This is the Air Force. This has less to do with OPSEC and more to do with deniability. The latter would be just fine if it pertains strictly to small war doctrine but it doesn't. Shameful opportunists don't want anything with an exchange of ideas on solving problems that are outside of the Air Force box. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss". Read "Flying though Midnight". That is the Air Force. Nothing has changed. The Air Force is not like other branches. The Marines train and fight with ability to improvise as necessary right down to a private knowing he may find himself squad leader. The Air Force has no such doctrine. Each position is compartmentalized due to its mission and structure. There are those that do the work and those whose only motivation is self preservation and protection of the Church as an entity. Personally, the Air Force should have remained the Army Air Corps. Ever since then the adage is to get out as soon as you can or you might find yourself doing all the work or even worse become one of the high priests that get the workers killed. You can't apply typical small wars doctrine to what the Air Force makes up as it goes along.
