SAMPLE CHAPTER 1

PHYSICAL SECURITY STANDARDS

1. General. USNS Neversail will use the five Force Protection conditions (FPCON) used by DoD. These measures are applicable regardless of our operational status (i.e., in port, at anchor, underway).

2. The following security procedures will be conducted at all times, regardless of FPCON:

a. ATO designated in writing.

b. A 24-hour Deck Watch Officer.

c. Watch personnel are familiar with the Ship's Security

Plan and have been briefed on all special instructions.

d. A Ship Security Bill is in place and current with designated personnel assigned.

e. Pre-Planned Responses (PPRs) are available and tailored to the ship.

f. Personnel bomb threat Response Plan readily available to watch.

g. All topside watch personnel are equipped in accordance with Chapter 7. In addition, Watch Officer and Engine Room Watch Officer are equipped with hand-held communication devices.

h. A visitor/vendor access badge system is implemented at the gangway.

i. A watch stander assigned (either military, ship's company or contract security guard) and access control procedures (visitor's log/ID check) are in effect on all active ladders, ramps and gangways. Cipher-locked gate for ships in

ROS.

j. All ladders, ramps and gangways raised and/or secured when not in use.

k. Rat guards utilized alongside the pier, and chain hawse covers in place when at anchor.

K-4

l. Cargo lights utilized to the maximum extent to illuminate main deck, all active accesses, inboard and outboard sides during periods of darkness. Appropriate lighting measures will supply adequate illumination depending on weather conditions to prevent blinding or silhouetting watches.

m. All hatchways are secured to controlled areas or as the Master deems appropriate.

n. If in a U.S. port, ship’s officers, deck watch standers and security personnel involved with protecting the ship will be familiar with Naval Vessel Protection Zones (NVPZs) and if DoD or USCG boats are not readily available, the ship will inform the USCG of violations of the 100-yard exclusion zone.

K-5

SAMPLE CHAPTER 2

SECURITY BILL

1. General. The purpose of this chapter is to promulgate assignments/procedures in relation to the FPCON assigned the area which the USNS Neversail is operating. Additionally, the implementation of the ship's reaction force will be tailored to the conditions encountered. The reaction force will augment the normal watches at sea, anchor or pierside, when required.

a. The following assignments will be implemented during FPCON Normal or as the Master, ATO or Watch Officer deems appropriate.

RANK ASSIGNMENT

Master Overall Command Chief Mate ATO Second Mate Assistant ATO Third Mate Watch Officer Watch Gangway Watch Roving Patrol AFT Watch Roving Patrol FWD

b. If the Ship’s Reaction Force must be activated, the following personnel assignments will be implemented:

RANK Location Master Bridge- Overall Command Chief Mate Bridge

Reaction Team:

ATO Force Protection Locker (Issuing Gear to SRF)-On-

Scene Leader Bosun FP Locker Watch FP Locker Watch FP Locker

(1) A11 Reaction Force personnel will be equipped as specified in Chapter (7) of this plan.

(2) Weapons will be issued at the discretion of the

Master only.

c. Personnel assigned to the above teams will also be the

K-6 assigned bomb response teams. This will reduce the requirements for weapon qualifications.

d. Personnel assigned to the above positions:

(1) Act as a show of force.

(2) Protect the ship and its crew.

(3) Repel all intruders.

e. Only the Master, Chief Mate, ATO or Watch Officer can authorize the use of the reaction force.

K-7

SAMPLE CHAPTER 3

INTRUSION ALARM SYSTEM

1. General. The primary use of the ship's alarm system is to provide the fastest, most widespread notification of an emergency. Alarm contacts are located at the gangway and (port/stbd) and bridge (Vessel to input exact locations).

2. Information. The following alarms and signals aboard the USNS Neversail will be used to announce a security alert:

a. General Alarm (Primary)

(1) Location: Bridge and gangway areas

(2) Signal: 5 short rings (continuously with 5 second breaks between each ring group)

b. Ship’s Whistle (Alternate)

(1) Location: Bridge

(2) Signal: 5 short blasts (same as above)

c. Duress Words/Codes (Chapter 5)

(1) Location: All hands

(2) Signal: Changed as deemed appropriate

3. Action. In the event of an alarm indicating a security violation or incident has occurred; all accesses to the ship will immediately be secured. Designated security teams (except those on watch) shall immediately report to weapons/gear locker for assignment and orders. The ATO or designated officer in charge will coordinate all required actions until situation is resolved. The designated command post, if required, will be on the Bridge. All crewmembers not involved will stand fast or take cover as appropriate.

K-8

SAMPLE CHAPTER 4

DURESS WORDS AND CODES

1. General. Persons on watch are subject to hostile actions at any time, due to the fact that they are most likely to first encounter hostile visitors or intruders. Although OVERTLY spreading the alarm will be the most rapid means of calling for assistance, there may be times (hostage situations, etc.) where a more COVERT means will be the better action.

