Counterintelligence (CI) is that aspect of intelligence, which in peace or war is
concerned with the detection, prevention, and neutralization of espionage, sabotage,
subversion, and other foreign intelligence activities.

B.TWO MEASURES TO EFFECT COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

1. Passive CI Measures

Passive CI measures are those measures, which seek to conceal information from
the target. Examples of these are secrecy discipline, signal communication security,
and camouflage and concealment.

Passive CI measures can be readily put into SOP for implementation regardless of the
specific nature of that office mission.

2. Active CI Measures

Active CI Measures are those measures, which seek to actively block the target’s
attempt to gain information, or to actively block the target’s effort to engage in
espionage, sabotage, or subversion.

C. COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AGENCIES:

1. All Units as CI Agencies

All units take CI measures to deny the target information about their own forces, their
activities, location and disposition.

2. Censorship Units

Censorship units have specialized counterintelligence functions due to their assigned


mission
D. IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

Effective CI increases the security of the command and aids in achieving surprise.
By denying information to the target, the risks of a office are reduced by decreasing the
target’s ability to collect information about our own troops or forces.

II. DIRECTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

In all facets of command, the Head of Office is responsible for the planning and
execution of all CI designed and implemented to safeguard information, personnel,
equipment and installation within his command. The Head of Office delegates these
responsibilities to his staff.

CATEGORIES OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS

1. Secrecy Discipline

Secrecy discipline is a continuous indoctrination of all personnel concerning loose


talk, dissemination on classification of classified information, etc.

2. Special Safeguarding of classified information and equipment

This aspect deals with the enforcement of security provisions by placing the
necessary safeguards at and within the areas containing classified information and
equipment; pass system for entrances to critical areas; security surveys and
inspections, and others.

CIVIL SECURITY

Civil Security encompasses active and passive CI measures affecting the non-
military nationals permanently or temporarily residing in an area under military
jurisdiction.

1. Systematic registration of civilians, neutrals, and enemy aliens.

This is accomplished by civil affairs such as the issuance of ration cards, work
permits, travel pass and frontier pass.

2. Control of Circulation - Civilian must be kept off the forward combat areas and the
main supply route to prevent enemy agents from infiltrating military area.
3. Curfew - Curfew is designed to keep the civilian populace off the streets after a
prescribed period.

4. Surveillance of Suspected Political Groups. This is accomplished to determine


whether or not these political groups are in any way in sympathy with the enemy cause.

5. Issuance of Passes and Permits - Passes and permits must be rigidly controlled
and frequently changed to prevent counterfeiting.
6. Security Screening of Labor. All local labor to be used by the Armed forces must
be screened to prevent infiltration by enemy agents.

7. Control of Commerce. The control of internal commerce is necessary because


some trading firms are in fact espionage agencies using the firm as cover for their
operations.

C. PORT, FRONTIER, AND TRAVEL SECURITY

This is concerned with the application of both military and civil security measures for CI
control at points of entry and departure, international borders or boundaries.

1. Security Control Seaports

2. Security Control of Airports

3. Establishment of Frontier Crossing Points. Normal routes of travel


should be channeled toward strategically located crossing points controlled by military
personnel.

3. Security Control of Merchant Seamen and crew of Commercial


Aircraft.

This is important because such individuals by virtue of their occupation have frequent
and legal entry into and exit out of the country and is usually being used as cover to
carry out courier operations.

4. SECURITY SCREENING AND CONTROL OF FRONTALIZERS.


This requires the close monitoring of farmers living on the side of a border with their
frame located on the other side of the border.
D.CENSORSHIP

Censorship includes the control and examination of communication to prevent


information from being transmitted to the enemy. also includes the collection
and dissemination of information of intelligence value.

1. Civil Censorship - Civil Censorship is the examination and control of all


communication of the natives and the civilian population.

2. Press Censorship - Press censorship refers to the security review of news material
and other information.
