PURPOSE

The purpose of the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) is to ensure that each person selected and retained for performing duties associated with nuclear weapons or nuclear command and control systems and equipment is emotionally stable and physically capable, and has demonstrated reliability and professional competence. This shall be accomplished through the initial and continual evaluation of individuals assigned to PRP duties. The management of the PRP is a function of command. However, each person assigned to PRP duties is responsible for their reliability and has an obligation to report to the certifying official any behavior or circumstance about themselves or others in the PRP that may be expected to result in degradation in job performance or personal reliability or an unsafe or insecure condition involving nuclear weapons and/or Nuclear Command and Control (NC2) material. The PRP supporting agencies and supervisors of individuals performing PRP duties shall assist the reviewing and certifying officials in their initial and continuing evaluation duties by ensuring that all PDI is made available for their consideration. This Regulation provides procedures for the implementation of DoD  5210.42 (Reference (h)).
