“Red Team” Testing Security Awareness Published Jan. 26, 2010 By By Tech Sgt. James Allen 17th Security Forces Squadron GOODFELLOW AFB, Texas -- Probing of government facilities is on the rise. It is important for all members of the community to be security conscious and to practice good operations security (OPSEC). Our adversaries are looking to exploit vulnerabilities, direct and indirect, surrounding our operations. In an effort to maintain a heightened sense of security as well as test security, the 17th Security Forces Squadron has developed a Red Team program. The team's objective is to test the community awareness on security surrounding day-to-day operations. These tests will range from observing operations from off base, going into facilities to collect data, and even monitoring conversations at local off base establishments. If you observe any suspicious activity, on or off-base, such as someone eavesdropping, photographing, soliciting official information, etc, please contact Security Forces at 654-3504. Treat all suspicious activity as real. Remember, OPSEC and protection of the installation is everyone's duty.
