It addresses threats to DAF food and water supplies, including terrorist, hate group, cult, and cyberattack threats. It requires responsible installation organizations and personnel to identify and limit hazards and restrict access to food and water assets.
Applies to: This publication applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force (RegAF), the Air Force Reserve (AFR), the Air National Guard (ANG), the United States Space Force (USSF), and those with a contractual obligation to abide by the terms of Department of the Air Force (DAF) publications.
Multiple threats (e.g., international terrorist groups, hate groups, cults, etc.) can attack DAF food and water supplies with low cost and easily acquired materials.
Similarly, cyberattacks on food and water assets can have damaging consequences as infrastructure grows increasingly reliant on interconnected technologies and automated processes.
Vulnerability assessments represent an integral part of the larger Mission Assurance Assessment Program, and while complete security is rarely achieved, nor feasible, sound risk management principles can greatly reduce risk to DAF food and water assets.
