The Marines are with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 312, Marine Aircraft Group 31. OPSEC in an Movable missions: MALS-31 uncertain world Marines work how they operate Story by Lance Cpl. Samantha K. Torres Staff Writer The threat is always there. It’s on television, social me- dia, and newspapers, but as military personnel, it is cru- cial to the mission to know and understand operational security and situational awareness. Marine Corps Order 3070.2A provides detailed infor- mation on how to integrate OPSEC into daily activi- ties, and promotes an overall understanding of OPSEC among all personnel. Operational security keeps potential adversaries from discovering critical and tactical information. “It protects our planned operations as well as those in the process, and the ones we have completed,” said Mas- ter Sgt. Latecia Gibbons, the Air Station operation chief. “It’s the process of protecting little pieces of data that could be grouped together to give a bigger picture to our adversaries.” Being vigilant about what’s happening in the sur- rounding area is known as situational awareness, and works hand-in-hand with OPSEC. It is important to be familiar with both because they protect military personnel and their families. Poor OP- SEC practices can be costly and can result in the loss of human life and critical infrastructure. The Tri-Command and Beaufort area routinely have SEE OPSEC, PAGE 4 Marines operate inside one of the many mobile facilities of Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31, June 30.

The squadron achieved an “on track” rating from the team of experts who examined and graded more than 40 programs within VMFA (AW) 224 and trained Marines on areas needing improvement. Approved by: April 2015 – Research Team Leader Marine Corps Manpower Team Resource Analysis Division Copyright © 2015 CNA Abstract This report is in support of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, which is charged with implementing the Marine Corps Force Integration Plan to integrate ground combat occupations and units. We examine female representation and performance in aviation (60XX–75XX) and logistics (04XX) primary military occupational specialties (PMOSs) since FY 1987. Female representation, as a percentage, has increased in these occfields over the past three decades, but women tend to leave the Marine Corps at higher rates than men. We also find, however, that female officers are selected for promotion at the same rates as male officers and that enlisted women are promoted faster than enlisted men.

Over time however, in- stallations drew people and businesses closer and closer to take advantage of civilian job oppor- tunities offered by the installation and to provide the goods and services to support the installa- tion’s operations.
