Operations Security (OPSEC). OPSEC shall be considered across the entire spectrum of DoD missions, functions, programs, and activities. OPSEC is applicable to all personnel, missions, and supporting activities on a daily basis.

For OPSEC to be effective, all Army personnel (Soldiers, Family members, DA civilians, and contractors) must be aware of OPSEC and understand how it compliments traditional security programs. OPSEC principles and tactics protect not just organizations, but also individuals, their families, and other loved ones.

Personnel who knowingly, willfully, or negligently fail to protect critical information from unauthorized disclosure may be subject to administrative, disciplinary, contractual, or criminal action.

OPSEC awareness and execution is crucial to Army Success. The risk of exposure to critical or classified information is mitigated by providing OPSEC training.

1. Initial OPSEC awareness training. All newly assigned personnel within the first 30 days of arrival in the organization (this includes accessions and initial entry programs) must receive initial training. It is recommended this training be conducted as part of an initial entry briefing or unit/organization newcomer’s briefings. This training is provided by TYADs OPSEC officer and can be conducted via distance learning, providing all necessary objectives are met.

Initial training focuses on TYAD-specific critical information and countermeasures. Contractors must email TYADs OPSEC Officer to schedule OPSEC Level I Initial training (in person or via MS Teams). Initial training may not be “read and initial”.

2. Continuous (annual) OPSEC awareness training. OPSEC awareness training must be continually provided to the workforce, reemphasizing the importance of sound OPSEC practices.

OPSEC Level I Continuous (annual) training is available at the following website:

https://securityawareness.usalearning.gov/opsec/index.htm

The contractor shall submit OPSEC Level I Continual (annual) certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR (before the contract report date) within 10 calendar days after completion of training. Completion of training may be documented on an ELTY 583, TYAD On-Post Training Record or contractor equivalent.

OPSEC Countermeasures. The specific OPSEC countermeasures that follow are intended to eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities. Complying with established security policies and procedures also supports the overall OPSEC objective. All personnel (Soldiers, civilians, and contractors) at every level are required to protected critical information that could potentially be exploited by adversaries. The following OPSEC countermeasures support the protection of critical information identified in TYADs OPSEC Level I Initial training, TYADs Critical Information List, and they are required to be implemented by everyone in all day-to-day activities.

1. Complete mandatory training, practice OPSEC, and implement TYAD OPSEC countermeasures to protect critical information (CI) and other sensitive unclassified information in the execution of military operations performed or supported by the contractor in support of the mission.
