Remediation - Manual Procedure

Ensure the local site/enclave security manager has developed written procedures on proper marking of classified documents / media/ equipment.  These procedures should primarily involve guidance for employees concerning what to mark, how to mark items, where classified labels, stamps and other marking tools and supplies are located, etc.  Reference to DoD or component marking guides should be in the local procedures with information on how/where to obtain copies.
