    • Operational Security

    • Expensive

    • Timeliness

    • Can’t do long-use products

    Correct Answer
    A. Operational Security
    Explanation

This means that relying on assets that are not organic to the organization or country can pose a risk to the security of operations. This can include issues such as lack of control over the assets, potential for information leaks or breaches, and difficulty in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information or resources. Therefore, operational security can be compromised when using local national assets.

    The PSYOP planning process consists of two segments.  The first segment begins:

    • Upon approval of the PSYOP program

    • After link-up with the supported unit

    • Upon receipt of the POTF OPORD

By analyzing these motivations and consequences, one can gain insights into why the TA behaves the way they do and what factors influence their actions. This understanding is crucial in developing strategies to bring about the desired behavioral change in the TA. The other options mentioned, such as the degree of authority and cost benefit analysis, are not directly related to Cause and Effect Analysis.

These indicators help evaluate the impact of these units' actions and strategies, providing valuable insights for future decision-making and planning. Therefore, both PSYOP units and ISR assets are responsible for gathering and analyzing impact indicators to assess the outcomes of their operations.
