OPSEC Training Requirements: See AFI 10-701, Chapter 5.
1. General. All Air Force personnel (military and civilian) and contractors who have access to mission critical information require a general knowledge of threats, vulnerabilities and their responsibilities associated with protecting critical information.
2. Contractors. When government-provided OPSEC training is required by a contract, OPSEC PMs and/or OPSEC coordinators will provide OPSEC training or training materials to contract employees within 90 days of employees’ initial assignment to the contract.
3. Tracking. Unit OPSEC coordinators will track initial and annual awareness training and report training initiatives in their annual OPSEC self-assessment reports to their respective HHQ OPSEC PM. Wing, MAJCOM, FOA, and DRU OPSEC PMs are responsible for the tracking of command/wing staff personnel training initiatives.
