DoDOPSR

The Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) is a U.S. government department under the Pentagon's Washington Headquarters Services. Founded in 1949 as the Security Review Branch within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, it manages prepublication security reviews for DoD personnel, veterans, and affiliates to prevent disclosure of classified or sensitive information damaging to national security. Key activities include reviewing manuscripts, articles, books, and multimedia via forms like DD1910, coordinating with stakeholders for accuracy and policy compliance. Its legality stems from non-disclosure agreements, upheld in cases like Snepp v. United States. In UAP/UFO contexts, DOPSR approved Luis Elizondo's Form 1910 for his AATIP-related book. Currently operational, it faces review backlogs.
