Network Manager Security (NMS) Information


Purpose:

Train Department of Defense personnel for the practical application of network security techniques.

The NMS course will train Army IA personnel on network security focusing on a hands-on approach to learning. Attendance at this course is NOT mandatory to satisfy the Army Technical Level 2 TRAINING requirement, but is a valuable supplement to the Security+ course and is highly recommended.

Prerequisites and Documentation:

  • DA civilians require a DD Form 1610 or SF Form 182 (in lieu of DD Form 1556 per SF 182 memorandum).
  • Any personal without TDY orders are required to have a signed memorandum. (example)

    • All documentation must state that the student is directed to attend the Network Manager Security Course(s). If this statement is not on the documentation, the student's home organization must amend the documents and fax them to IA while student is attending class, which can delay the student from receiving the certificate of completion. Students can be removed from class if documentation is not properly submitted.

    NOTE: Both training completion certificates and additional documentation must be presented to instructor on the first day of class.

    Enrollment:

    Students must communicate with their training coordinators to register for the Security+ and NMS courses in ATRRS. Training coordinators have enrollment access to ATRRS to register students for classes. Please NOTE: Instructors and staff of Information Assurance at Ft. Gordon and other training locations DO NOT have enrollment access to ATRRS and do not have the ability to enroll students.
