infonr.ation flowed down from the Joint Staff to the Joint Crisis Action Team {JCAT) Liaison Officer (LNO). The deployment information was typically received in training briefing siides~ which approximately 50 individuals had access to. (3)

(U) d. lC//NF) On 12 October 2001, Colonel,

Office of the Chief of Public Affairs (QG.PA), Pentagon was interviewed regarding His knowledge of the 3 Octot;ler 2001 article in the Washington Post. stated the guidance the Public Affairs Officers received specifically prohibited the discussion of troop deployment information; I b6 also stated that all Public Affairs Officers were sensitive to Operations Security issues and trained in handling media tricks used to gather news information. Also, ~-~~ stated that the Public Affairs Officers did not have acces·s to troop deployment information and therefore could not have leaked the information to the publ·ic. ( 4)

2. (U) Sources did provide the following suggestions to improve OPSEC: Personnel need to be aware of their surroundings, some people forget how open the Pentagon can be; more SIPRNET would be useful because too much information goes through the unclassified email system; there should be more COMSEC monitoring to ensure people are only discussing the appropri~te things on the phone; people need to adjust to a war time mentality and keep things close hold--just don't discuss it at all; even an innocent comment can be compiled into classified information and OPSEC is best learned from leaders not bland, untimely briefings so they need to set a good ·example .
