If the primary duress code is compromised, whom should you notify immediately?

Notifying Security Forces Operations/S3 immediately after the compromise of a primary duress code is essential because they are specifically tasked with maintaining security and responding to emergencies. The S3, which handles operations within security forces, would initiate an appropriate response to this serious situation. Their role involves assessing threats and coordinating actions to ensure safety and security for personnel and assets.

The S3 is equipped to implement procedures designed to handle compromised security protocols effectively. They are trained to manage the situation and restore security measures, making them the most appropriate point of contact.

The other choices involve personnel who may not have the immediate capability to act on a compromised duress code. While your direct supervisor might need to be informed eventually, it is not their responsibility to handle security emergencies directly. Similarly, the Base Commander or Facilities Management would not be the first response authority concerning this specific issue. The urgency of the matter necessitates contacting the specialized personnel who can take immediate action, reinforcing why the S3 is the correct answer.
