Requesting Sigmas 1-13 for Visitors with a DoD/USG Clearance

Below are several sets of "visitor characteristics" for individuals holding a Department of Defense / U.S. Government SECRET or TOP SECRET clearance. For each set there is a corresponding summary of the procedures that need to be followed for a visitor who has those characteristics so that the visitor is properly approved for one or more Sigmas in the range of Sigma 1 to Sigma 13.
