What are the five types of personnel security briefs?

• A. Arrival, Access, Transfer, Termination, ATFP
• B. Arrival, Access, Transfer, Reassignment, ATFP
• C. Arrival, Transfer, Termination, Reassignment, ATFP
• D. Arrival, Access, Reassignment, Termination, ATFP

Answer: (A)

The idea behind these briefs is to manage security responsibilities at the key moments when a person’s access and duties change. An arrival brief sets the tone when someone first reports in, outlining their duties, reporting requirements, and the basic security rules they must follow. An access brief clarifies what information and areas they may access, establishes need-to-know, and covers proper handling of materials and credentials. A transfer brief is used when moving to a new unit or assignment that may alter their access or responsibilities, ensuring their security status follows the new duties. A termination briefing happens when someone leaves, making sure access is revoked, credentials returned, and any ongoing obligations understood. The ATFP briefing focuses on anti-terrorism/force protection, teaching threat awareness, procedures, and how to report suspicious activity. This combination is correct because it covers onboarding, ongoing access management, changes in duty, departure, and specialized protection requirements, providing a complete framework for personnel security. The other options drop or swap one of these essential elements—for example, omitting termination would leave access-enabled privileges lingering after departure, and missing ATFP would leave awareness of force-protection duties incomplete.
