Which term describes military or civilian employees of a foreign government or international organization who are assigned to a cooperative program at a DoD Component or DoD contractor facility?

• A. Cooperative Program Personnel (CPP)
• B. Counterintelligence (CI)
• C. CISA
• D. Countermeasure

Answer: (A)

The concept here is recognizing the official personnel category for foreign-government or international-organization staff who are embedded in a DoD cooperative program. When military or civilian personnel from a foreign government or international organization are assigned to work within a cooperative program at a DoD component or a DoD contractor facility, they are designated as Cooperative Program Personnel. This label identifies their role as participants in a joint program and signals the need for appropriate security oversight and compatibility with the DoD environment.

Counterintelligence is the activity focused on identifying and countering foreign intelligence threats, not a personnel category. CISA refers to a cybersecurity information-sharing act, not a type of employee. A countermeasure is a security control used to mitigate threats, not a classification of people. Thus, Cooperative Program Personnel is the best fit.
