Introduction. OPSEC awareness and execution is crucial to Army success and is applicable to TACOM personnel, missions and supporting activities daily, from routine duties to planning, testing, exercise and evaluation phases through force deployment, recovery, and reconstitution. While traditional security programs are designed to deny adversaries access to classified information, an OPSEC Plan provides guidance on how to deny adversaries access to critical information and indicators of sensitive information.
