1. What is OPSEC?

OPSEC applies to all activities that prepare, sustain, or employ the military during all phases of operations.
2. Who is the enemy? Anyone that has intentions to harm military members or whose actions are damaging to the success of military program activities or operations. The enemy collects threat information through Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). OSINT is drawn from publicly available material such as the Internet, traditional mass media (e.g. television, radio, newspapers, magazines), photographs, and geospatial information (e.g. maps, Google Earth, etc.)
2. OPSEC is defined as a process of identifying, analyzing and controlling critical information indicating friendly actions associated with military operations and other activities to:
A. Identify those actions that can be observed by adversary intelligence systems.
B. Determine what specific indications could be collected, analyzed, and interpreted to derive critical information in time to be useful to adversaries
C. Select and execute measures that eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to adversary exploitation.
3. Critical Information is defined as specific facts about friendly intentions, capabilities, or activities vitally needed by adversaries for them to plan and act effectively to guarantee failure or unacceptable consequences for friendly mission accomplishment.
4. Threat is defined as the capability of an adversary coupled with his intentions to undertake any actions detrimental to the success of program activities or operations.
5. Adversaries collect threat information through Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). OSINT is drawn from publicly available material such as, but not limited to:
The Internet
Traditional mass media (e.g. television, radio, newspapers, magazines)
