To reduce the vulnerability of Air Force missions from successful adversary exploitation of critical information
OPSEC as a capability of Information Operations
Reduce mission vulnerabilities, protect critical/sensitive information, safeguard mission plans (regardless of calssification) and deter adversaries access.
Reduce Vulnerabilities to AF missions Protect critical and sensitive information Safeguard mission plans, even if unclassified Deter adversaries from gaining vulnerable information
To determine what needs protection.
Operational security (OPSEC) is designed to protect sensitive information from adversaries by identifying and mitigating risks associated with its disclosure. The purpose of OPSEC is to prevent the enemy from gaining insights into plans, operations, or capabilities that could compromise missions or security. By implementing OPSEC measures, organizations can safeguard critical data and enhance overall situational awareness. Ultimately, it helps maintain a strategic advantage and ensures the safety of personnel and assets.
