This notice establishes policy for the physical security and operations security programs for the Office of the Judge Advocate General (OJAG) / Naval Legal Service Command headquarters activities in the National Capital Region, encompassing its locations onboard the Washington Navy Yard and the Pentagon. It applies to all military, civilian and contractor personnel employed by, or assigned within, OJAG. These programs have been combined into one notice to properly align responsibilities, functional tasks and awareness to ensure cooperative achievement of programmatic goals.

a. The Physical Security Program is designed to create a secure environment, establish procedures to safeguard personnel, establish controls to prevent unauthorized access to OJAG/Naval Legal Service Command (NLSC) Headquarters facilities and offices, establish effective inventory and controls for equipment, and ensure the safeguarding of documents, electronic files, and information systems against theft, damage, and espionage, in accordance with the references and host installation directives.

b. The Operations Security (OPSEC) Program is designed to protect critical information to prevent an adversary from determining friendly intentions or capabilities. It endeavors to establish a proper balance between dissemination of information to families and the public, consistent with the requirement to protect critical information and maintain essential secrecy. The OPSEC Program ensures coordination between public affairs, cybersecurity, personnel security, physical security, operations, acquisition, intelligence, training, law enforcement, antiterrorism/force protection, and command authorities, and includes mechanisms for enforcement, accountability, threat awareness, and the highest level of leadership oversight. OJAG will incorporate the principles and practice of OPSEC focused on command involvement, planning, assessments, surveys, training, education, threat, resourcing, and awareness.
