Once a member is placed in confinement, commands must have qualified escorts to move both pre-trial and post-trial prisoners to and from the Brig. 
To be qualified, personnel must meet screening criteria, attend a one-day Brig Basic Escort Class and pass a written proficiency test.  Successful completion will result in the issuance of an Basic Escort Identification Card.  The certification is good for one year.
 
Everyone that escorts a prisoner is required to attend escort training if they do not have a Corrections Navy Enlisted Classification.
