Operations Security (OPSEC), Decision-Making and Operational Effectiveness in a Multinational Environment

Abstract

Operations security (OPSEC) implementation and decision-making are among the multitude of problems operational commanders must address in a multinational environment. This paper uses a Kosovo case study with interviews to demonstrate specific OPSEC challenges facing operational commanders. Particular attention is given to some important principles of decision-making while considering counter-arguments and limitations. Recommendations to deal with the OPSEC challenges center around the need for centralized management, specialized training and courses of action.
