information awareness training army

Army information awareness training is covered in the following regulation: AR 25-2, Information Assurance

Army Regulation 25-2 is the Army Information Assurance Program (AIAP) which covers information awareness by talking about protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of unclassified, sensitive, or classified information stored, processed, accessed, or transmitted by Army Information Systems. AIAP is the Army’s implementation of DODD 8500.1, DODI 8500.2, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Manual (CJCSM) 6510.01 to align Information Assurance goals.

Like all of the others branches of the US Armed Forces, the Army certification & Accreditation part of the IA program will have to change to a more risk management framework as the DoD changes to a more NIST back Risk Management Frame work. But most of the main best practice system security items won’t change.
