7.1 Operations Security

Operations Security (OPSEC) is concerned with the protection of critical information: facts about intentions, capabilities, operations, or activities that are needed by adversaries or competitors to bring about failure or unacceptable consequences of mission accomplishment.

Critical information includes information regarding:

- Operations, missions, and exercises, test schedules or locations;

- Location/movement of sensitive information, equipment, or facilities;

- Force structure and readiness (e.g., recall rosters);

- Capabilities, vulnerabilities, limitations, security weaknesses;

- Intrusions/attacks of DoD networks or information systems;

- Network (and system) user identifications and passwords;

- Movements of key personnel or visitors (itineraries, agendas, etc.); and

- Security classification of equipment, systems, operations, etc.

The Contractor, subcontractors and their personnel shall employ the following countermeasures to mitigate the susceptibility of critical information to exploitation, when applicable:

- Practice OPSEC and facilitate OPSEC awareness;

- Immediately retrieve documents from printers assessable by the public;

- Shred sensitive and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) documents when no longer needed;

- Protect information from personnel without a need-to-know;

- When promulgating information, limit details to that essential for legitimacy;

- During testing and evaluation, practice OPSEC methodologies of staging out of sight, desensitization, or speed of execution, whenever possible.
