SURVEILLANCE COUNTER MEASURES (CLINE)

Question 1

Surveillance Countermeasures

Answer 1

actions taken by an individual or security detail to identify the presence of surveillance, and if necessary, to elude or evade the individual or group conducting surveillance

Question 2

Two types of surveillance countermeasures

Answer 2

Surveillance detection and

Anti-Surveillance

Question 3

You must have a _____ to conduct surveillance.

Answer 3

plan

Question 4

2 types of Surveillance Detection

Answer 4

Passive Surveillance Detection, Active Surveillance Detection

Question 5

Passive Surveillance Detection

Answer 5

consist of target observing the surroundings to identify indications or instances of surveillance without taking any active measures. Executed in a manner that does not provided the surveillance effort with any indication that the target is being observed for a surveillance presence.

Question 6

Active Surveillance Detection

Answer 6

involves specific, usually pre-planned maneuvers to elicit a conspicuous and detectable reaction from a surveillance effort, if one is present. - Counter Surveillance

Question 7

Anti-surveillance

Answer 7

are actions taken to elude or evade an identified, suspected, or possible hostile surveillance effort.
- Elude, evade, or neutralize (GRD does not neutralize)

Question 8

Surveillance Detection Route (SDR)

Answer 8

is an advanced method of surveillance detection that is performed to induce a surveillance effort into mirroring the target’s broad movement in a manner that facilitates the isolation of and multiple sights of surveillance assets.

The ultimate objective of an SDR is to execute sequential detection maneuvers that will initially identify potential surveillance assets and subsequently.

Question 9

Surveillance professionals _______ psychological factors such as perceptions and biases and play on these factors as a form of applied science.

Answer 9

understand

Question 10

_________________ depends on the target’s ability to observe his or her surroundings.

Answer 10

Surveillance Detection

Question 11

Isolate surveillance assets for _________,

__________, and ___________

Answer 11

Observation, Retention, and Recognition.

Question 12

Passive Surveillance Detection

Answer 12

consist of target observing the surroundings to identify indications or instances of surveillance without taking any active measures. Executed in a manner that does not provided the surveillance effort with any indication that the target is being observed for a surveillance presence.

Question 13

Countersurveillance

Answer 13

consist of action is taken by a third party (other than the target or the targets detail) to detect the presence of surveillance on the target.

• Most sophisticated and effective method of surveillance detection.
• Allows the target to travel in a more natural manner.

Question 14

Surveillance Vulnerabilities

Answer 14

Transitions stages,

Restrictive Terrain

Question 15

Transitions stages

Answer 15

present challenges to the surveillance effort from the standpoint of maintaining contact with the target while avoiding detection.

Question 16

Restrictive Terrain

Answer 16

Traffic Hazards/Options, Choke points, Canalized Terrain, Intrusion points, Open terrain, Restrictive terrain (foot surveillance)

Question 17

The more ______ the surveillance detection or anti-surveillance maneuver, the more effective it will be in achieving the desired result.

Answer 17

active

Question 18

Covert surveillance counter measures are

Answer 18

executed discretely and are intended to detect or elude a surveillance effort without being recognized as active

Question 19

Overt surveillance

Answer 19

countermeasures are intended to detect or elude with no regard whether the surveillance efforts detect them as such.

Question 20

Key Guiding Concepts (counter Surveillance)

Answer 20

Be Inconspicuous
Target Pattern
Have plan.
Chaos theory

Question 21

Isolation

Answer 21

is the incremental process that is characterized as a methodical effort to distinguish potential surveillance assets from the surrounding environments for the observation and subsequent exploitation as appropriate.

Question 22

Purpose of Isolation

Answer 22

• To identify potential surveillance assets
• Employ as an element of surveillance detection procedure to detect or confirm surveillance preces
• Employed as an element of anti-surveillance procedures to evade or elude a surveillance presence.

Question 23

Isolation Techniques

Answer 23

• Mirroring
• Transition Stages
• Restrictive Terrain

Question 24

Break in Contact

Answer 24

allows surveillance assets to reestablish contact in a manner that isolates them for detection.

Question 25

The most effective form of SDR

Answer 25

is one that incorporates a theme to make an otherwise illogical route of travel appear logical.

Question 26

Surveillance Detection Points (SDPs)

Answer 26

are the theme stop locations where the target will observe for potential surveillance assets.

Question 27

Analyze SDR with what 3 factors

Answer 27

Time, Distance, Location
