OPSEC/PRESEC


What is OPSEC?

OPSEC : OPSEC or Operations Security is being aware of what you are sharing because it could give away more information than you intended – this is usually related to military or combat operations.

But when I hear people talking about specific dates for the next deployment at the Commissary or the NEX?
Or openly discussing the training schedule at the Post Office?

PLEASE
  • Don’t talk about the time frame.
  • Don’t talk about the mission.
  • Don’t talk about equipment.
  • Don’t talk about numbers.
  • Don’t talk about destinations.
  • Don’t spread rumors.
  • Don’t share pictures with unit insignia

Phone, email, chat rooms, message boards, blogs.
Always assume someone is listening.

This also means, NO countdowns. 


What is PRESEC?
PERSEC : PERSEC or Personal Security is also being aware of what you are sharing because it could give away more information than you intended – this is usually of a more personal nature.


So please remember what your posting is not only 
putting your husband at risk, but everyone elses.
