DoD CAF stands for?

• A. DoD Consolidated Adjudication Facility
• B. DoD Central Adjudication Facility
• C. DoD Central Adjudicative Facility
• D. DoD Central Adjudicative Framework

Answer: (C)

Central Adjudicative Facility is the DoD office that makes final security clearance decisions after a background investigation. It applies the Adjudicative Guidelines to determine whether someone is eligible for access to classified information, weighing risks and mitigating factors to ensure consistent, nationwide determinations across DoD components and contractors. The term reflects the process-oriented, decision-making role of the facility in adjudicating clearance cases. The other wording shifts “adjudicative” to resemble a noun or framework or changes the meaning (consolidated or framework) and isn’t the standard DoD name for this central office.
