Suppression orders are justified only where publication would materially imperil safety or operational effectiveness; applying that test the Court granted non-publication of identifying particulars of AOS/STG members and suppression of STG call signs (except Zero Alpha) and a minute-by-minute operational plan portion of the Request for Assistance (page 108 up to 'Legal Authority'), but refused broader suppression of the remaining document material as not operationally sensitive; interim continuation of non-publication for the two documents was ordered to permit consideration of appeal.
