Daniel Schnieder 366th MPAD, USD-C BAGHDAD – While most people might think it is just trash going into a dumpster, Soldiers must remember operational security before throwing controlled items into the trash. Gen. George Casey, chief of staff of the Army, has decreed in Army Regulation 530-1 that OPSEC is everyone’s responsibility. Failure to properly implement OPSEC mea- sures can result in serious injury or death to our personnel, damage to weapons systems, equipment and facilities, loss of sensitive technolo- gies and mission failure. So, what are these OPSEC items, and how can you dispose of items when they are no longer needed? One example of the many items that should not be casually thrown into the trash includes military uni- forms, said Master Sgt. Mario Dova- lina, the OPSEC program manager assigned to Company A, Division Stirring the fire will help to ensure that documents are completely destroyed.

One last time At the birth of our nation, Soldiers in our Former Secretary of Defense visits LSA Anaconda Army spent a bitterly cold holiday season in the fields of Valley Forge. At that moment, our young nation’s prospects looked bleak. It would have been easy for the Soldiers of our young Army to fold up their tents and give up the dream of liberty. Those Soldiers did not quit—just as you will never quit. I truly believe today’s Soldiers, Sailors, Air- men, Marines and our civilian partners stand as sentinels, fighting to guarantee the same foundation of fundamental beliefs upon which our nation was built. Life, liberty, equality, the pursuit of happiness are not just notes in a his- tory book, they are the foundation of what we hold dear and what we fight to defend.
