why is it called scattered castles
The Intelligence Community Directory: Scattered Castles. Scattered Castles is a closed system with limited access for security personnel and does not electronically connect with JPAS. Intelligence Community Policy Guidance 704.5 provides the authority and basic information regarding Scattered Castles. I have never had access to Scattered Castles so I cannot comment on its functionality. The primary reason that information contained in Scattered Castles is not transferred into JPAS is that Scattered Castles not only holds SCI eligibility and access information for military and contractor personnel, but also employees of the IC agencies.
