In Navy imaging facilities, whenever Top Secret or Secret material changes hands, it MUST be done under a continuous chain of receipts. This continuous chain of receipts is documented on a Correspondence/Material Control (4 PT), OPNAV 5216/10.

For example, when a requester brings a Secret chart to the imaging facility to be copied, the person receiving the job must sign a receipt for the original Secret chart. When the photographer turns the chart over to the cameraperson, the cameraperson must sign the receipt;

when the cameraperson turns the processed film over to the printer, the printer signs for the negative and the print, and so on, until the requester again signs the receipt for the completed job.

Confidential material, on the other hand, needs to be covered by a receipt only when it is transferred, either permanently or temporarily, to another command or other authorized addresses.

The receipts for Top Secret material will be provided by the person requesting the work. For Secret and Confidential material the OPNAV 5216/10 (fig. 14-1) should be completed by the person at the front

desk receiving the job request. OPNAV 5216/10 should be unclassified and contain only the information required to identify the material being received No classified information should be included on a receipt. The postcard receipt (back of OPNAV 5216/10 package) is given to the person delivering the job request. The postcard receipt is then presented to the front desk person when the completed job request is picked up. OPNAV 5216/10 receipts are retained for a minimum period of 2 years.

Whenever you have questions about classified information or security matters, refer to the Department of the Navy Information Security Program Regulation,

OPNAVINST 5510.1, or the security manager of your command.

VISITOR CONTROL

Physical security is part of an overall Navy program that deals with physical measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, facilities, and materials.

Navy imaging facilities are a part of this physical security program. Physical security of imaging facilities is a direct, immediate, legal, and moral responsibility of every Photographer's Mate assigned to the activity.

As stated earlier, Navy imaging facilities are considered limited access areas. The reception or job order desk area is the only place within the facility that unescorted personnel, other than personnel assigned to the activity, or visitors are permitted. Beyond the reception area, there must be a definite, well-defined limiting barrier. This barrier may be in the form of a warning sign, locked gate, or a door, depending on the degree of security required.

Procedures for the control of people entering the restricted areas of an imaging facility beyond the barrier include, as a minimum, an escort system. Escorting is a method for controlling personnel within the lab who are not normally authorized access. Whether or not the escort remains with the visitor during the entire time of the visit is determined by the amount of security required, by the purpose of the visit, and by local written policy. Utility and maintenance personnel performing work at regular or irregular intervals and for short working periods should be handled by the same procedures as those used for the control of visitors.

People are curious and like to look at pictures. When unescorted they will probably look through the pictures and negatives in the finishing area Even if they do not

take the pictures, they most probably will not place them in the same order and the finishing crew will have to re-sort the jobs.

Even when your imaging facility does not handle classified work, you must become aware of the need for security. You must be accustomed to escorting visitors. By escorting visitors, you will find that the disappearance or misplacement of equipment and materials is minimized
