The National Nuclear Security Administrations Office of Secure Transportation is an agency that employs and deploys federal agents to protect the United States nuclear supply and transport sensitive material.
This agency is under the DOE and was established in 1947 and has since transitioned to the Office of Secure Transportation.
The agency has three commands based in:
– Albuquerque, NN
– Amarillo, TX
– Oak Ridge, TN
Each agent must go through rigorous training that includes tactics, variety of weapons familiarity, convoy and truck operations.
Each agent must pass successful backgrounds investigations and obtain a Q | TS clearance. A Q clearance specifically revolved around nuclear material and access to nuclear sites.
I’ve attached the following links to the agency’s website, videos, photographs of each command and area of responsibility, and even job posting.
It should be noted that DOE’s elite team is armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, capable of armed militarized conflict, and each truck in operation is completely bulletproof with fighting areas and port holes similar to police SWAT vehicles.
Agents are trained for armed conflict and given unique armed engagement protocols to protect all material in the name of national security.
Many of you may have even seen the convoys traversing on interstates but didn’t even think it was anything of interest. That’s because every convoy is clandestine in nature with tail vehicles and surveillance working at all hours of the day and night. This occurs everyday, and agents are responsible for locating, securing, and retrieving all craft and material in the United States.
