NISPOM Courier / Handcarrier Briefing

Clause 5-410 of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (DoD 5220.22-M)

requires that contractors who designate a cleared employee to act as a courier or

handcarrier of classified material give that employee a briefing on their responsibility to

safeguard that classified information. We have prepared a briefing to meet this requirement of

the NISPOM. It covers essential topics such as processing of the classified material by security

personnel; carrying proper personal identification and other documentation; required

procedures for maintaining and transferring possession; inventory receipts; proper and

prohibited storage practices; and special requirements and procedures for transportation

aboard commercial passenger airlines. Please see below for our NISPOM-compliant sample

courier briefing that can be customized to your organization's needs.

You will be taken to PayPal's secure Web site to pay for the courier/handcarrier briefing. Once

you have paid at the PayPal Web site, you must click the link PayPal displays to return to our

Web page where you can download the courier/handcarrier briefing. It is up to you to

download it—the briefing is not automatically sent to you.
