Should a subscriber's SIPRNet email address be included on the DD Form 2842 when requesting NIPR ASCL/NEATS tokens?

The rationale behind not including a subscriber's SIPRNet email address on the DD Form 2842 when requesting NIPR ASCL/NEATS tokens lies in the specific purpose and operational contexts of these tokens.

NIPR ASCL/NEATS tokens are intended for use within the unclassified NIPRNet environment, which is separate from SIPRNet, the classified network. Including a SIPRNet email address might create confusion regarding the intended use of the tokens and could lead to processing errors in token requests. The separation of classified and unclassified systems is essential for maintaining security protocols and ensuring that operations on each network remain distinct and appropriate for their respective environments.

The clarity in delineating which email addresses are associated with specific networks is essential for the management of assets and security procedures within the PKI framework. Therefore, it is correct to exclude a SIPRNet email address from the DD Form 2842 when requesting tokens designated for use on NIPRNet.
