DCS Form 1 - Correct answer Defense Courier Service Receipt for Material
DCS Form 10 - Correct answer Defense Courier Service Authorization Record
OF 79 - Correct answer Request for Security Clearance
DSS form 147 - Correct answer Record of Controlled Area
Operations Security (OPSEC) - Correct answer A process of identifying critical
information and analyzing friendly actions attendant to military operations and other
activities including: identifying those actions that can be observed by adversary
intelligence systems; determining indicators that hostile intelligence systems might
obtain that could be interpreted or pieced together to derive critical intelligence in time
to be useful to adversaries; and selecting and executing countermeasures that
,eliminate or reduce to an acceptable level the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to
adversary exploitation.
Operations Security (OPSEC) Process - Correct answer A process that examines a
complete activity to determine what, if any, exploitable evidence of classified or
sensitive activity may be acquired by adversaries. It is an analytical, risk-based
process that incorporates five distinct elements: critical information identification,
threat analysis, vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and OPSEC countermeasures.
OPSEC Countermeasures - Correct answer Methods and means to gain and maintain
essential secrecy about critical information
Adversary - Correct answer An individual, group, organization, or government that
must be denied critical information
Critical Information - Correct answer Specific facts about friendly intentions,
capabilities, and activities vitally needed by adversaries for them to plan and act
,effectively to guarantee failure or unacceptable consequences for friendly mission
accomplishment
The five-step OPSEC process - Correct answer 1. Identify critical information 2.
Analyze threats 3.Analyze vulnerabilities 4. Assess risks 5.Apply OPSEC
countermeasures
Ways to protect critical information - Correct answer Disclose information about your
mission and organization judiciously and on a need-to-know basis. 1. Do not discuss
your work in public places or where others can overhear your conversation 2. Do not
discuss critical information on unencrypted telephones 3. Do not include critical
information in unencrypted e-mail messages 4. Do not reveal critical information,
indicators, or personal information on the Internet 5. Shred paper documents before
placing them in the trash 6. Refer all inquiries from the press to your organization's
public affairs office
OPSEC countermeasures - Correct answer 1. Minimize predictable patterns 2. Conceal
indicators that may point to critical information 3. Make indicators seem unimportant 4.
, May be as simple as choosing not to talk about something 5. Protect critical
information
Five categories of risk process assets - Correct answer 1. Assess assets (identify
value of asset and degree of impact if asset is damaged or lost) 2. Assess threats (type
and degree of threat) 3. Assess vulnerabilities (identification and extent of
vulnerabilities) 4. Assess risks (calculation of risks) 5. Determine countermeasures
(security countermeasure options that can reduce or mitigate risks cost effectively
Five categories of assets - Correct answer 1. People 2. Information 3. Equipment 4.
Facilities 5. Activities & Operations
Risk vulnerability ratings - Correct answer Critical - no effective countermeasure 75-
100; High - some countermeasures but multiple weaknesses 50-74; Medium -
countermeasures in place with one weakness 25-49; Low effective countermeasures
are in place 0-14
