CONTRACT ADDENDUM FOR OPERATIONS SECURITY

1. This section outlines the requirements and procedures necessary for contractors to provide

Operations Security (OPSEC) protection for 27 SOW’s critical information.

2. OPSEC is the process of identifying, analyzing and controlling critical information indicating friendly actions attendant to military operations and other activities to:

a. Identify those actions that can be observed by adversary intelligence systems.

b. Determine what indicators adversary intelligence systems might obtain that could be interpret or pieced together to derive critical information in time to be useful to adversaries.

c. Select and execute countermeasures that eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to adversary exploitation.

3. OPSEC principles are used to help assigned personnel:

a. Maintain a continuing awareness of adversary interest in SOF actions and adversary intelligence collection capabilities.

b. To understand the need to identify and protect classified and unclassified indicators that reveal sensitive information.

c. To evaluate the effectiveness of OPSEC measures taken to preclude or reduce adversary acquisition and exploitation of sensitive information.

4. Our objectives are to:

a. Protect planned operational activities by preventing the inadvertent disclosure of unclassified information relating to or revealing a possible classified operation.

b. To preserve secrecy concerning specific scenario events and a USSOCOM or AFSOC response to these events.

c. To identify OPSEC vulnerabilities and recommend protective measures which will serve to enhance the security of future operations.

5. Contractors working on Cannon AFB/Melrose Air Force Range will be provided wing-specific OPSEC education training by the assigned wing/ unit’s OPSEC program manager/coordinator on the wing/ unit’s OPSEC requirements before being given full access to or around an AFSOC installation, organization, facility or information, but not more than 30 days prior to initial access. Individual training will be developed and applied as required by the level of contact with AFSOC critical information.

6. OPSEC requirements, critical information lists and assistance can be found at the following:

a. Reference AFI 10-701 or contact the Cannon Air Force Base Signature Management
