Which description correctly defines the COMSEC Courier?

Which description correctly defines the COMSEC Courier?

• A. Maintains encryption keys
• B. Oversees secure voice operations
• C. Stores and inventories COMSEC material
• D. Authorized to transport COMSEC

Answer: (D)

The role tested is about the authorized physical transport of COMSEC material. A COMSEC Courier is the person cleared to move COMSEC material between locations, handling it under secure transport procedures, maintaining the chain of custody, and ensuring proper handoff to the receiving party. This duty focuses on moving material safely and legally, not on creating or maintaining encryption keys, storing or inventorying material, or overseeing secure voice operations. Those other responsibilities belong to separate roles within the COMSEC program. Because the courier’s defining function is the authorized transport of COMSEC, that description best fits the role.
