Question 1
According to DoDD 5205.02, what action should be taken regarding information gathering to
maintain Operations Security (OPSEC)?
A) Information gathering should be accelerated to gain an advantage.
B) Information gathering should be stopped to prevent compromising critical information.
C) Information gathering should only be performed by the S-2.
D) Information gathering is not addressed by OPSEC.
E) Information gathering should be focused on threat analysis only.
Correct Answer: B) stop information gathering per OPSEC
Rationale: DoDD 5205.02 is the Department of Defense directive concerning OPSEC. A key
principle of OPSEC is protecting critical information from adversaries. This often requires
personnel to stop or limit information gathering and sharing to prevent adversaries from
collecting and piecing together sensitive details about operations, capabilities, or intentions.
Question 2
What is the first step in the five-step Operations Security (OPSEC) process?
A) Analyze vulnerabilities.
B) Identify critical information.
C) Assess risk.
D) Apply countermeasures.
E) Identify and analyze threats.
Correct Answer: B) Identify critical information.
Rationale: The OPSEC process must begin with identifying what information is critical to
the success of a mission and must be protected. Without knowing what information an
adversary wants, it is impossible to effectively analyze threats, vulnerabilities, or apply the
correct protective countermeasures.
Question 3
In a military staff section, what is the role of the S-2?
A) Personnel Officer
,B) Operations Officer
C) Logistics Officer
D) Intelligence Officer
E) Communications Officer
Correct Answer: D) Intelligence Officer
Rationale: The S-2 is the staff officer responsible for all matters concerning military
intelligence and counterintelligence. Their role involves analyzing the enemy, weather, and
terrain (METT-TC) to provide the commander with timely and accurate intelligence to
support decision-making.
Question 4
What does the acronym FPCON stand for?
A) Force Preparedness Condition
B) Field Protection Configuration
C) Force Protection Condition
D) Federal Protective Command
E) Forward Posture Contingency
Correct Answer: C) Force Protection Condition
Rationale: FPCON is a standardized system used by the Department of Defense to
communicate the level of security measures required in response to various levels of
terrorist threat against U.S. personnel and facilities.
Question 5
Which Force Protection Condition (FPCON) applies when a general global threat of possible
terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine security posture?
A) FPCON Alpha
B) FPCON Bravo
C) FPCON Charlie
D) FPCON Delta
E) FPCON Normal
Correct Answer: E) FPCON Normal
Rationale: FPCON Normal is the baseline security level. It indicates that a potential threat
,from terrorism is always present on a global scale, but there is no specific, credible
information indicating a threat to a particular location, requiring only a routine level of
vigilance.
Question 6
Which FPCON level is implemented when there is an increased general threat of possible
terrorist activity, but the nature and extent of the threat are unpredictable?
A) FPCON Normal
B) FPCON Alpha
C) FPCON Bravo
D) FPCON Charlie
E) FPCON Delta
Correct Answer: B) FPCON Alpha
Rationale: FPCON Alpha represents a step up from Normal. It indicates an increased
general threat, prompting personnel to be more vigilant and security measures to be
increased slightly. The key element is that the specifics of the threat are unknown or
unpredictable.
Question 7
Which Force Protection Condition (FPCON) applies when an increased or more predictable
threat of terrorist activity exists?
A) FPCON Normal
B) FPCON Alpha
C) FPCON Bravo
D) FPCON Charlie
E) FPCON Delta
Correct Answer: C) FPCON Bravo
Rationale: FPCON Bravo indicates that intelligence suggests a more predictable threat than
FPCON Alpha. This level requires more robust security measures and may affect the
movement of personnel and the operation of the installation to a greater degree.
Question 8
FPCON Charlie is implemented under which of the following circumstances?
, A) A general global threat exists.
B) A terrorist attack has just occurred in the immediate area.
C) An incident has occurred or intelligence indicates a specific terrorist action is likely.
D) There is an increased but unpredictable threat.
E) There are no known terrorist threats.
Correct Answer: C) An incident has occurred or intelligence indicates a specific terrorist
action is likely.
Rationale: FPCON Charlie represents a substantial threat level. It is declared when
intelligence is received that a terrorist attack is likely or when a terrorist incident has
already occurred in the region, prompting the implementation of significant security and
anti-terrorism measures.
Question 9
Which FPCON level indicates that a terrorist attack is imminent or has already occurred in the
immediate area?
A) FPCON Normal
B) FPCON Alpha
C) FPCON Bravo
D) FPCON Charlie
E) FPCON Delta
Correct Answer: E) FPCON Delta
Rationale: FPCON Delta is the highest and most restrictive level of security. It is
implemented only in the localized area where a threat is imminent or an attack has just
happened. This level typically results in a lockdown of the installation and a cessation of
non-essential activities.
Question 10
Which of the following is NOT one of the four DoD Threat Levels?
A) Low
B) Moderate
C) Significant
D) High
