Name two protective measures under the Protection function.

• A. Physical security and camouflage
• B. Physical security and reconnaissance
• C. Camouflage and surveillance
• D. Reconnaissance and surveillance

Answer: (A)

Protection focuses on shielding people, equipment, and capabilities from harm or disruption. Two straightforward protective measures are physical security and camouflage. Physical security encompasses barriers, access control, guards, fences, lighting, alarms, and secure storage to prevent unauthorized entry or tampering, directly reducing vulnerability. Camouflage reduces the likelihood of being detected or targeted by blending with the environment and using concealment techniques. The other options mix protective actions with reconnaissance or surveillance—activities that are more about gathering information or monitoring than directly reducing exposure in the moment.
