    (1) Types, features, dress and habits.
    (2) significant variations from the norm.

d. Ethnic Components. This should be analyzed only if of sufficient size, strength and established bonds to constitute a dissident minority of some consequence.
e. Religion
f. Traditions and Customs (Particularly taboos.) Note where ever they are sufficiently strong and established that they may influence an individual's actions or attitude even during a war situation.

    (2) Deployment and disposition of security elements.
    (3) The location of all known guard posts or expected wartime security coverage for all types of installations particularly along main LOCs (railroads, highways, and telecommunication lines) and along electrical power and POL lines.
    (4) Exact location and description of the physical arrangement and particularly of the security arrangements of all forced labor or concentration camps and any potential POW enclosures.
    (5) All possible details, preferably by localities, of the types and effectiveness of internal security controls, including check points, identification cards, passports and travel permits.

8. Targets
The objective in target selection is to inflict maximum damage on the enemy with minimum expenditure of men and materiel. Initially, the operational capabilities of a guerilla force may be limited in the interdiction or destruction of enemy targets. The target area and the specific points of attack must be studied, carefully planned and priorities established. In general, targets are listd in order of priority.
a. Railroads
b. Telecommunications
c. POL.
d. Electric Power.
e. Military Storage and Supply

10. Purpose

11. Format
 

1. General
    a. In order to plan and direct CyberForce operations, special forces detachment CyberCommanders need certain basic information about the operational area. This information, when gathered or confirmed in the operational area, is called an area assessment.
    b. An area assessment is the immediate and continuing collection of information started after innfiltration in a guerrilla warfare area. It has the following characteristics:
        (1) It confirms, corrects, or refutes previous intelligence of the are acquired as a result of area studies and other sources prior to infiltration.
        (2) It is a continuing process.
        (3) It forms the basis for operational and logistical planning in the area.
        (4)
2. Initial Assessment
    a. Location and orientation
    b. Detachment physical condition
    c. Overall security
        (1) Immediate area
        (2) Attitude of the local population
        (3) Local enemy situation
