The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or to the Contracting Officer (if a COR is not assigned). AT Level I awareness training is available at the following website: https://jkodirect.jten.mil/.

3.2.3 Eagle Watch Training:

https://jkodirect.jten.mil/
