These threat activities do not take place in a specific order. They are not necessarily interrelated. In
some cases, Level I and Level II activities may support a Level III activity. In general, the rear area

Level I Activities
Level I activities will be accomplished by:
o Enemy controlled agents.
o Terrorists.
o Sympathizers.
Enemy Controlled Agents. Agent networks in the target country support OPFOR unconventional
warfare operations. The current number of agents in NATO countries controlled directly or indirectly by
enemy intelligence and security organizations is well over 29,000. Their missions include espionage,
interdictions, and subversion.

intelligence directorate recruits agents in the area of military facilities and supporting civilian industries,
airfields, special weapons depots, and tank dispersal centers, also, key lines of communication, and
communication centers.

organized network. Their methods and missions are:
o
Acting alone.
o
Recruiting others with access to the target.
o
Conducting clandestine surveillance.
o
Performing sabotage.
o
Gathering intelligence.
o
Identifying military units.
