CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED//DETR ARCHIVE//REL TO CLASS-D

Clearance Classes govern personnel grade and information access throughout DETR. The two are the same ladder. A class is not a rank held alongside an access level; it is the access level, and it determines what a person may be told, what corridor a badge will open, and what will render on this archive.

The ladder[edit]

Class	Information tier	Entry	Notes
Class-A	TOP SECRET	HICOM selection	`SAR-GREEN DOVE`. Custody-level access.
Class-B	SECRET	HICOM selection	`SAR-RED DOVE` under DISC; `SAR-WHITE LINNET` under DRA.
Class-C	RESTRICTED	CC Application	Two streams: the DRA/DISC/OTA stream and the directorate stream.
Class-D	CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED	CD Application	Departmental staff. The body of the workforce.
Test Subject	UNCLASSIFIED	—	Entry state.

Movement[edit]

CD Application — Test Subject to Class-D
CC Application — Class-D to Class-C
HR — lateral transfer between directorates at equal class
HICOM — advancement into Class-B and Class-A. Not an application. A selection.

Class-D is the first Departmental grade. Personnel below it are not staff.
