Transferring Responsibility for Background Investigations to the Department of Defense: Which is NOT a type of investigation?

Transferring Responsibility for Background Investigations to the Department of Defense: Which is NOT a type of investigation?

• A. T2
• B. RSI
• C. SBPR
• D. CE

Answer: (D)

This question tests the distinction between a formal background investigation and ongoing monitoring. T2, RSI, and SBPR describe specific investigative processes with defined scope used to determine or reassess a person’s eligibility for access. Continuous Evaluation, on the other hand, is ongoing monitoring of an individual after an initial clearance, not a discrete investigative inquiry. It serves to identify changes that could affect eligibility rather than to establish it from the outset. So Continuous Evaluation is not a type of background investigation.
