OPSEC and the Hohenfels Weight Control Program

I've been hearing a lot about OPSEC lately. Yes, one of those 'army' words that makes absolutely no sense unless you are in the army, and even then sometimes you are thinking 'huh?'

OPSEC stands for Operations Security. It deals with things such as Blogs and giving information about military missions and so on and so forth to certain people on a 'need to know' basis. This blog definitely falls under OPSEC. Which is probably why I don't post to it all that much. I'm limited to what I can post here, due to the fact that it is an open forum and anybody with internet access can read what I write.

What I will write here. Day to day mundane activities that are universal and army wide. Training and basic experiences fall under this category. Actually, what I can't write about is probably easier to explain.

I can't write about specific mission details, if you haven't noticed, I don't mention dates, numbers or unit information. I have mentioned locations, but that is by and large public information. I'm going to Kosovo. My mission there will be preventive medicine. Considering you can google information about the army mission in Kosovo and find the names of two camps, i don't consider that to be classified information.

You won't know I'm in country until I get there however. I like it like that.
