The Department of Defense (DoD) defines an individual with a need for "regular access" to classified information as someone who requires ongoing access to such information to perform their official duties effectively. This designation typically applies to personnel whose roles involve consistent engagement with classified materials, necessitating a thorough understanding of security protocols. Regular access is granted only after a comprehensive background check and clearance process, ensuring that individuals can be trusted with sensitive information.
