Which of the following OPSEC steps would program managers and coordinators recommend actions to senior decision-makers and commanders?
- A.
  
  Risk Assessment
- B.
  
  Threat assessment
- C.
  
  Apply OPSEC measures
- D.
  
  Vulnerability analysis
Correct Answer
A. Risk Assessment

Explanation
Program managers and coordinators would recommend actions to senior decision-makers and commanders based on the results of a risk assessment. A risk assessment helps identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to a program or operation. By conducting a thorough risk assessment, program managers can provide senior decision-makers and commanders with valuable information on the level of risk associated with the program and recommend appropriate actions to mitigate those risks. This allows senior leaders to make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively to protect the program from potential threats.

Rate this question:

  Risk assessment
- B.
  
  Threat assessment
- C.
  
  Apply OPSEC measures
- D.
  
  Vulnerability analysis
Correct Answer
C. Apply OPSEC measures

Explanation
In dynamic situations, the threat landscape and vulnerabilities may change rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly reassess and reevaluate the effectiveness of the implemented OPSEC measures. This ensures that the preventive actions taken are still appropriate and adequate to address the evolving risks and threats. By continuously applying OPSEC measures, organizations can adapt and respond effectively to changing circumstances, maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information and operations.

Rate this question:
6.

Correct Answer
B. Critical information.

Explanation
The given question is asking for the term that describes specific facts about friendly activities, intentions, capabilities, or limitations that are crucial for adversaries to know in order to plan and act effectively to guarantee failure or unacceptable consequences for friendly mission accomplishment. The term that best fits this description is "critical information." This term refers to the sensitive and essential information that, if obtained by adversaries, could significantly compromise the success and safety of friendly operations.

Rate this question:

- D.
  
  Logistic and maintenance support.
Correct Answer
A. Operational.

Explanation
Abrupt changes or cancellations of schedules would fall under the Operational OPSEC indicator. This is because operational security (OPSEC) focuses on protecting information related to military operations, including schedules and plans. Any sudden changes or cancellations in schedules could potentially reveal sensitive information about military operations, making it crucial to protect and control this information to maintain operational security.

Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Logistic and maintenance support

Explanation
Deviating from normal procedures in terms of logistic and maintenance support would be considered an OPSEC indicator. This means that any abnormal or unusual actions taken in the logistical and maintenance processes could potentially reveal sensitive information or vulnerabilities to adversaries. By adhering to normal procedures, organizations can maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their operations and resources.

Rate this question:
9.

Data aggregation is defined as the
- A.

- D.
  
  Information that clearly reveals the enemy's operational procedures
Correct Answer
C. Collection of loosely associated data and/or information.

Explanation
The correct answer is "collection of loosely associated data and/or information." This answer accurately describes data aggregation as the process of gathering and organizing various types of data and information that may not have a direct relationship or connection. It implies that the collected data may be loosely associated or have varying degrees of relevance, but it is still valuable for analysis and decision-making purposes.

Rate this question:
10.

What are among the most problematic OPSEC vunerabilities in the Air Force today?
- A.

Correct Answer
B. TelepHones and cell pHones

Explanation
Telephones and cell phones are among the most problematic OPSEC vulnerabilities in the Air Force today because they are easily accessible and can be used for unauthorized communication or information leakage. These devices can be easily intercepted, hacked, or compromised, leading to potential breaches in security. Additionally, the use of personal cell phones or unsecured communication channels can also pose a threat to OPSEC as they may not have the necessary encryption or security measures in place. Therefore, it is crucial for the Air Force to address these vulnerabilities and implement strict protocols to ensure the protection of sensitive information.
