  * Area security. Area security is a type of security operation conducted to protect friendly forces,
  installations, routes, and actions within a specific area (ADP 3-90). Area security may be the
  predominant method of protecting the support areas that are necessary to facilitate the positioning,
  employment, and protection of resources required to sustain, enable, and control forces. Area
  security often focuses on the following activities:
   Tactical AA security.
   Base/base camp defense.
   Critical asset security.
   Node protection.
   High-risk personnel security.
   Movement corridors.
   Response force operations.
   LOC security.
   Checkpoints and combat outposts.
   Convoy security.
   Port area and pier security.
   Area damage control.
  * Conduct cyberspace and security defense. The Army secures and defends the network through
  a defense-in-depth approach, incorporating layered security and defenses. The tasks to secure and
  defend cyberspace are perform cybersecurity activities and conduct defensive cyberspace
  operations–internal defensive measures. See FM 3-12 for more information for cyberspace
  planning considerations.
  * Conduct electromagnetic protection actions. Many Army capabilities, including
  communications, cyberspace operations, information collection, space capabilities, target
  detection, and precision guided munitions, depend on assured access to the electromagnetic
  spectrum. The tasks to protect Army access to the electromagnetic spectrum are conduct electronic
  protection actions, conduct defensive electronic attack, and conduct electromagnetic spectrum
  management.
  * Conduct OPSEC. Operations security is a capability that identifies and controls critical
  information, indicators of friendly force actions attendant to military operations, and incorporates
  countermeasures to reduce the risk of an adversary exploiting vulnerabilities (JP 3-13.3). Effective
  and disciplined OPSEC is employed during decisive action. Units routinely employ OPSEC
  measures to reduce, eliminate, and conceal essential elements of friendly information. Units use
  directional antennas and terrain masking to conceal tactical communication signatures and reduce
  detection by enemy direction-finding capabilities. This helps to prevent enemy or adversary
  reconnaissance and other information collection capabilities from gaining an advantage because
  the threat has knowledge of identifiable or observable unit-specific information. For additional
  information on OPSEC for division and below, see ATP 3-13.3.
  PROTECTION SUPPORT TO ARMY OPERATIONS
  A-8. Protection emphasizes the importance of planning and expanding protection priorities, to include
  protecting mission partners, civilian populations, equipment, resources, infrastructure, and cultural
  landmarks across the range of military operations. The synchronization, integration, and organization of
  protection capabilities and resources to preserve combat power from the effects of threats and hazards are
  essential. When properly integrated and synchronized, the tasks and systems that relate to protection
  effectively protect the force, preserve combat power, and increase the probability of mission success.
  A-9. Operations to shape include unit home station activities, including maintaining operational readiness,
  training, and contingency planning. Combined exercises and training, military exchange programs, and
  foreign military member attendance at Army schools are examples of home station shaping activities. At
  home stations, protection tasks maintain safe and secure environments that enable commanders to generate
