The document discusses measures that Department of Defense personnel can take to reduce the risk of being targeted by terrorists. It recommends varying daily routines like routes taken, times for activities, and entrances and exits used for buildings. Personnel should also avoid wearing military uniforms or disclosing personal information in public whenever possible to maintain a low profile. The goal is to be less predictable and more difficult to recognize as military targets.
