Authorized sources for derivative classification include official documents such as classified reports, intelligence assessments, and policy directives that contain classified information. Additionally, guidance from the originating agency, classification guides, and established standards for classification can serve as authorized sources. It's essential for individuals engaged in derivative classification to refer to these sources to ensure compliance with security protocols and maintain the integrity of classified information.
Authorized sources of derivative classification include official documents, reports, or materials that contain classified information, as well as guidance from original classification authorities. These sources may include intelligence reports, policy documents, and other materials where the classification is explicitly stated or can be derived from the context. Additionally, training and directives provided by the government or relevant agencies serve as authorized references for derivative classification. It's essential for classifiers to ensure they understand the context and implications of the information they are handling.
All cleared DoD civilian, military, and contractor Personnel who generate or create classified material from authorized classified sources.
Derivative classifiers must ensure that they are properly trained and knowledgeable about the original classification guidance. They are responsible for applying the appropriate classification markings to information derived from classified sources while adhering to established standards. Additionally, they must maintain the integrity of the original classification and protect against unauthorized disclosure. Finally, derivative classifiers should document their decisions and the basis for classification as required by policy.
Derivative classification involves a series of steps to ensure that classified information is appropriately marked and handled. First, one must determine whether the information is derived from existing classified sources, such as documents or briefings. Next, the classifier must apply the original classification authority's guidance to mark the new document accordingly, ensuring the appropriate classification level is assigned. Finally, the new document must be marked with the correct classification levels and any necessary declassification instructions before distribution.

All cleared DoD civilian, military, and contractor Personnel who generate or create classified material from authorized classified sources.
True
No, not all DoD and cleared civilian personnel who generate or create classified material from classified sources are derivative classifiers. Derivative classifiers are individuals who identify and apply classification markings based on source material. Others may handle classified material without performing derivative classification duties.
All of the following are steps in derivative classification EXCEPT: Seek additional guidance to resolve uncertainty Analyze material to be classified Use authorized sources for guidance Make recommendations for others to mark the new document
