The 81st Training Wing's operations security shredding policy aims to ensure all Keesler organizations are taking measures to protect unclassified information, especially information on critical information lists, "for official use only" documents and privacy act materials.

When no longer needed for government business or required as material for official records or files, all official and unofficial paper products will be destroyed via shredding and placed in recycling bins in each work center.

The goal of OPSEC is to prevent an intentional or unwanted disclosure of critical or sensitive information. In order to practice proper OPSEC and to minimize the potential for personally identifiable information incidents, every Airman is responsible for ensuring information is protected.

This policy does not include items such as unclassified newspapers, magazines or other periodicals or boxes and packing materials that should be recycled using the proper mechanisms. Materials such as food wrappers and containers should be disposed of in proper waste or recycling collection containers.
