DV mission considerations include which items?

• A. Mission sensitivity
• B. Number of ravens
• C. Dress code
• D. Mission sensitivity, number of ravens, dress code, and customs and courtesies

Answer: (D)

When planning a dignitary-visit mission, you consider every factor that can affect security and how you interact with people in the environment. Mission sensitivity drives the level of risk and dictates the protective posture, routes, and contingencies you’ll need. The number of Ravens determines manpower, coverage, and response capability; it shapes how you stage the team, communicate, and coordinate with other agencies. Dress code matters because uniforms convey authority, support the mission’s security needs, and ensure appropriate visibility and practicality in the environment. Customs and courtesies cover how you interact with officials, travelers, and host-nation personnel, reducing misunderstandings and maintaining professionalism and security.

All four areas together give a complete picture of what’s required for a successful mission, so this option is the best choice.
