Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM), E-Change # 479

1. Update to SAMM Section C10.8.2 text to read:

   C10.8.2. IMS and Authorized Dependent Data Requirements for All DoD Provided Training.

   C10.8.2.1. The SCO will validate if the IMS has a current Student Control Number (SCN) and ensure the same SCN is used for subsequent training. The SCO must input all required IMS individual identification into the Security Cooperation Training Management System (SC-TMS) in the United States for training. This applies to all IMS attending DoD provided CONUS and OCONUS resident and non-resident training. See SAMM Section C10.8.3., for additional OCONUS SCET/MET/MTT requirements.

   C10.8.2.2. The purchaser or Benefitting Country must provide all required biographic and biometric information for an IMS and Accompanying Family Members (AFM). All training tracks in the Security Assistance Network (SAN) database must include the information required by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (USDP(I&S)) and allow adequate time for security vetting.

   C10.8.2.3. If any required IMS or AFM information is not available by the required date to facilitate security vetting the appropriate MILDEP may cancel or re-schedule the training. Forfeiture charges will apply in accordance with the DoD FMR, Volume 15, Chapter 7. SCOs will encourage Purchaser or Benefitting Country to simultaneously submit all required IMS and AFM information for both a primary and an alternate training candidate to ensure adequate time for security vetting to be completed prior to the start of training.
