DV mission considerations include which of the following?

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

Answer: (D)

DV mission planning covers multiple interacting factors to ensure security, protocol, and effectiveness. Mission sensitivity guides how protective postures and countermeasures are tuned for the level of risk and diplomatic importance. The number of Ravens determines whether there is enough personnel to provide coverage, rapid response, and threat assessment throughout the mission. Dress code matters for projecting authority, maintaining OPSEC, and aligning with host-nation expectations. Customs and courtesies govern the proper conduct, greetings, and interactions with dignitaries and officials, helping prevent cultural or diplomatic missteps. Together these elements create a ready, respectful, and effective mission plan, so including all of them is essential.
