What are the major objectives of the OPSEC program?

The major objectives of the OPSEC (Operational Security) program are focused on identifying and protecting critical operations to ensure that sensitive information is not disclosed to adversaries. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and success of operations, as the unauthorized disclosure of information regarding plans, capabilities, and intentions can lead to compromising the security of missions.

By identifying what information is critical to an operation, the OPSEC program helps in establishing measures to protect that information. This includes analyzing threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and implementing countermeasures to shield sensitive data from potential adversaries. The goal is to create a proactive stance on security rather than just reacting to potential breaches.

While documenting deficiencies, identifying operations, or developing training procedures may be components of broader security efforts, they do not encapsulate the primary objective of OPSEC, which is about proactive identification and protection of critical operations that could impact the success of military and defense activities.
