New employees shall complete the training within 10 calendar days of commencing performance of work under this contract, with the results reported to the COR NLT 15 calendar days of employee commencing performance of work under this contract.

1.11.3. iWatch is simply common awareness. Contract employees can be good sources of information. iWatch training would include organization instructions on “things to look for” and a phone number to call in case the contract employees have information regarding possible terrorist or criminal activities. Providing Contractors with awareness materials such as the iWatch brochure or wallet card is a cost effective alternative to training. The card describes suspicious activity and can be modified to include the COR in reporting procedures. Samples of the iWatch brochure and posters are available on the Antiterrorism Enterprise Portal (ATEP) at https://army.deps.mil/army/sites/PMG/prog/ATEP/iWATCH%20Army/Forms/AllItems.
