What is in it, exactly

The format never changes, so it scans in a minute.

Policy changes

Up to five items from the Federal Register matching security clearance or Department of Defense industrial security, and from the ODNI counterintelligence newsroom, in two or three sentences from the document’s own text, checked. ClearanceJobs News and Federal News Network appear as a one-line pointer and a link.

New cleared roles

Up to five roles from the ClearedBuild jobs feed, which lists only roles that name a clearance at defense, space and national security companies, read from their own careers boards. Roles with stated pay come first.

No study block yet

When a verified question bank exists for a clearance-adjacent certification, a study question joins the format. Until then the issue has two sections, not three.
