Recently, there has been buzz (bzzzzzzzzzzzz) concerning new DOD guidance allowing USB removable media devices (i.e., thumb drives) back into the network environment. The Air Force is studying the rules and information contained in the guidance regarding mandatory training, accountability, documentation, checks, auditing, and other constraints. For now, the existing policy stands: Personnel cannot use thumb drives on the HAF network. AFSPC is diligently working with the communications experts from 24th Air Force and SAF/XC staff to develop new standardized policies, procedures and controls on how the Air Force will be able to utilize thumb drive devices.
