I held a TS SCI clearance when I was a reserve army intelligence officer and was not required to submit to any polygraph screening "test." That was some 20 years ago, but I believe that the policy is still the same: for military personnel, polygraph screening is not a general requirement for a TS clearance with SCI access. However, if one is "read on to" a special access program, polygraph screening may be required. In such cases, DoD uses a counterintelligence-scope polygraph interrogation, in which relevant questions concern matters of national security, but not so-called "lifestyle" questions such as drug use or sexual behavior. DoD uses a polygraph technique called the Test for Espionage and Sabotage. Virtually everyone who is polygraphed with this technique and does not make any substantive admission ultimately passes.

http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/prerequ/WO255A.shtml Certainly if any military assignment called for working with the CIA one would very definitely be polygraphed by the "Agency". This requires a TS with SCI and im curious if they would do a polygraph for this? This is the national guard.
If so what kind of questions would they focus on?
jmont,
