Check Text (C-49209r917194_chk)
Check the accreditation package with only a cursory review to ensure the ATO/IATO are current.

1. Check the SIPRNet/NIPRNet connection approval package. Conduct a cursory review for any traditional security issues.

2. Ensure the approvals are current. The approvals must come from the DISN Connection Approval Office (CAO).

TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: The check is applicable. The ATO and associated documentation should be found in a fixed HQ location where the ISSM/ISSO are located. When possible, documentation should be requested/sought before departing on trips to tactical locations. Copies sent to the reviewer's email (NIPR or SIPR depending on classification of document) can be used to validate compliance.

Note: If any one of the approvals is missing, this is a finding.
