Storage:

Paper records and electronic storage media.

Retrievability:

By name, Social Security Number (SSN), foreign identification number, service number, class number, language, year of graduation, and date of birth.

Safeguards:

These systems are hosted on Army installations, in a secure environment. Building security is through police patrols, installation fences, key card access, building-server room alarms and cameras. System access is through the Army Network Enterprise Center's firewall. Each user requires a user ID and password (which has to be changed each 90 days). Direct access to the database is restricted to authorized System Administrators (SAs) only. Servers are located in a cipher locked room and access is controlled by the SA. Any person having access to personally identifiable information (PII) is specific only to them once they have been authenticated in the pertinent system through an incorporated security process, such as the implementation of User ID/Password—Common Access Cards (CAC); CAC optional but being mandated for CAC only access with the safeguards listed above. All personnel with access to PII are trained in Security+ certifications, to ensure they are current on new security standards.

Retention and Disposal:

Records are kept in current file area until no longer needed for conducting business, then retired to Records Holding Area (RHA)/Army Electronic Archive (AEA) or destroyed.

Individual academic records are transferred to the RHA/AEA, and are retired to National Records Personnel Center (NRPC) Annex, 1411 Boulder Drive, Rock City Industrial Center, Valmeyer, IL 62295-2603, when the record is 10 years old. The NPRC will destroy the record when 40 years old.
