch dot - GAMMA

(2) Green 1/2 inch dot - As assigned by COMNAVRESINTCOM

(3) Red 1/2 inch dot - As assigned by COMNAVRESINTCOM

(4) Blue 1/2 inch dot - As assigned by COMNAVRESINTCOM

b. Orange - Top Secret

c. Red - Secret

d. Blue - Confidential

e. Green - Unclassified

Note 1. TS/SI/TK badges contain three small boxes that can be used to designate additional compartmented clearances held by that individual. Colored 1/2-inch dots will be affixed to these boxes to so indicate. Colors indicating these additional compartmented clearances are as assigned by COMNAVRESINTCOM; local modifications are not authorized. Colored dots shall be put on the badges prior to lamination; colored dots on top of laminating material are not authorized.

2. "Temporary," "Visitor," and "Escort-required" badges will be identified by capital letters "T," "V," and "E," respectively, instead of by the picture on a regularly issued badge. Badges will be issued at the same level as the level of clearance/access of the individual(s) requiring access.

3. The following badge issue procedures shall be used by each RIA staff or SSO when issuing a COMNAVRESINTCOM security badge:

a. A log book will be maintained indicating at a minimum:

(1) Badge Serial Number:

(2) Badge Color:

(3) Date of Issue:

(4) Badge Expiration Date: (Maximum of five years

following badge issue)

(5) Name of person issued to:

(6) Person's SSN:

(7) Date of Return or Loss:

Enclosure (1) b. Badge serial numbers will include the RIA number followed by a dash and the badge serial number (e.g., for a badge issued by RIA ONE, the number would be 01-001.) The serial number will be indicated on the front of the badge, centered

underneath the photograph and above the expiration date, and also on the back of the badge. "Temporary," "Visitor," and "Escort-required" badge serial numbers shall be designated with the RIA number followed by a dash, followed by a capital letter indicating badge type and a serial number (e.g., for a temporary badge issued by RIA TWO, the serial number would be "02-T001," a visitor badge would be "02-V001," and an escort-required badge would be "02-E001.")

c. Badge expiration dates shall be annotated on the front of the badge directly underneath the badge serial number. Expiration dates shall not be greater than five years from badge issue date. Expiration dates must be visible from three feet away during normal daylight hours.

d. Access badges will be updated and changed every five years, or as required due to changes in clearance levels, or upon determination that there has been a significant change in the member's physical appearance.

4. Unissued security badges shall be held in a secure container accessible only by the RIA staff, SSO, or person(s) responsible for issuing badges or badge control. Positive badge control is paramount as badges are issued from COMNAVRESINTCOM without serial numbers and, if left unsecured, could easily be compromised.

5. Report to COMNAVRESINTCOM immediately the compromise or loss of both unserialized and serialized security badges. Include the following information in the loss report: How many and of what color, serial number(s), contact information on the person to whom the badge was issued, and circumstances leading to badge loss.
