Unit members should contact their designated OPSEC officer or OPSEC program manager/coordinator within the unit when reporting OPSEC concerns. If the OPSEC officer is unavailable, the concern should be reported up the chain of command, starting with the immediate supervisor or commander. In some cases, for higher-level security issues, the concern can be escalated to the unit security manager or base/unit commander. It is important to follow the established chain of command and use authorized communication channels to ensure the concern is handled properly and confidentiality is maintained. This process helps protect sensitive information and supports the integrity of the mission.
