Synopsis as published on the index

Navy tactics, techniques, and procedures (NTTP) 3-13.3M/Marine Corps tactical publication (MCTP) 3-32B provides commanders with an OPSEC overview, OPSEC evolution, and guidance for some of the most crucial aspects of OPSEC: that of identifying critical information, and recognizing the collection methods from potential adversaries. This document also explains the Department of Defense (DOD) OPSEC five-step process, the baseline of every OPSEC program. NTTP 3-13.3M/MCTP 3-32B addresses the areas of OPSEC and force protection; public affairs officer (PAO) interaction; the role of the U.S. intelligence community in coordination with OPSEC; the OPSEC, ombudsman, or family readiness officer (FRO) relationship; and the conducting of OPSEC assessments. This publication includes separate chapters and appendixes on Web risk assessment (WRA), OPSEC in contracts, OPSEC during fleet workups, and guidance to implement effective programs at the individual unit, strike group, and shore establishment levels.
