he Soviet Seapower programs are highly polished presentations that are designed to help heighten awareness of the Soviet Union. A five­ T member instruction team will come to local commands and set up a classified or unclassified multimedia presentation, complete with Russian music, military flags, naval warfare crests, and authentic Soviet navy uniforms. The Soviet Seapower team is assigned to the Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center (NMITC), Dam Neck, Virginia. The May 1987 issue ofALL HANDS provided an in-depth look at the people and props that are part of the Soviet Seapower program team. The SECRET-level classified version, called the Soviet Seapower Education Program, is usually an all-day function lasting from 0800 to 1500 (with a built-in lunch break). The minimum size audience is 250 persons. The SovietSeapower Awareness Program is the unclassified version and is a two and one half hour presentation.

SECURITY AWARENESS WEEK "FOLLOW THE RULES"

Internal Security is to be taken seriously," said Rear Adm.John E. Gordon, Commander, Naval Security and Investigative Command, on 14 March 1988, in the opening speech of the Security Awareness Week seminar' ' held at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. "Since the Walker-Whitworth spy case the Navy has become more aware of the need for internal security," he said. _The Navy has seen a 37% decrease in granted security clearances and the Navy Security Manual has been rewritten. These changes came about due to the Navy's heightened concern of espionage matters since the Walker-Whitworth spy ring was uncovered. The admiral also mentioned the NSIC 24-hour Hotline for information on alleged, suspected or actual espionage. On the HOTLINE, (800) 445-7343, personal interviews can be arranged and confidentiality will be assured. He asked that all personnel be alert to security problems around them. "The reasons for espionage have changed," Gordon said. "Thirty years ago, personal beliefs motivated most spies. Today, money is the primary reason for entering into espionage. Foreign government agents look for persons who have access to classified materials and are in financial difficulty. Regulations, when followed, keep employees from falling into a trap. "You must follow the rules because the rules are made to protect our national secrets, and those secrets could be, in some future battle, the difference between victory and defeat. *

INFORMATION AND PERSONNEL SECURITY

REGIONAL ASSISTANCE

s part of a continuing effort to improve security in the Navy, an experienced Information and Personnel Security specialist has been assigned to the Naval Investigative Service Regional A Offices (NTSRO) at London, Norfolk and Pearl Harbor. These security specialists will work with commands to improve the safeguarding of classified information and the professionalism of security personnel. Assistance will be in the form of consultations on security problems, program evaluations and training. More information will be provided to [ocal commanders as the security specialists report aboard the NISROs. *

POTENTIAL FOR COMPROMISE

SILVER RECOVERY PROGRAM

he Silver Recovery Program requires that all excess photographic materials be turned in to a Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRM O). This program salvages the small quantities of the precious metal T that are produced in the photographic developing process and provides an additional source of revenue for the government. One problem with this procedure has arisen that may lead to a com promise of classified information. During a recent inspection at a DRMO, some material marked "CONFIDENTIAL" was discovered in an open container. This material was old and may have become declassified many years ago; nevertheless, proper preventative action taken by submitting commands can ensure that classified material does not get into the wrong hands. All potentially classified photographic materials should be shredded prior to shipping and transfer to DRMOs. Questions regarding this program should be directed to Michael F. Brown, Classification Management Division, Information and Personnel Security Directorate, Naval Security and Investigative Command at AV: 291-5901. *

ive members of the Naval Investigative Service Regional Office Reserve Unit 0602 (NISRO RU 0602), New York, responded to a short notice request for reserve officers with law enforcement/ F physical security backgrounds. These officers were requested by Commander, Naval Base Norfolk, Va. to assist with the planning, preparation and execution of Physical Security Exercise (PSX) 87, an exercise invoiving Norfolk's resident commands. This exercise was run concurrently and intertwined with a major fleet exercise, Solid Shield 87. Cmdr. Mike Homan, Lt. Cmdr.'s Charles Johnson and William Clifford, and Lt's Jay Caputo and William Siedenstein, all credentialed NIS Reserve Agents, represented NISRO RU 0602 during this exercise. These officers controlled a simulated gate protest, a sniper scenario, aircraft hijacking, hostage situation, attempted assassination of flag officers, several flightline penetrations, and several "Zulu-Five-Oscars" (bomb threats). At the conclusion of this eventful Active Duty Training ( ACD UTRA) the general feeling among the participants was that the exercise was a rather successful learning experience, not only for those whose security was tested, but also for the officers and enlisted reservists who took part in PSX-87. The members of NISRO RU 0602 and other experienced reservists who took part in PSX-87 brought a vast expanse of knowledge to the exercise and greatly enhanced its credibility. The fact that these individuals were fortunate enough to be on hand to observe the events of PSX-87 enhances not only their own individual readiness, but that of their unit as well. *

Meussling, MA1 (SW) Clinton S.Johnso'n,and OS2 (SW) Richard W. Saunders (not shown). As Chief Master-at-Arms, Ruger instills in his personnel a desire to achieve. He set requirements that all his personnel must be Master-at-Arms PQS qualified within two months after reporting for duty and should be ESWS qualified as soon as possible. Jahnke, one of the rated MAs, said of the accomplishment, "Because we are in generallooked upon by everyone as 4.0 sailors, having the ESWS pin is icing on the cake." McHale, an Aviation Boatswain's Mate Aircraft Handler, said, " I think that it shows the versatility of the Master-at-Arms training program ... that even in a relatively short period of time aviation personnel are able to get their (surface warfare qualification)."
