Imagine a video of it on the internet. The average military guy, SF or other wise is going to be spending his time thinking about the safety of his family not the task at hand. I do not think we could possibly safeguard the dependents against this threat short of bringing them all on post. Imagine when your wife is told her and the kids will now be residing in a nice comfy GP-medium in the parade field for the next several years!
At my current place of employment one of the courses I teach is Surveillance Detection (SD). I am currently single with no children.

Some of the folks I train are going to areas with their family members. As an experiment I worked with my God Daughter who is six years old to see how easy it would be to teach SD TTPs to people with no training. You would be surprised just how well she picked up on the basics.

One of the things I encourage my students to do is to think of their entire family as part of one big Surveillance Detection Team and to train them accordingly. If I can get my six year old God Daughter to detect our role players we use for our exercises than anyone can train their families to do it.