2. Information. As a matter of routine this ship will implement and use a Duress Word/Code system to quietly announce a person in distress. This Duress Word/Code will be implemented in the following ways:

a. A Duress Word may be passed from a person in any fashion (i.e., the general announcing system, hand-held radio, in person, etc.). ALL HANDS know the active Duress Word/Code and know what actions to take should they hear this word.

b. The Duress Word will be changed whenever the Word has been compromised or deemed appropriate.

c. Occasionally, it may be necessary to alter with a Code, or to include a Code with a Word. A Code will be some sort of physical action that can be determined at a distance (i.e., Gangway Watch not wearing his ball cap, etc.)

d. The Duress Word/Code will not be written down.

3. Action.

a. The ATO will:

(1) Ensure that all personnel are familiar with the active Duress Word/Code.

(2) Conduct periodic training and drills in reaction to the covert duress procedures.

(3) Change the Word or Code as required.

b. The Watch Officer will:

(1) Ensure familiarity with the Duress Word or Code in

K-9 effect.

(2) Ensure that watch personnel under your supervision are appropriately reminded of Duress Words/Codes and understand the response necessary upon learning of a person in distress.

(3) Upon hearing the Duress Word or Code used by any person aboard this ship, inform all hands by the most expeditious (but covert) means possible on the actions to be taken.

(4) Initiate required action in accordance with this instruction based on the type action deemed necessary.

c. Watch Personnel will become thoroughly familiar with the Active Codes/Words and actions to be taken by them.

d. All Hands will:

(1) Ensure knowledge of the active Words/Codes.

(2) Upon hearing the duress signal, inform all hands by the most expeditious (but covert) means possible.

(4) All crewmembers not involved in the security response are to stand fast.

4. All Clear Code Word

a. As with the Duress Word, the All Clear Code Word (to stand down) will not be written down and will be familiar to hands aboard.

b. Master, Chief Officer or ATO will announce all clear code word over PA system and/or phone crew within locked-down spaces as needed.

c. Intent of this is to assure a legitimate stand down of SRF and crew in quarters, after a security alert.

SAMPLE CHAPTER 10

RESTRICTION OR CANCELLATION OF CREW LEAVE/LIBERTY

1. General. Liberty will normally be granted during off duty hours in port unless conditions warrant differently. Heightened FPCONs will cause an increase in the number of duty personnel and may cause denial of shore leave or recall of personnel after shore leave has been granted.

a. The Master will determine whether leave is granted/denied, or to implement a personnel recall. In his absence, the First Officer or Duty Officer will make these decisions.

b. As soon as all available intelligence information is gathered and a threat evaluation is assessed for the port of embark, leave information will be announced to all crewmembers.

c. All personnel going on shore liberty/leave will ensure they know how to get in touch with the ship (local emergency phone numbers).

d. The ATO will check with local U.S. shore patrol, SOPA, USOs or United Seaman's Service Clubs for availability and locations of "safe houses." This information will be given to all personnel going on shore leave or liberty.

e. All emergency information will be posted at gangway for all crew personnel to read.

f. If an emergency recall of personnel is required, information will be disseminated by all safe and possible means available (i.e., radio, TV, shore patrol, etc.).

g. Upon recall, all crewmembers will immediately report back to the ship. If unable to return due to hostilities, personnel will attempt to report to the nearest "safe house."

Once at the "safe house”, contact the ship. If contact cannot be made, notify the American Embassy or shore patrol of your location and request assistance.

SAMPLE CHAPTER 11

DECK/ROVING PATROLS

1. General. Whether the ship is pierside, at anchor, or in route, it is vulnerable to pirate or terrorist acts. These conditions or an increased FPCON warrants roving patrols aboard the USNS XXXXXXXXXX. The implementation and degree to which the patrols are used will be determined by the Master, ATO or Watch Officer.

a. All patrols will be in the proper uniform of the day and equipped as specified in Chapter (7) of this security plan.

b. Patrols will, at least once an hour, check on the security of radio central, bridge, engine room and weapon storage area.

c. The patrol will be a continuous roving patrol.

Additional Roving Patrol Watches will be added per the Master’s or ATO’s judgment.

d. Patrol routes and cycles will vary as much as possible to reduce predictability.

e. All irregularities noted during rounds shall be immediately reported to the Watch Officer. Once reported to the Watch Officer, it will be recorded in the gangway log.

f. Security violations or incidents will be entered into the Official Deck Log and the Security Journal. Reporting of these incidents to higher authority will be per reference (a).

g. All roving patrols will check in with the gangway watch at intervals not to exceed 1 hour.

K-28

SAMPLE CHAPTER 12

SECURITY LIGHTING

1. General. The ability of a perpetrator to gain access to a ship has a higher degree of success during the hours of darkness then daylight. Adequate lighting lessens that degree of success by increasing the effectiveness of security personnel, acting as a deterrent and by making the perpetrators job more difficult.

a. Lighting will be such that it will not cause a glare that hinders vision of security personnel or navigability of water traffic.

b. Light sources will be directed towards likely avenues of approach and/or waterline. Light implementation will provide an overlap so not to have any dark spaces and be continuous around the total ship.

c. Security lighting will be activated during all hours of darkness.

d. All deficiencies or needed repairs will be logged in and reported to the Watch Officer immediately. Temporary lighting will be established ASAP.

(Each MSC vessel will be required to input their specific lighting scheme into the plan.)
