   High value target list  Develop control measures
  and tasks to subordinate
   IO mission statement  Identify and prioritize IRC units
   Initial scheme of IO for tasks  IO COA worksheets

   Identify additional EEFIs
   Input to risk
   Identify and assess management plan,
  OPSEC indicators to including residual risk
  determine vulnerabilities associated with each
  OPSEC vulnerability
   Develop OPSEC
  measures to shield  Success criteria to
  vulnerabilities support assessment
