Joint Program Executive Office For Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD)

Critical Information List (CIL)

1. Operations Security (OPSEC) protects sensitive, but generally unclassified information that is critical to Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD) mission. Critical information consists of specific facts about our Capabilities, Activities, Limitations, and Intentions (CALI). The Critical Information List (CIL) is a consolidated list of the JPEO-CBD’s critical information.

2. Once the CIL has been created, OPSEC measures must be applied during operations, missions, training, exercises, or other activities where that information might be compromised. Not all critical information needs to be protected throughout an operation.

Some elements need to be protected only during specific events; others may need protection at all times. Examples of types of information that are critical to the JPEO- CBD is below:

(a) Administration / Personnel

• Schedules revealing when sensitive events will occur.

• Orders and movement of JPEO-CBD key personnel.

• Casualty, damage, and serious incident reports.

• Lists identifying a lack of personnel in critical specialties.

• Rosters identifying personnel by position, military occupation specialty, rank or social security number.

• Deployment manning documents related to troop movements.

• Detailed travel itineraries for high-risk personnel.

• Cancellation of leave or emergency recall of personnel.

(b) Intelligence

• Effectiveness and employment of collection platforms.

• Intelligence collection efforts and methods.

• Collection operations

• Human Intelligence (HUMINT) operations.

• Counter Intelligence (CI) operations.

• Threat Awareness Reporting Program (TARP) incidents.

(e) Installation

3. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). FOUO is a designation that is applied to unclassified information that is exempt from mandatory release to the public under the FOIA. The FOIA specifies nine categories of information, which can be withheld from release if requested by a member of the public (see The Department of the Army Freedom of Information Act Program (AR 25-55) for more details).

4. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CUI is unclassified information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls, pursuant to and consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and government-wide policies. It includes U.S. information that is determined to be exempt from public disclosure according, but not limited to DoDD 5230.25, DOD Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program (DoDD 5400.7), AR 25-55, The Army Privacy Program (AR 340-21).

Or that is subject to export controls according to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). CUI does not qualify for formal classification, it should be afforded OPSEC measures for additional protection because of its vulnerability as unclassified information.

5. Information that listed under the JPEO-CBD’s CIL should be marked and handled as “Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)” or “For Official Use Only (FOUO)”.
