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:

- Vulnerabilities, degradation, outages of critical infrastructures / telecommunications

- Key personnel/VIP schedules and travel itineraries

- Personnel, acquisition and logistics information

- Emergency response or base defense plans

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.

(1) DOD computer systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, to ensure that their use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security. Network monitoring is done in accordance with AFR 33-129.
