Key Reads — When the Customer Needs Short-Term Support

SUMMARY

Key Reads are events for which a customer need a quick turnaround of cryptologic services -- for example, if the military is planning an operation and needs support from the NSA. These last-minute requests are sent to centers across the organization that can temporarily refocus on responding to the Key Reads, although they do not replace existing priorities.
