The Office of Security Review conducts the security and policy review for clearance of official Department of Defense (DoD) information proposed for official public release by the DoD and its employees (military and civilian). This process makes available accurate and unclassified information to the public and the Congress to help them understand Defense strategy and national security issues.
These reviews include the DoD portion of the President’s budget and supporting testimony before congressional committees, potentially export controlled International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) technical data generated under other than DoD contracts, and material submitted by sources outside the Department of Defense for review.
