Methods and means to gain and maintain essential secrecy about critical information. The following categories apply. a. action control - The objective is to eliminate indicators or the vulnerability of actions to exploitation by adversary intelligence systems.

Use diversions, camouflage, concealment, jamming, threats, police powers, and force against adversary information gathering and processing capabilities. c. counteranalysis - The objective is to prevent accurate interpretations of indicators during adversary analysis of collected materials.
