Fairchild AFB Contractor OPSEC Level 0 Measures

1. The Operations Security (OPSEC) program reduces potential vulnerabilities of Air Force missions to hostile intelligence collection by preventing exposure of sensitive information.

OPSEC applies to all activities that prepare, sustain, or employ forces during both peacetime and wartime operations.

2. As your organization is contracted to perform work in support of the Fairchild AFB mission, you are responsible to protect this information. Sensitive, or Critical Information includes specific facts about U.S. Air Force operational intentions, capabilities or activities that are vitally needed by potential enemies to plan and act against US military mission accomplishment.

3. Contractor employees who visit Fairchild AFB or remote FAFB installations, or remotely monitor or maintain Fairchild AFB infrastructure will:

a. Within 30 days of reporting for duty become familiar with the following types of

Fairchild AFB Critical Information and Operational Indicators that must be protected from disclosure. These include details of the following information categories:

- Critical Information

Current and future operations and/or exercises

Vulnerabilities, degradation, outages of critical infrastructures / telecommunications

Emergency response or base defense plans

Perceived changes to, or details of, normal operating procedures

- Operational Indicators

Unit recall

Abnormal Changes of Duty Schedules

Increased Transport Activity

Increased Security

Unusual Working Hours

Unusual Increase in Aircraft Maintenance or Servicing

b. Protect critical information from disclosure to unauthorized people. These include other employees that are not part of the contracted work project, associates, family members and members of the news media.

c. Prevent disclosure of critical and sensitive information in any public domain to include but not limited to the Internet and other public forums.

d. Avoid publishing photographs, blogs, tweets that describe or display sensitive operations.

Examples include but are not limited to military formations and exercises, drills, emergency response procedures, and the protective measures of military facilities.

e. Destroy (burn, shred, etc.) critical and sensitive information that is no longer needed to prevent the inadvertent disclosure or reconstruction of this material.

NOTE. Contract employees who fail to protect critical information from unauthorized disclosure may be subject to adverse administrative, disciplinary or contractual action.

4. Contract employees will consider attempts by unauthorized personnel to solicit critical information or sensitive information as a human intelligence (HUMINT) incident against the

U.S. Air Force. If you have been involved in, or have knowledge of, a possible HUMINT incident, please report all facts immediately to the Fairchild Office of Special Investigations

(AFOSI). If AFOSI is not readily available, report HUMINT incidents to the supported organization’s security manager, commander, or one of the other offices listed below:
