To whom must all DoD personnel report projected foreign travel?

All DoD personnel are required to report projected foreign travel to their security representative. This reporting is crucial because security representatives are tasked with assessing the risks associated with foreign travel and ensuring that personnel are briefed on potential threats and security protocols. They play a key role in safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining operational security.

The security representative is in a position to provide any guidance related to the specific security requirements, necessary training, and the procedures that must be followed prior to travel. This process helps in mitigating the risks associated with foreign activities that could lead to exposure of critical information or compromise of personnel.

While immediate supervisors, Human Resources, and the Foreign Travel Office may have roles in travel planning or administration, the primary responsibility for security measures and reporting foreign travel lies with the security representative. Their specialized knowledge in security protocols ensures that personnel are well-informed and prepared for their travel.
