Definitions a. Using Component. The DoD Component to which a code word is allocated for use, and which assigns to the word a classified mearing, or which originates nicknames and exer cise terms using the procedure established by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. b. Code Word. A single word selected from those listed in Joint Army-Navy-Air Force Publication (JANAP) 299 and later volumes and assigned a classified meaning by appropriate authority to insure proper security concerning intentions, and to safeguard information pertaining to actual military plans or operations classified as Confidential or higher. A code word shall not be assigned to test, drill or exercise activities. A code word is placed in one of three categories: (1) Available. Allocated to the using component. Available code words individually w be unclassified until placed in the active category. (2) Active. Assigned a classified meaning and current. (3) Canceled. Formerly active, but discontinued due to compromise, suspected compromise, cessation, or completion of the operation to which the code word pertained Canceled code words individually will be unclassified and remain so until returned to the active category. c. Nickname. A combination of two separate unclassified words which is assigned an unclassified meaning and is employed only for unclassified administrative, morale, or public information purposes. d. Exercise Term. A combination of two separate unclassified words, normally unclassfied, used exclusively to designate a test drill, or exercise. An exercise term is employed to preclude the possibility of confusing exercise directions with actual operations directives. 2. Policy and Procedure a. Code Words. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are responsible for allocating words or blocks of code words from JANAP 299 to DoD Components. DoD Components may request allocation of such code words as required and may reallocate available code words within their organizations, in accordance with individual policies and procedure, subject to applicable rules set forth herein. (1) A permanent record of all code words shall be maintained by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. (2) The using Component shall account for available code words and maintain a record of each active code word. Upon being canceled, the using component shall maintain the record for 2 years; thence the record of each code word may be disposed of in accordance with current practices, and the code word returned to the available inventory. b. Nicknames (1) Nicknames may be assigned to actual events, projects, movement of forces, or R other nonexercise activities involving elements of information of any classification category, but the nickname, the description or meaning it represents, and the relationship of the nickname and its meaning must be unclassified. A nickname is not designed to achieve a security objective. 1 (2) Nicknames, improperly selected, can be counterproductive. A nickname must be chosen with sufficient care to ensure that it does not: (a) Express a degree of bellicosity inconsistent with traditional American ideals or current foreign policy; (b) Convey connotations offensive to good taste or derogatory to a particular group, sect, or creed; or, (c) Convey connotations offensive to our allies or other Free World nations. (3) The following shall not be used as nick names: (a) Any two-word combination voice call sign found in JANAP 119 or ACP 110. (However, single words in JANAP 119 or ACP 110 may be used as part of a nickname if the first word of the nickname does not appear in JANAP 299 and later volumes.) (b) Combination of words including word "project," "exercise," or "operation." (The word "project" often is used as the first or : second word with an unclassified nickname originating outside the Department of Defense.) (c) Words that may be used correctly either as a single word or as two words, such as "moonlight." (d) Exotic words, trite expressions, or wellknown commercial trademarks. (4) The Joint Chiefs of Staff shall: (a) Establish a procedure by which nicknames may be authorized for use by DoD Components. (b) Prescribe a method for the using Components to report nicknames used. (5) The heads of DoD Components shall: (a) Establish controls within their Components for the assignment of nicknames authorized under subparagraph 2.b.(4)(a), above. (b) Under the procedures established, advise the Joint Chiefs of Staff of nicknames as they are assigned. c. Exercise Term (1) Unclassified exercise terms may be assigned only to tests, drills, or exercises for the purpose of emphasizing that the event is a test, drill, or exercise and not an actual operation. However, the description or meaning it represents, and the relationship of the exercise term and its meaning can be classified or unclassified. A classified exercise term is not authorized. (2) Selection of exercise terms will follow the same guidance as contained in subparagraphs 2.b.(2) and (3), above. (3) The Joint Chiefs of Staff shall: (a) Establish a procedure by which exercise terms may be authorized for use by DoD Components. (b) Prescribe a method for using Components to report exercise terms used. (4) The heads of DoD Components shall: (a) Establish controls within their Component for the assignment of exercise terms authorized under subparagraph 2.c.(3), above. (b) Under the procedures established, advise the Joint Chiefs of Staff of exercise terms as they are assigned. 3. Assignment of Classified Meanings to Code Words a. The DoD Component responsible for the development of a plan or the execution of an operation shall be responsible for determining whether to assign a code word. b. Code words shall be activated for the following purposes only: (1) To designate a classified military plan or operation; (2) To designate classified geographic locations in conjunction with plans or operations referred to in subparagraph 3.b.(1), above; or, (3) To cancel intentions in discussions and messages or other documents pertaining to plans, operations, or geographic locations referred to in subparagraphs 3.b.(1) and (2), above. c. The using Component shall assign to a code word a specific meaning classified Secret or Confidential. Code words shall not be used to cover unclassified meanings. The assigned meaning need not in all cases be classified as high as the overall classification assigned to the plan or operation. Top Secret code words may be issued only with DUSD(P) or DoD Component head approval. d. Code words shall be selected by each using Component in such manner that the word used does not suggest the nature of its meaning. e. A code word shall not be used repeatedly for similar purposes; that is, if the initial phase of an operation is designated “Meaning," succeeding phases shall not be designated "Meaning II" and "Meaning III," but should have different code words. f. Each DoD Component shall establish policies and procedures for the control and assignment of classified meanings to code words, subject to applicable rules set forth herein. 