Vulnerability discussion

Failure to maintain proper separation could result in detectable emanations of classified information.

Check content

Check for separation of at least 50 centimeters (19.7 inches) between any RED processor and BLACK equipment. Requirement is mandatory for all OCONUS locations and certain specific CONUS locations. NOTE: This requirement is applicable in a tactical environment. The supporting CTTA should be contracted for specific separation requirements, which may be greater than the 50 cm minimum distance reflected in this check.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
