All of machines are certified for destruction of TS/SCI and below as noted on the most current National Security Agency/Central Security Service Evaluated Products Lists.
Why a clean-out day?
It’s not just recommended; it’s a requirement. DoDM 5200.01/AFMAN 16-1404, V3, requires all activities with classified holdings to establish at least one day per year where specific attention is focused on properly destroying unneeded classified material. On Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, that day has been codified as the second Friday in March.
In addition to compliance with regulations, proper destruction of classified material decreases the risk of compromise, reduces the need for handling and control, creates additional space for storage and lessens costs associated with storage.
