In addition to those disclosures generally permitted under 5 U.S.C.

Safeguards:

Use of system is restricted to the personnel responsible for the

administration of personnel enrolled in the resident student training

programs at U.S. Army service schools and Army training centers.

Different user identification sign-on codes are assigned to each

person authorized access to the database. Each sign-on is authenticated

by system software. Identification sign-on codes are changed every six

months, added at any time a new person is assigned or deleted when

someone leaves. The above meets Army's Information System Security

Regulation requirements.

Retention and disposal:

Machine records are maintained on-line for 4 years, at that time

they are moved to microfiche. Microfiche are stored indefinitely for

reference. Paper records are destroyed after 40 years as follows: Army

current files area (CFA) and transfer them to RHA for 2 years in CFA,

then retire them to NPRC for the remaining 38 years.
