Per references (b) and (c), Navy military, civilian, and contractor personnel with access to unclassified or classified networks must complete the Department of Defense (DoD) employee version of CAC by 30 September 2021. 3. Personnel who completed CAC 2020 after 30 September 2020 but before CAC 2021 was available shall receive credit for their annual FY21 training. 4. Authorized methods for training delivery: a. Commands can elect to complete CAC training using instructor-led delivery. A command designated cybersecurity professional such as the Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) or Cybersecurity Workforce (CSWF) Program Manager must provide the training. b. Total Workforce Management Service (TWMS), https://twms.navy.mil/ selfservice/login.asp; c. Navy e-Learning (NEL), https://learning.nel.navy.mil; (Note: The My Navy Portal, https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/general-skills-training/gmt (redirects users to the NEL link)); d. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) website, https://cyber.mil/ training/cyber-awareness-challenge/ e. Other approved training sources, DISA Digital Video Discs (DVDs). 5. Ships can access the annual training from the NEL application hosted on the Navy Information/Application Product Suite (NIAPS) server, eliminating the need to reach back to shore hosted NEL websites. The CAC 2021 course is available via the NEL Afloat Learning Management System Pub Amendment 112 for download by the NIAPS Administrator using the normal manual NIAPS distance support update process. If unable to download Learning Management System Pub Amendment 112, ships can request a DVD with these files to be mailed by submitting a support request to Navy 311. 6. Although CAC training is an individual responsibility, commanders and commanding officers are accountable for 100 percent completion of their personnel. Effective as of September 1, 2020, the DoD Cyber Hygiene Scorecard collects information on the number of users who completed annual Cybersecurity Awareness training and the scorecard is briefed quarterly to the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Training officers are responsible for ensuring their personnel complete and properly document the required training. 7. Command training officers must validate training completed via TWMS or Fleet Training Management and Planning System (FLTMPS) (https://ntmpsweb.ncdc.navy.mil/fltmps/) authoritative databases. For training completed via the DISA website, DISA DVDs, or instructor-led, training officers will manually record completed training in FLTMPS using the Learning Event Completion Form. Report any discrepancies to the Navy Training Management Planning System Operational Support office at ntmps.support(at)navy.mil or (866) 438-2898/DSN 922-1867. 8. The ISSM is responsible for reporting compliance to meet Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 requirements. Command ISSMs will disable accounts of users who do not complete training by 30 September 2021 and provide non-compliance list to the Echelon II training officer for consolidation and final reporting to Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) CIO1 at Navy CSWF Program Helpline at Navy_CWF_Program.fct(at)navy.mil. POC for NAVIFOR CIO1 is Josh Wright, joshua.wright7(at)navy.mil. 9. This NAVADMIN will remain in effect until cancelled or superseded. 10. Released by VADM Jeffrey E.
