Which task is NOT considered a part of Security Forces' mission essential tasks?

Conducting military intelligence operations is not considered part of the Security Forces' mission essential tasks because the primary focus of Security Forces centers on the protection of personnel, installations, and assets rather than intelligence gathering or analysis activities. Their responsibilities typically include installation and asset protection, training and maintenance of small arms, and providing military working dog support, all of which directly contribute to maintaining security and order within military environments. In contrast, military intelligence operations fall under the purview of different units whose main role is to gather, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information, which is separate from the core security tasks that Security Forces perform.
