Key changes include incorporating civilian police access to mental health services post-incident, revised Physical Agility Test (PAT) standards, an updated Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) address, and significant updates to Security Forces (SF) governance. The memorandum details changes to the Security Forces Enterprise Governance (SFEG) structure, purpose, responsibilities, and roles, introducing new bodies like the Security Forces Executive Board (SFEB) and Integrated Base Defense Security Systems (IBDSS) Tri-Chair. It also establishes new working groups such as the Integrated Base Defense Security Systems Working Group (IBDSSWG), Requirements Working Group (RWG), and SF Training Working Group (SFTWG). Furthermore, the document emphasizes SF Innovation, outlining Targeted and Channeled Innovations, and introduces 'Defender Spark' as the innovation hub. The PAT standards for push-ups and the 1.5-mile run have been adjusted, and alternate events for incumbents with medical duty-limiting conditions are specified. This guidance memorandum is temporary, becoming void after one year or upon publication of an interim change or rewrite of DAFI 31-118.
