Malicious actors intercepting inbound and outbound communication to determine the scope of the mission is the most concerning issue in this scenario. This is because it could allow the enemy to gain valuable information about the mission, such as the number of troops involved, the location of the mission, and the objectives of the mission. This information could then be used to plan an attack on the mission.
