What it does
As part of the Global Security Framework, the program establishes annual priorities for mission threat assessments, measures to keep mission personnel, information and assets secure, the provision of security and emergency management awareness training and exercises, mission physical security analysis, and the deployment of military security specialists and Readiness and Security Program Managers. This Program also supports on-site mission security inspections, vulnerability assessments, safety audits, and personnel security services.
