AF1 aircrew are required to have a Category Two YANKEE WHITE security clearance. I presume this administrative nickname will soon have to be changed to something more politically correct in the woke Black Lives Matter era.
Some excerpts from DoD Instruction 5210.87 for the sea lawyers here:
The investigative request shall be processed as follows:
E3.3.1. The administrative nickname “YANKEE WHITE” must be stamped or printed in the Remarks section of the DD Form 1879, “Request for Personnel Security Investigation,” for all Presidential support requests that are manually submitted. For those electronic submissions of the DD Form 1879, “YANKEE WHITE” will be typed in item 1 and the form will then be stamped by the Defense Security Service (DSS) upon completion of the investigation. All requests for investigation must indicate whether or not the individual is being processed for a security clearance by any other Department or Agency of the Federal Government.
E3.3.2. Scope of investigation required:
E3.3.2.1. Personnel assigned to Category One or Category Two (enclosure 2) duties must have a favorably completed single scope background investigation (SSBI) within 36 months preceding selection for Presidential support duties. If an individual marries subsequent to the completion of the SSBI, a National Agency Check (NAC) on the spouse must be conducted. Category One nominees shall be required to sign a tax information waiver form. The Executive Secretary shall process the tax form through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT PROGRAM STANDARDS
E4.1.1. In addition to the adjudication standards contained in DoD 5200.2-R (reference (c)), individuals under consideration for Presidential support duties are also subject to the standards listed below to ensure that the assignment or retention is clearly consistent with optimum Presidential security and support. The determination must be a common sense judgment based on all available information.
E4.1.5. Minimum Requirements for Nomination
E4.1.5.1. U.S. citizenship.
E4.1.5.2. High degree of maturity, discretion, and trustworthiness.
E4.1.5.3. Unquestionable loyalty to the United States.
E4.1.5.4. Satisfactory past and present duty performance.
E4.1.7. Discretionary Criteria
E4.1.7.3. Immediate family are citizens of another country. Immediate family under this Instruction includes spouse, offspring, living parents, brothers, sisters, or other relatives or persons to whom the individual is closely linked by affection or obligation. It must be determined that family members are not subject to physical, mental, or other forms of duress by a foreign power and who do not advocate or practice acts of force or violence to prevent others from exercising their rights under the constitution or laws of the United States or any State or subdivision thereof.
