The Department of Defense (DoD) Suitability and Fitness Guide (“the Guide”) was developed for the purpose of supporting the end-to-end employment suitability and fitness processes throughout DoD. The Guide pulls together information from multiple sources into a single document to include both open-source guidance from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), as well as DoD policy and procedures. It is intended to serve as a convenient reference and supplement to OPM and DoD suitability training.
Although the Guide cites both OPM and DoD policy, it is not U.S. Government policy and may not be cited as authority for denial or revocation of employment suitability or fitness. The Guide was developed by the Department of Defense Personnel and Security Research Center Division of the Defense Manpower Data Center for use by the DoD suitability and fitness communities.
User Input: User input is needed to make the Guide as useful as possible and to inform future updates. Individual users, as well as supervisors and managers, are invited to communicate directly and informally concerning suggested additions, deletions, changes, questions or comments regarding this product.
