## Chapter 2 Site Security Systems

21. General This section prescribes minimum security standards for AJCC facilities and personnel and procedural requirements.

22. Site facilities a. Site R.

(1) All entrances to the outer tunnel of Site R will be protected by a minimum of two barriers with intrusion detection systems (IDS). Entrances will be adequately lighted during the hours of darkness or reduced visibility. The entrances will also be under continuous surveillance using electronic measures (closed circuit television (CCTV)) or by dedicated security personnel.

(2) The vehicular and personnel entrances from the outer tunnel into the inner tunnel of the AJCC will be protected by two blast doors with electronic surveillance at the entrances of both doors. Personnel, vehicles, and packages/materials entering the first blast door will be inspected prior to entering the second door.

b. Site RT. Site RT will be protected by two permanent barriers meeting the requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Standard Details for Chain Link Security Fences, Drawing Code STD 8729000 series, with a minimum height of 6 feet and an 18-inch top guard. A clear zone will extend 20 feet inside and outside the outer perimeter barrier and the perimeter will be lighted during hours of darkness and reduced visibility. Perimeter IDS sensors will be installed at the discretion of the CG, MDW.

c. Site security control center (SSCC). A SSCC will be dedicated to provide overall control of security force personnel, communications, CCTV monitors, lighting, and alarm systems for the AJCC. It will have a backup power supply to provide an uninterrupted emergency power source for its operation.

d. Backup power supply. All electronic security, surveillance, and entry control systems will have primary and auxiliary power sources capable of maintaining full operation of the systems for a minimum of 4 hours. Switchover to the auxiliary power source will be automatic upon failure of the primary power source.

23. Access controls a. The AJCC will be designated and posted as a restricted area as outlined in AR 19013.

b. Strict personnel and vehicular access control procedures will be established to ensure positive identification and visitor control. Procedures for inspection and movement of packages, materiel, and property will be established.

c. Access control measures will include as a minimum, the use of security cards and badges and a duress system. Electronic access control systems are permitted as determined by the CG, MDW, and must meet the technical approval of the Weapons System Manager for Physical Security Equipment (WSMPSE), Belvoir Research, D e v e l o p m e n t ,  a n d  E n g i n e e r i n g  C e n t e r ,  F o r t  B e l v o i r ,  V A 220605606.

24. Perimeter barriers and lighting a. Limited and exclusion areas will be protected by perimeter barrier fencing (USACE Drawing Code STD 8729000 series) with a minimum height of 6 feet and an 18-inch top guard. Clear zones will be maintained using guidance in FM 1930.

b. Indoor and outdoor security lighting will be provided at points of entry into the limited and exclusion areas. Protective lighting for the perimeter of limited and exclusion areas should be applied per FM 1930.

25. Intrusion detection systems a. The IDS is an essential part of the physical security system.

IDS should be installed to ensure that
(1) Breaches of security boundaries are detected. (2) There is a timely detection of unauthorized access attempts. (3) Information regarding adversary movement toward a target is provided to the security force, where appropriate.

(4) Equipment is safeguarded, and critical and vulnerable facilities are protected as determined by the CG, MDW.

b. The CG, MDW, determines the IDS to be integrated. Proposed IDS must meet the technical approval of WSMPSE, prior to procurement, installation, and system integration.

c. Personnel monitoring the IDS will maintain records of alarms.

These records will be used to evaluate IDS effectiveness (reliability, sensitivity, required adjustments or maintenance, and other data intended to maintain or increase security). Records will be retained for 1 year. Records will include the nature of the alarm, the date and time the alarm was received, the location, and the action taken in response to the alarm. These records will be reviewed by supervisor personnel to ensure proper actions were taken, and to identify and correct IDS reliability problems (false and nuisance alarms). DA Form 4930R (Alarm Intrusion Detection Record) may be used to record alarms received. A reproduction copy of DA Form 4930R is located in the back of the Physical Security Handbook 103, and prescribed by AR 19011. A computer-generated printout of alarms may be used as a substitute, provided all required information has been included or supplemental information is included in a log.

d. All security-related detection equipment and components will have a regularly applied test, maintenance, and quality assurance program to ensure an effective and operable system. The tests will be conducted per manufacturer and or military technical manuals. A record of all tests will be maintained for 1 year. It will reflect the date of the test, the name of the person conducting the test, and any required corrective action resulting from the test.

26. Security forces a. Primary security force personnel will be military. b. The organization, duties, equipment, communications requirements, and training for security and augmentation forces will be determined by the CG, MDW, using guidance in FM 1930.

c. Security force personnel will be tested regularly on assessing alarm activations, responding to intruders and other situations, and reporting suspicious activities or unusual circumstances.
