100 Series Study List 111-115 Flashcards
111- Define OPSEC
OPSEC: is a systematic, proven process that identifies, controls, and protects generally sensitive but unclassified information about a mission, operation, or activity.
111- Discuss the OPSEC five step planning process
IDENTIFY CRITICAL INFORMATION; ANALYZE THREAT ASSESSMENT; ANALYZE VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS; ASSES RISK ASSESSMENT; APPLY OUNTER MEASURES
111- Discuss the responsibilities of the command OPSEC Officer
The OPSEC Officer is responsible for all aspects of administering the OPSEC Program at the command
111- Describe the OPSEC considerations regarding public affairs
To the maximum extent possible, the PAO and OPSEC officer should coordinate the release of data relative to the mission or to impending potentially sensitive activity.
111- Define WRA
Web Risk Assessment - Scan a website a determine if there are any OPSEC related vulnerabilities. — Risk assessment and risk management become critical factors in evaluating publicly accessible Web site information. Anything posted to the WWW is available to any adversary.
111- Define EEFI
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF FRIENDLY INFORMATION: Planners need to establish EEFI key information adversaries likely will inquire about regarding our intentions, capabilities, and activities, in order to obtain answers critical to their own operational effectiveness.
111- Define Critical Information
CI is defined as information about friendly (U.S., allied and/or coalition) activities, intentions, capabilities, or limitations an adversary seeks in order to gain a military, political, diplomatic, economic, or technological advantage.
112- What are the 5 key purposes of Naval Intelligence
Supporting the Commander; Identifying Centers of Gravity and Critical Vulnerabilities; Supporting Planning and Execution of Operations; Protecting the Force; Supporting Combat Assessment
112- Explain Supporting the Commander in reference to Naval Intelligence.
Allows the commander to fight smarter by supporting his selection of the best courses of action.
112- Explain Identifying Centers of Gravity and Critical Vulnerabilities in reference to Naval Intelligence.
Provide an accurate picture of the battle space from which we can identify clear and attainable objectives.
112- Explain Supporting Planning and Execution of Operations in reference to Naval Intelligence.
During planning, collection resources are identified and tasked to meet intelligence requirements in support of the operation.
112- Explain Protecting the Force in reference to Naval Intelligence.
Provides early warning of impending hostile action, and reduces risk by detecting adversary actions that have an impact on friendly planning assumptions.
112- Explain Supporting Combat Assessment in reference to Naval Intelligence.
Combat assessment is the procedure by which the commander weighs the effectiveness of military operations by considering battle damage assessment munitions effectiveness, and re-attack recommendations.
112- Define the five steps of Intelligence.
STEP 1: Planning and Direction: Identification and need for intelligence by the commander’s PIRs (Priority Intelligence Requirements); STEP 2: Collection: Tasking appropriate collection assets and/or resources to acquire the data and information required to satisfy collection objectives; STEP 3: Processing and Exploitation: Raw data is transformed into information, used by analysts to produce multidiscipline intelligence products; STEP 4: Analysis and Production: Integrating, evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting information from single or multiple sources into a finished intelligence product; STEP 5: Dissemination and Integration: Intelligence is integrated into the decision-making and planning processes; intelligence may be immediately communicated if situations warrant
112- What are the 5 Steps of intelligence
STEP 1: Planning and Direction; STEP 2: Collection; STEP 3: Processing and Exploitation; STEP 4: Analysis and Production; STEP 5: Dissemination and Integration
112- Describe Strategic Intelligence
National-level activities and assets, support the president and national-level political and military leadership; concerns plans and intentions of foreign entities, and serves as the basis for the national military strategy.
112- Describe Operational Intelligence
Intelligence required for planning and conducting campaigns and major operations to accomplish strategic objectives within theaters or operational areas.
112- Describe Tactical Intelligence
Such as the Office of Naval Intelligence or the other 16 agencies, are responsible for executive, strategic intelligence.
112- Define National Level Intelligence Organization
Such as the Office of Naval Intelligence or the other 16 agencies, are responsible for executive, strategic intelligence.
112- Define Theater Level Intelligence Organization
Such as PACOM JIOC (Joint Intelligence and Operations Center), handle operational intelligence to ensure security and execution of campaigns and major operations.
112- Define Fleet Level Intelligence Organization
Such as NAVCENT (US Navy CENTCOM), fulfill tactical intelligence requirements at the request of the COCOM
112- Def Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs):
Formalized intelligence requirements; critical pieces of intelligence the commander must know by a particular time to plan and execute a successful mission (this is the “wake-me-up if this happens” list) - PIRs are identified at every level and are based on guidance obtained from the mission statement, the commander’s intent, and the end-state objectives.
112- Define CCIR
Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIRs): A comprehensive list of information requirements identified by the commander as being critical in facilitating timely information management and the decision-making process that affect successful mission accomplishment.
112- Describe HUMINT
Human intelligence is derived from information collected and provided by human sources.
112- Describe OSINT
Open Source Intelligence is gathered when analyzing data available through public or unclassified channels (example: commercial imagery, press, budgets, or gray literature)
112- Describe MASINT
Measurement and Signature Intelligence is information produced by quantitative and qualitative analysis of physical attributes of targets and events to characterize, locate, and identify them; MASINT exploits a variety of phenomenology to support signature development and analysis, to perform technical analysis, and to detect, characterize, locate, and identify targets and events (examples: nuke test, earth samples, aircraft radar signature). Includes ACINT (Acoustic), as well as IRINT (Infrared), LASINT (Laser), NUCINT (Nuclear), ELECTRO-OPTINT (Electro-optical), and RINT (Unintentional Radiation).
112- Describe SIGINT
Signals Intelligence is made up of communications (COMINT), electronic (ELINT), and foreign instrumentation signals (FISINT) (example: intercepted phone conversation)
112- Describe IMINT
Imagery Intelligence is technical, geographic, and intelligence information derived through the interpretation or analysis of imagery and collateral materials (example: satellite photos of an impending exercise or missile launch).
112- Describe ACINT
Acoustic Intelligence is intelligence derived from the collection and processing of acoustic phenomena (example: a submarine located by its acoustic signature).
112- Describe ELINT
Electronic Intelligence is technical and geo location intelligence derived from foreign non-communications electromagnetic radiations emanating from other than nuclear detonations or radioactive sources (example: a ship activates its surface search radar).
113- Describe the communication capabilities of transmissions HF
Around since WWI. Successful transmission of HF signals over a long distance is dependent upon refraction of radio waves by layers of the ionosphere. 3MHz-30MHz
113- Describe the communication capabilities of transmissions VHF and above
Penetrate the atmosphere, so used for LOS & satellite communications. 30MHz-300MHz
