Manditory Personal Security Training

You must have completed the Mandatory Personal Security Training for Extended TDY Overseas (more than 30 days cumulative in a calendar year).

In accordance with Department of State Cable (STATE 066580) dated March 24, 2004 which requires that the Chief of Mission (COM) ensure that all American personnel traveling to post on permanent assignment and TDY of 30 days or more, have completed mandatory personal security training. This requirement applies to US Government employees and US Government contractors traveling to an overseas destination for a permanent assignment or TDY of 30 days or more (cumulative in a year). Effective January 1, 2005, American personnel requesting country clearance to perform extended temporary duty at an overseas location must complete appropriate overseas personal security training prior to their travel. The training is required every five-years. All requests for country clearance will be contingent upon completion of this training and clearance requests for employees who have not met this requirement may be denied and travel may not take place. Training can be achieved through the Foreign Service Institute http://state.gov/m/fsi/ or for NASA personnel via The Law Enforcement Training Academy established at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
