In which step of the OPSEC process do you select and implement tentative OPSEC measures?

The intelligence functions in an army can be categorized into various sections such as military intelligence, signals intelligence, human intelligence, and geospatial intelligence. These sections work together to gather and analyze information to support military operations and decision-making.
All of the following are steps in the OPSEC process except "implementing security measures." The OPSEC process typically involves identifying critical information, analyzing threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and applying countermeasures to protect sensitive information. Implementing security measures may be a result of the OPSEC analysis but is not a formal step in the OPSEC process itself.

The elements of an OPSEC threat include identifying valuable information or assets, determining potential adversaries who may seek to exploit them, analyzing vulnerabilities that could be targeted by adversaries, and assessing the likelihood of a successful threat scenario. OPSEC threats can emerge from a variety of sources, such as human intelligence gathering, technical surveillance, or even unintentional disclosure of sensitive information. To mitigate OPSEC threats, organizations should implement comprehensive security measures and protocols.
A functional, active, and documented OPSEC program will have the following common features: an OPSEC Program Manager or OPSEC Officer appointed in writing; the use of the five-step OPSEC process; an OPSEC SOP to document the unit, activity, installation, or staff organization's critical information and OPSEC measures to protect it; and the coordination of OPSEC with other security programs.

OPSEC (Operations Security) is a process that identifies critical information that could be useful to adversaries, analyzes the risks of that information being compromised, and takes measures to protect it from potential threats. It involves identifying vulnerabilities, assessing risks, developing countermeasures, implementing safeguards, and continually evaluating and adjusting security measures to protect sensitive information. OPSEC aims to deny adversaries the information they need to exploit vulnerabilities and undermine security.
