I’m surprised that anything at all is still printed on paper for the highest levels of review.
I assume they would use only e-versions, which can control/track who sees them, and how long they exist.
But I don’t work for DoD, so defer to anyone who has experience there.
Watch the movie Family of Spies based on the real story of Warrant Officer John Walker. The complete lack of security is laughable and the fact that the Navy spent 8 years using the same encryption system after they new it had been compromised.
They called them “documents” but they were electronic. Some of them were powerpoint briefing presentations.
It’s like when you use your phone to “film” your kid’s play. It’s not really film, but we still call it that out of habit.
We all know how well electronic archiving did with Herself.
