TARGET ACQUISTION AND ANALYSIS Targets are selected according to six factors known as CARVER. C-Criticality-How important is the target to the enemy? A-Accessibility-How easy is it to get to? R-Recognizability-How easy is the target to recognize? V-Vulnerability-How vulnerable is the target E-Effects-What effect will the attack have on enemy operations? R-Recuperability-How easy will it be for the enemy to repair/replace the target? Principles of Security: 1. Dispersion--Avoid large concentrations of forces. 2. Mobility--Be prepared to move at all times. Equipment should be prepared in one man loads. Equipment which cant be carried must be cached. The area around the patrol base must be policed often. 3. Use Cover and Deception to confuse the enemy about: * Your location * Your troop strength, status, and equipment. * Your intentions * The time and place of planned operations. * What you know about him * How successful his operations have been. * How good his intelligence is. 4.. Deny the enemy discernable patterns and signatures that tell him what you will do. 5. Safeguard all plans and records. Keep records to an absolute minimum, release information on a need to know basis, restrict the amount of information given to individuals who are exposed to capture, destroy outdated records, encode and encrypt all messages. 6. Other security measures: * Make sure all personnel and equipment are well camoflauged. * Keep units isolated from each other. * Keep campsites clean * Know where your people are going and how they will get there. * Train in resistance to interrogation.
