COMSEC ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PACKET

(CARP)

PROCEDURES FOR COMPLETING

THE COMSEC ACCOUNT REGISTRATION PACKET

(U) Within the Army, the COMSEC Account Registration Packet has replaced the DA Form 2012.

This replacement was necessary due to the implementation of the Army Key Management System

(AKMS). The COMSEC Account Registration Packet contains items that are necessary for

inclusion into a national central database that will be maintained by the Tier 1 system and the

National Security Agency (NSA). All Army COMSEC accounts, whether traditional or Army Key

Management System (AKMS), must complete this packet when submitting changes to their

account structure. This packet will always be submitted to CSLA who, within the Electronic Key

Management System, acts as the Registration Authority (RA) for the Army.

(U) The following step-by-step instructions are provided to assist in the completion of the COMSEC

Account Registration Packet. The packet and the instructions have been designed to incorporate the

COMSEC Account Registration, as well as Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) registration. The

information provided should be based on the operational capabilities of the account.

(U) Within the Army, all classified COMSEC equipment, physical key, electronic key and/or any other

COMSEC Material Control System (CMCS) accountable material must be received and maintained in a

properly established COMSEC account. In addition, those COMSEC Accounts receiving electronic key

must register the EKMS attributes of the account with the Registration Authority (CSLA) and the Central

Facility (the NSA). The COMSEC Account Registration Packet accomplishes this requirement.

(U) One EKMS ID number will be assigned per account. For Command Authorities (CA) and User

Representatives (UR) not associated with a COMSEC account, the Tier 1 RA will assign an EKMS ID.

(U) The following information explains the various sections of the form, defines the data needed, and

identifies if the data is required or optional. The RA is the only element in the EKMS hierarchy that can

submit the registration packets to the NSA for Army COMSEC Accounts.

REGISTRATION PACKET DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS: This format is designed for use by all Army

Users.

(U) Servicing Tier 1 Registration Authority ID: LEAVE BLANK. When Tier 1 is operational, the Army

accounts will be divided between the Primary Tier 1 Site (PT1S) located at Fort Huachuca, AZ, and the

PT1S located at San Antonio, TX. Until that transition is accomplished, your Servicing COR EKMS ID will

be "5A6151." Each account will be notified, in advance, if their account has been randomly selected for

transfer to the PT1S located at San Antonio, TX. At that time, the account will be provided with the new

EKMS ID of their servicing COR.

(U) Agency Submitting Request: LEAVE BLANK. For Tier 1 RA Use ONLY.

E-1

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

TB 380-41

(U) Account Submitting Request:

Agency Name: Enter your unit name (i.e., 346^th Signal Battalion, Fort Gordon, GA).

Affiliation: "ARMY" will always be entered here. The required data has been provided for you on the

account registration packet.

Active Army/National Guard/Government Contractor/Reserves: Check the appropriate response

regarding the unit submitting the registration packet.

(U) Type of Action: (The unit must complete the entire registration packet regardless of the type of

action annotated).

(U) Register New Account: Used when establishing new COMSEC accounts, EKMS

account privileges at a COMSEC account or to assign an EKMS ID to an account. If you are a

Command Authority (CA) or User Representative (UR), check this block. CAs and URs must still

be registered at the Central Facility at Finksburg as they are using the CA and UR Registration

forms supplied by Finksburg. Your EKMS ID number will be your current COMSEC account

number. Provide the 6-digit EKMS ID or COMSEC Account Number of the account. If you do not

have a current account number, LEAVE BLANK and the Tier 1 Registration Authority will assign

your EKMS-ID.

(U) Modify Account: Once an account is established, any adjustments to the data are

considered modifications. Establishing an AKMS account from a traditional account is not a

modification; it is an establishment of a new account. Once an account is established, any

changes are considered modifications. Provide the 6-digit EKMS ID or COMSEC Account Number

of the account and the reason for the modification(s).

(U) Close Account: Indicates account is to be closed. Provide the 6-digit EKMS ID or

COMSEC Account Number of the account.

of the account including: Unit Designation; ATTN: COMSEC Account (number); physical location

(e.g., street address, building number, room number); city, state, and zip code or APO/FPO

(OCONUS).

material the account can receive. All accounts handling cryptographic material regardless of form

(hard copy, electronic, etc.), are required to provide an HCI as defined in the following matrix:
