Recently, there was a big mistake made by the US military. They accidentally shared some of their secret plans with a reporter. This kind of mistake is a huge problem because it means that other countries or bad guys could find out what the US military is planning to do, which could put many people in danger.
The experts are saying that this mistake shows the US military isn’t keeping its secrets safe. This is called an “operational security failure.” Operational security – or OpSec for short – is like keeping a diary with a lock on it. You wouldn’t want just anyone to read your thoughts and secrets, right? Well, the military has to keep their plans locked up even tighter so no one else can see them.
Imagine if you were playing a game of hide and seek and you told someone where you were hiding – that would make it super easy for them to find you. It’s kind of the same with the military. They need to protect their plans so the “seekers” – in this case, enemies – won’t have an easy time figuring things out.
