OPSEC
What is OPSEC?
OPSEC stands for “Operational Security” and strives to keep potential adversaries from discovering our
critical information. As the name suggests, it protects our operations—planned, in progress and those
completed. Success depends on secrecy and surprise, so the military can accomplish the mission quicker
with less risk. Enemies of freedom want our information, and they’re not just after the military member to get
it. They want you, the family member!
You are a vital player in our success!
As a family member of the Air Force community, you are a vital player in our success and we couldn’t do our
job without your support. You may not know it, but you also play a crucial role in protecting your loved ones
just by what you know of the Air Force’s day to day operations. You can protect your loved ones by
practicing good operations security.
What can you do?
There are many countries and organizations that would like to take a bite out of American interests. It’s
possible and not unprecedented for spouses and family members of U.S. military personnel to be targeted
for intelligence collection. Even here in America! What can you do?
Be Alert
Foreign governments and organizations can collect significant amounts of useful information by using spies.
A foreign agent may use a variety of approaches to befriend someone and get sensitive information. This
sensitive information can be critical to the success of a terrorist or spy.
Be Careful
There may be times where your spouse cannot talk about the specifics of his or her job. It’s very important
to conceal and protect certain information such as flight schedules, TDY, locations, and base activities, just
to name a few. Something as simple as discussing over the phone where your spouse is going TDY or
deploying to can be very useful to a potential adversary.
Protecting Critical Information
Even though this information may not be secret, it’s what we call “critical information.” Critical information
must be protected to ensure an adversary doesn’t gain a significant advantage. It deals with specific facts
about our intentions, capabilities, operations or activities. If an adversary knew this detailed information, our
mission accomplishment and personnel safety could be jeopardized. By being a military family member,
you may know some bits of information. Do not discuss them outside of your immediate family and
especially over the telephone.
35
OPSEC
Examples of Critical Information that needs to be protected:
-Detailed information about the mission of assigned units.
-Details concerning locations and times of unit deployments
-Personnel transactions that occur in large numbers i.e., Pay information, power of attorney, wills
-Deployment information
-References to trends in unit morale or personnel problems
-Details concerning security procedures
Puzzle Pieces
Small pieces of information like listed above may seem insignificant. However, to a trained adversary, they
are pieces of a puzzle that highlight what we’re doing. Remember, the element of surprise is Vital to the
accomplishment of our goals and personnel protection.
Where and how you discuss this information is just as important as with whom you discuss it.
An adversary’s agents tasked with collecting information frequently visit some of the same stores, clubs,
recreational areas or even churches as you do.
Determined individuals can easily collect data from cordless and cellular phones and even baby monitors
using inexpensive receivers available from local electronics stores.
If anyone, especially a foreign national approaches you and persistently seeks information, notify your
military sponsor immediately. He or she will notify the unit OPSEC program manager or The Air Force
Office of Special Investigations (OSI.)
Air Force Eagle Eyes Program
The Air Force Eagles Eyes Program is a neighborhood watch program aimed at keeping those who live
and work on military installations safe. Individuals may report suspicious activity to the Air Force Office of
Special Investigations, Security Forces, local and federal police. If reporting to Security Forces call 707424-3293. For more information on the Air Force Eagle Eyes Program call 707-424-3115.

Disaster Preparedness Checklist
In case of emergencies you and your family should be prepared . Here in California it is not
uncommon to experience earthquakes, fires, floods and black outs. The Bay Area Red Cross is
working with the Travis AFB TIDES agencies in making sure our families are informed and prepared
in case of a natural disaster occurs. For more information regarding disaster relief, contact the American Red
Cross.
1. Make a Plan. Planning ahead is the first step to a calmer and more assured disaster response.
2. Talk. Discuss with your family what disasters could possibly occur. Work as a team
Giving everyone a set of responsibilities.
3. Plan. Choose two places to meet after the disaster. One should be right outside your home
And the other outside your neighborhood in case you can not return to your home.
4. Learn. Each adult should know how to turn off the utilities I.e. electricity, water and gas. Learn to
Use a fire extinguisher.
5. Check Supplies. Review your disaster supplies. Make sure supplies are not out dated.
6. Tell. Make sure everyone knows who to contact in case of emergency. Designate a person
Outside of the area ( a different state) to be the central person everyone contacts if the family
Is separated.
7. Practice. These guidelines are only useful if you learn to use them. Practice with your
Family make sure everyone knows what to do, where to go and who to contact in an
Emergency situation.
8. Build a Kit. You will need to personalize your family kit based on your size and needs. Make
sure your kit is in a place that you will be able to get to. Also everyone in the family should know
where it is located. It is a good idea to check your kit every 6 months to make sure it is current.
A good time to remember to do this is when there are seasonal time changes.
9. Get Trained. It is a good idea for you and your family members to get trained in both CPR and
First Aid.
10. Volunteer. Contact your local American Red Cross and ask how you can help.
11. Give Blood.
