Under DODD 5240.06, Reportable Foreign Intelligence Contacts, Activities, Indicators, and Behaviors; which of the following is not reportable?

• A. Contact with Known or Suspected Foreign Intelligence
• B. Removing of classified markings
• C. Unexplained or undue affluence
• D. None of these

Answer: (D)

The question tests which behaviors must be reported under the DoD policy for foreign intelligence contacts and indicators. Under DODD 5240.06, each of the items described is considered a reportable warning sign. A contact with known or suspected foreign intelligence is itself a red flag that security personnel need to review. Removing classified markings is a serious breach of how sensitive information is handled and signals potential exposure or intent to misuse classified material, so it must be reported. Unexplained or undue affluence can point to coercion, bribery, or foreign influence, which also warrants reporting to assess risk and intervene. Since all three examples are reportable, there isn’t anything on the list that would be not reportable, making the correct interpretation that none of these are excluded from reporting.
