a. The lowest level of security exists in GENERAL ACCESS AREAS. These AREAS are all of Dyess AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" AREAS.

b. USAF Controlled Access AREAS are the mid-level security AREAS. Presence within the CONTROLLED ACCESS AREA is by authorization; however, the movement of authorized personnel in and out of these AREAS is generally not impeded. Contractor personnel are given access to these

AREAS.

c. The third and highest level of security on Dyess AFB is that within the USAF RESTRICTED AREAS. These AREAS are further subdivided to be known as Protection Level 1, 2 or 3 AREAS.
