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.