4. Notice of Assignment, Dissemination, and Cancelation of Code Words and Meanings a. The using Component shall promptly notify the Joint Chiefs of Staff when a code word is made active, indicating the word, and its classification. Similar notice shall be made when any changes occur, such as the substitution of a new word for one previously placed in use. b. The using Component is responsible for further dissemination of active code words and meanings to all concerned activities, to include classification of each. c. The using Component is responsible for notifying the Joint Chiefs of Staff of canceled code words. This cancellation report is considered final action, and no further reporting or accounting of the status of the canceled code word will be required. 5. Classification and Downgrading Instructions a. During the development of a plan, or the planning of an operation by the headquarters of the using Component, the code word and its meaning shall have the same classification. When dissemination of the plan to other DoD Components or to subordinate echelons of the using Component is required, the using Component may downgrade the code words assigned below the classification assigned to their meanings in order to facilitate additional planning implementation, and execution by such other Components or echelons, but code words shall, at a minimum, be classified Confidential. b. A code word which is replaced by another code word due to a compromise or suspected compromise, or for any other reason, shall be canceled, and classified Confidential for a period of 2 years, after which the code word will become unclassified. c. When a plan or operation is discontinued or completed, and is not replaced by a similar plan or operation but the meaning cannot be declassified, the code word assigned thereto shall be canceled and classified Confidential for a period of 2 years, or until the meaning is declassified, whichever is sooner, after which the code word will become unclassified. d. In every case, whenever a code word is referred to in documents, the security classification of the code word shall be placed in parentheses immediately following the code word, for example, "Label (C)." e. When the meaning of a code word no longer requires a classification, the using Component shall declassify the meaning and the code word and return the code word to the available inventory. 6. Security Practices a. The meaning of a code word may be used in a message or other document, together with the code word, only when it is essential to do so. Active code words may be used in correspondence or other documents forwarded to addresses who may or may not have knowledge of the meaning. If the context of a document contains detailed instruc tions or similar information which indicates the purpose or nature of the related meaning, the active code word shall not be used. b. In handling correspondence pertaining to active code words, care shall be used to avoid bringing the code words and their meanings together. They should be handled in separate card files, catalogs, indexes, or lists, enveloped separately, and dispatched at different times so they do not travel through mail or courier channels together. c. Code words shall not be used for addresses, return addresses, shipping designators. file indicators, call signs, identification signals, or for other similar purposes. 7. Former Words All code words formerly categorized as "inactive" or "obsolete" shall be placed in the current canceled category and classified Confidential. Unless otherwise restricted, all code words formerly categorized as "canceled" or "available" shall be individually declassified. All records associated with such code words may be disposed of in accordance with current practices, provided such records have been retained at least 2 years after the code words were placed in the former categories of "inactive," "obsolete," or "canceled." APPENDIX E TO PART 159a-TRANSPORTATION PLAN (SEE § 159a.57(e)) The provisions of § 159a.57(e) of this part require that transmission instructions or a separate transportation plan be included with any contract, agreement or other arrangement involving the release of classified material to foreign entities. The transportation plan is to be submitted to and approved by applicable DoD authorities. As a minimum, the transportation plan shall include the following provisions: a. A description of the classified material together with a brief narrative as to where and under what circumstances transfer of custody will occur; b. Identification, by name or title, of the designated representative of the foreign recipient government or international organization who will receipt for and assume security responsibility for the U.S. classified material (person(s) so identified must be cleared for access to the level of the classified material to be shipped); c. Identification and specific location of delivery points and any transfer points; d. Identification of commercial carriers and freight forwarders or transportation agents who will be involved in the shipping process, the extent of their involvement, and their security clearance status; e. Identification of any storage or processing facilities to be used and, relative thereto, certification that such facilities are authorized by competent government authority to receive, store, or process the level of classified material to be shipped; f. When applicable, the identification, by name or title, of couriers and escorts to be used and details as to their responsibilities and security clearance status; g. Description of shipping methods to be used as authorized by the provisions of subpart I, together with the identification of carriers (foreign and domestic); h. In those cases when it is anticipated that the U.S. classified material or parts thereof may be returned to the United States for repair, service, modification, or other reasons, the plan must require that shipment shall be via a carrier of U.S. or recipient government registry, handled only by authorized personnel, and that the applicable Military Department (for foreign military sales (FMS)) or Defense Investigative Service (for commercial sales) will be given advance notification of estimated time and place of arrival and will be consulted concerning inland shipment; i. The plan shall require the recipient government or international organization to examine shipping documents upon receipt of the classified material in its own territory and advise the responsible Military Department in the case of FMS, or Defense Investigative Service in the case of commercial sales, if the material has been transferred enroute to any carrier not authorized by the transportation plan; and j. The recipient government or international organization also will be required to inform the responsible Military Department or the Defense Investigative Service promptly and fully of any known or suspected compromise of U.S. classified material while such material is in its custody or under its cognizance during shipment. 190-116 D-00--26 PART 160-DEFENSE ACQUISITION § 160.4 Policy and procedures.
