COMSEC MATERIAL.

4.12.1 (U) Inventory Requirements for COMSEC Accounts

a. (U) Inventory at the COMSEC

Account. At the COMSEC account, a complete physical inventory will be performed as follows:

(1) (U) Centrally accountable COMSEC material (ALC 1, 2, and 6) will be inventoried at 6-month intervals using a Semiannual Inventory Report (SAIR).

An Audit or a Change of COMSEC Custodian Inventory Report (CCIR) also serves as a semiannual inventory.

(2) (U) ALC 4 and 7 materials will be inventoried upon change of custodian or annually.

(3) (U) When CSLA personnel audit COMSEC accounts, all COMSEC material is subject to inventory.

(4) (U) At other times when a special inventory may be required.

b. (U) Inventory of Physical Material.

Inventories must be complete and accurate. An accurate COMSEC material inventory provides supply accountability and aids in the physical security of the COMSEC material. The COMSEC Custodian’s signature on a Transfer-In, Inventory, or Destruction Report is a binding certificate that each item listed is correct and has been accurately accounted for, as noted in the report. The following inventory procedures are required:

(1) (U) Upon receipt of material or upon opening packages or containers,

carefully examine packages, containers, and sealed unit packages for tampering.

(2) (U) When inventorying classified spare parts, which are packed in sets, in bulk, or unit package, use "hands on"

inventory methods. This inventory requires the visual verification of the presence of the package or container and that the parts listed, quantity, and identification are as specified.

c. (U) Inventory Upon a CCIR or SAIR.

Upon a change of COMSEC Custodian or a semiannual inventory, all COMSEC

equipment will be inventoried as follows:

(1) (U) When inventorying COMSEC equipment that is known to be operating properly, it may be assumed that the equipment contains all assemblies and parts.

(2) (U) When inventorying equipment stored in a security area to which only the COMSEC Custodian and the

Alternate(s) COMSEC Custodian have access, the "sight" inventory method may be used.

TB 380-41

(3) (U) When inventorying equipment held in storage, it is recommended that equipment be checked for

completeness. A qualified COMSEC maintenance technician should assist in this inventory of components.

d. (U) Inventory Upon Transfer or Prior to the Destruction of COMSEC Material:

(1) (U) Inventory both classified and unclassified COMSEC equipment, subassemblies, and components for completeness.

(2) (U) Page-check unsealed key material and publications.

4.12.2 (U) CLSF Inventory Procedures a. (U) Inventory Responsibility. The account COMSEC Custodian or Alternate COMSEC Custodian and a witness should perform CLSF Inventories. However, other qualified personnel under the supervision of the COMSEC Custodian may perform inventories of large accounts or at major distribution centers.

b. (U) Receipt of Inventory. The following procedures are required for all CMCS

accountable COMSEC material received at a CLSF for further distribution:

(1) (U) Carefully examine packages and containers for signs of tampering. If the package or container is free of

tampering, do not open. An inventory of unopened packages and containers will be done by verifying the short

title/edition, quantity, and serial

accounting/register number on the label.

(2) (U) Larger packages (e.g.,

bulk-packaged COMSEC key material) may be opened for distribution of its smaller unit-packed contents. If the larger package has been opened, inventory its contents (smaller unit-packed

packages). Large packages opened for distribution to smaller units may be resealed and remarked with the new quantity. There is no need to open smaller packages for inventories unless they show signs of tampering or have been opened. If a smaller unit-packed

with or opened, verify that the contents are complete.

(3) (U) Do not open packaged spare components for inventory. However, if the package has been opened, all individual classified components will be inventoried.

c. (U) Periodic Inventory Requirements.

(1) (U) Inventory large sealed units, which may include one or more pallets of material as a "total" sealed unit. When inventorying large sealed units, check all seals for tampering.

(2) (U) Inventory material which is stored loose (e.g., ALC 1 and ALC 2 keying material). Do not check equipment and subassemblies for individual parts.

(3) (U) Upon Transfer of COMSEC Material, check both equipment and individual components for completeness before packing for shipment. If the equipment or components have not been opened since they were received, the CLSF is not required to open and check these items. If equipment has been used, ensure it is zeroized prior to packing.

4.12.3 (U) Daily and Shift-to-Shift Inventory of Key Material. All centrally accountable COMSEC key will be inventoried to ensure continued protection and control. The DA Form 2653-E or locally produced report (which contains all the elements of the DA Form 2653-E) will be used to record the inventories.

a. (U) Daily Inventory. A daily inventory will be conducted in all accounts holding

centrally accountable key regardless of quantity held. When key is stored in a security container that has not been opened since the previous inventory, it is not necessary to open the container for the sole purpose of conducting the daily inventory. Page checks of keying material are not required for daily inventories.

b. (U) Shift-to-Shift Inventory.

Operational areas will maintain a written record of shift change inventories of cryptomaterial using DA Form 2653-E to document the transfer and physical control from the outgoing shift to

Checks will be annotated in the

appropriate block upon receipt (transfer-in), daily/shift inventory and final disposition (transfer out and/or destruction).

(7) (U) Initials. If the inventory of all listed key material items is correct, place your initials in the box. Use the box which corresponds to the correct shift (1, 2, or 3) and day of the month. For TPI material, two (2) sets of initials are required (see Figure 4-10).

(8) (U) Month. Enter the month for which the inventory is being performed.
