the sea a s a hiding place

A

- hiding place for smuggling operations, submarines firing missiles, and conducting naval movement and maneivuer
- can be difficult to identify specific vessels as targets with sufficient certainity to engage them especially if they are not radiating distinctive electromagnetic and acoustic signatures
- weather, sea spray, wave height can impact visibility/radar/sensor effectivness of platforms/munitions

Q

classified information that the PAO should not sharee

A

(1) For US (or allied) units, specific numerical information on troop strength,
aircraft, weapons systems, on-hand equipment, or supplies available for support of combat
units. General terms should be used to describe units, equipment, and/or supplies.
(2) Any information that reveals details of future plans, operations, or strikes,
including postponed or canceled operations.
(3) Information and VI that would reveal the specific location of military forces or
show the level of security at military installations or encampments. For datelines, storieswill state that the report originates from general regions unless a specific country has
acknowledged its participation.
(4) Rules of engagement.
(5) Information on intelligence activities, including sources and methods, lists of
targets, and battle damage assessments.
(6) During an operation, specific information on friendly force troop movement or
size, tactical deployments, and dispositions that would jeopardize OPSEC or lives. This
would include unit designations and names of operations until released by the JFC.
(7) Identification of mission aircraft points of origin, other than as land- or carrierbased.
(8) Information on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of weapon systems and
tactics (to include, but not limited to adversary camouflage, cover, deception, targeting,
direct and indirect fire, intelligence collection, or security measures).
(9) Specific identifying information on missing or downed personnel, aircraft, or
sunken ships while search and rescue operations are planned or under way.
(10) Special operations forces’ tactics, techniques, and procedures, and equipment,
which, if disclosed, could cause serious harm to the ability of these forces to accomplish
their mission.
(11) Information on operational or support vulnerabilities that could be used
against US or allied units until that information no longer provides tactical advantage to the
adversary and is, therefore, released by the JFC. Damage and casualties may be described as
“light,” “moderate,” or “heavy.”
(12) Specific operating methods and tactics (e.g., offensive and defensive tactics or
speed and formations). General terms such as “slow” or “fast” may be used.
(13) Detainees will be protected from public curiosity at all times. Strict
compliance with this requirement is essential. There is no distinction between international
and domestic media with regard to this obligation. Media attention concerning detainees is
likely to be substantial. Commanders and staffs should anticipate such attention and ensure
that supporting PA personnel develop procedures, in advance, for dealing with media
requests for visits and information. Unless delegated to subordinate commanders, the Office
of the Secretary of Defense is the sole release authority for photographs or video of
detainees. Commanders will prepare and coordinate, in advance, PA plans for events such as
detainee movements, transfers, or releases, with both the transferring and receiving
commanders.
(a) Requests for interviews or filming of detainees must be coordinated
through the staff judge advocate to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
including the law of war.
Guidelines for Release of Information
C-5
(b) Photographing, filming, or other videotaping of detainees for other than
internal detention facility management and intelligence purposes is prohibited.
(c) Individuals in the custody or under the physical control of the USG,
regardless of nationality or physical location, shall not be subjected to cruel, inhumane, or
degrading treatment or punishment.

216
Q

benefits of using social media

A

efficient, immediate acess, no gatekeeper, provides actionable feedback, promotes trust

217
Q

if DOD doesn’t use social media

A

To effectively reach stakeholders, DOD must use the communication channels those
stakeholders use. Social media and other technologies present unequaled opportunities for
DOD to share its story in an authentic, transparent, and rapid manner while building richer,
more substantive relationships with audiences not reachable through traditional
communication channels.
d. The use of social media also presents challenges to the joint force. However, if DOD
does not participate in social media, conversations about the joint force will still take place,
only without the joint force perspective.

218
Q

planning consideration for social media presence/establising platform

A
  1. Social Media Planning
    Like any overall CCS, consider many of the same things:
    a. Goal
    (1) What is the “big picture” reason for using social media?
    (2) Goals should reflect the command’s communication goals and tie into a broader
    communication synchronization.
    b. Objectives
    (1) Set realistic and measurable objectives to track progress.
    (2) Plan for the near, medium and long term.
    (3) Consider quality and sentiment, not just headcounts of fans.
    c. Identify Publics
    (1) Identify and prioritize publics to communicate with.
    (2) Be specific (command members, local residents, families, etc.).
    d. Content
    (1) Determine the story to tell and how, which should align with command’s goals.
    (2) Draft posting guidelines and/or comment policy to set expectations and
    determine after action when a violation of policy occurs.
    (3) Find topics that interest your publics and achieve your communication goals.
    (4) Create a content calendar, providing a quick tool to plan posts.
    (5) Be flexible and allow publics to shape conversations too.
    (6) Listen to publics and enable a real dialogue.
    (7) Go beyond repopulating content prepared for traditional channels.
    (8) Post content that gets publics to communicate with the command and each
    other.
    (9) Plan to coordinate content across online presences.
    e. Standard Operating Procedures
    Appendix F
    F-8 JP 3-61
    (1) Develop a standard operating procedure to manage workflow, assign tasks and
    allow for seamless personnel transitions.
    (2) Determine the most appropriate team to manage account(s).
    (3) Determine the right roles and level of access for each manager on each tool;
    involve senior leadership as much as possible.
    (4) Plan to coordinate across relevant entities (e.g., Services and USG departments
    and agencies).
    (5) Have a back-up plan for emergencies.
