A member of the Canadian Air Force assigned temporarily at a DOD agency requires what type of authorization?

A member of the Canadian Air Force assigned temporarily at a Department of Defense (DOD) agency typically requires Limited Access Authorization. This form of authorization is specifically designed for personnel who need access to certain restricted areas or classified information for a limited time. It reflects the temporary nature of their assignment and allows them to perform their duties without necessitating a full security clearance, which is a more extensive and permanent form of authorization that involves in-depth backgrounds and investigations.

Limited Access Authorization strikes a balance between the need for national security and the operational requirements of personnel who are not permanent members of the DOD but still need to comply with security protocols while engaging in specific functions related to their assignment.
