Upon termination of employment, administrative withdrawal of security clearance, or contemplated absence from duty or employment for 60 days or more, DoD military personnel and civilian employees shall be given a termination briefing, return all classified material, and execute a Security Termination Statement. DA Form 2962 (Security Termination Statement and Debriefing Certificate) will be used. With a few exceptions, DA Form 2962 is required only in the above situations and when personnel have had their security clearances revoked under AR 604-5 (reference (ll)). An oral debriefing will be accomplished before the DA Form 2962 is completed. If they have not already done so, personnel departing the activity who have had access to classified information will be asked to execute the SF 189, Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement. This statement shall include:
- An acknowledgment that the individual has read the appropriate provisions of the Espionage Act (reference (tt)), other criminal statutes, DoD regulations applicable to the safeguarding of classified information to which the individual has had access, and understands the implications thereof;
- A declaration that the individual no longer has any documents or material containing classified information in his or her possession;
- An acknowledgement that the individual will not communicate or transmit classified information to any unauthorized person or agency; and
- An acknowledgement that the individual will report without delay to the FBI or the DoD Component concerned any attempt by any unauthorized person to solicit classified information.
