Summary of Revisions This document has undergone major administrative and regulatory changes as well as the addition of Attachments 2 and 3.

1.0. RESPONSIBILITY.

1.1. It is the responsibility of the AFRL Det 7 Commander and each Division and Branch Chief to ensure that all personnel are familiar with protective measures and procedures outlined in this OI. Familiarity can be demonstrated by querying site personnel as well as reviewing training and inspection records.

1.2. RQOF Security Office is responsible for program monitoring, administration, implementation, and coordinating security requirements in accordance with the introductory paragraph and Attachment 1. This responsibility includes conducting periodic inspections and follow-up actions to ensure compliance with applicable guidance documents as referenced in Attachment 1. This includes submitting/monitoring requests for deviations, exceptions or variances from security criteria, and work order request(s) pertaining to: posting warning signs, fencing, surveillance, lighting requirements, and adherence to AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements.

1.3. Equipment/building custodians and supervisors are responsible for establishing controls that will readily identify any loss, theft, or misappropriation of government property. As a minimum, controls will include frequent reviews and inventories of all property and equipment accounts by the appropriate custodian.

1.4. It is the responsibility of all personnel (military/civilian/contractor) assigned or attached to AFRL/RQ-West to comply with, enforce, and report any deviations from established procedures to their supervisor and security office immediately. Every individual must be knowledgeable of procedures for protecting RQ-West resources and assets.

2.0. GENERAL. AFRL/RQ-West is located approximately 25 miles northeast of the Edwards Air Force Base main cantonment and flight line areas and covers approximately 41,600 acres (65 square miles). This area is used in the testing, research and development, construction, and storage of rocket type vehicles and propellants. All RQ- West boundaries are clearly marked with controlled area signs (fencing in some locations). Portions of the main RQ-West complex are partially enclosed by a 7-foot high chain-link fence. Daily or routine entry to the RQ-West complex is controlled via a single authorized Edwards AFB Gate Entry Control Point (ECP), staffed 24 hours per day by 412th Security Forces Squadron (SFS) personnel, and located at the northeast end of Mercury Boulevard. There are two additional access points (emergency use only) which are located on the RQ-West eastern boundary adjacent to the city of Boron, CA and on the southern boundary adjacent to area 1-56. There are numerous other isolated dirt roads leading into the area that are only controlled by posted signs. In addition, the 412 SFS controls access at the Main Gate entry control point and patrol augments security for the control area as well as the restricted areas. These patrols are permanently assigned to the site.

3.2.1. RQ-West Entry/Access Badge:

3.2.1.1. All newly-assigned RQ-West permanent party military, DoD civilians, and contractors will in-process through RQ-West Security Office. The individual’s Division Security Manager (DSM) or Branch Security Manager (BSM) will prepare and RQ-West Security Office will process the AF Form 2586, Unescorted Entry Authorization Certificate.

Permanently assigned RQ-West personnel will be issued an AF Form 1199, Controlled/Restricted Area Entry Control Badge, with area "U" and, if applicable, restricted areas “19” and/or “20”.

3.2.1.2. If the individual has the need to access a controlled area other than area "U" or a restricted area other than area “19” or “20”, the AF Form 2586 will be processed by the RQ-West Security Office personnel and hand carried by the individual to the appropriate controlled area(s) for coordination. After coordination, completion and issuance of the AF Form 1199, the individual will return the AF Form 2586 to the RQ-West Security Office for records filing.

3.2.1.3. All permanently assigned DoD contractors to RQ-West will have their security personnel prepare two (2) AF Forms 2586. The sponsoring government contract point of contact will sign one AF Form 2586. The second AF Form 2586 will be signed by personnel of the RQ- West Security Office which will allow the permanently assigned contract personnel to be issued an AF Form 1199 with the area “U” and/or area “19” and “20”.

3.2.1.4. Personnel working at RQ-West for less than 90 consecutive days per year are not authorized an AF Form 1199 with area "U", “19” and “20”. They will be processed as a pre-announced visitor (see para 4.4) or as a temporary employee. Employees who do not meet the minimum requirement for an AF Form 1199 will be processed as a temporary employee. Temporary employees will receive a Green RQ-West Controlled Area Badge with area “U” open, issued from the RQ-West Security Office. In addition, the individual’s DSM or BSM will prepare and RQ-West Security Office will process the Air Force Material Command (AFMC) Form 496 (Application for AFMC Identification Card). Once the employee receives their identification (ID) card they need to have a copy put on file in the RQ-West Security Office. Personnel in

4 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009 possession of the Green Controlled Area Badge do not have escort authority. Only personnel issued an AF Form 1199 may serve as escorts.

DoD Contractors with a valid AF Form 1199 and Common Access Card (CAC) may also serve as escorts during duty hours.

3.2.1.5. Military personnel, DoD civilian employees, and DoD

contractor personnel working for the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) will be granted access to the Laboratory if they possess a valid AF Form 1199 with area “U” open. RQ-West Security Office is the sole coordinating office for area “U” on the AF Form 2586.

3.2.1.6. All departing RQ-West personnel in possession of a

Controlled/Restricted Area badge, AF Form 1199 or AFRL Green Badge or base ID (AF Form 75A, Visitor/Vehicle Pass) or any other items issued from the security office, must relinquish the aforementioned items to the RQ-West Security Office before leaving the site as part of the final out-processing procedure. Personnel will sign for a Temporary Badge and ensure that they relinquish that badge to the AFRL ECP prior to the final departure of the controlled area. All Controlled/Restricted Area Badges are controlled and accountable items and must be safeguarded at all times.

The badges must be openly displayed on an outer garment, between shoulders and waist, at all times while within the confines of the RQ-West complex. Controlled/Restricted Area Badges must be removed upon exiting the Controlled Area and not worn in public places. All RQ-West personnel should challenge anyone who does not properly display their Controlled/Restricted Area Badge as well as any unescorted personnel requiring escort within the RQ-West Controlled/Restricted Areas. Direct personnel who do not possess proper credentials back to the ECP for proper in-processing. When challenging, do so without incurring unnecessary personal risk.

3.2.1.7. Lost, misplaced, or stolen badges must be reported to the RQ- West Security Office immediately. The individual who lost the badge will accomplish a Lost Badge Investigative Report. RQ-West Security Office will notify the sponsoring RQ office concerning the reported missing badge. The supervisor will conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the lost or missing badge and file a Report of Investigation (ROI). The individual’s branch chief, supervisor, and the AFRL Det 7 Commander must indorse the ROI prior to bringing it to the RQ-West Security Office. Upon receipt of the ROI, a replacement badge may be issued. When a DoD contractor employee reports a badge missing/lost, investigative responsibilities rest with the sponsoring RQ-West activity.

The individual’s contractor site manager, AF contract manager, supervisor, and the Det 7 Commander must indorse the ROI prior to bringing it to the RQ-West Security Office. If the missing badge is located, notify RQ-West Security Office immediately.

When authorized ECP will be notified via EAL or official letter signed by AFRL Det 7 Commander.

4.13. Visits by Foreign Nationals and Representatives of Foreign Interest (RFI):

RQ-West Security does not have the sole authority to approve visits by foreign nationals representing their government; this authority rests with Secretary of the Air Force/ Internal Affairs (SAF/IA) office. In addition to SAF/IA approval, the AFRL Det 7 Commander has local approval authority for the RQ-West Controlled Area. In the absence of AFRL Det 7 Commander, the designated representative has local approval authority.

4.13.1. Procedure for Official Foreign Visit Requests: Official foreign visit requests are defined as requests from EOARD/AOARD (e.g., Windows on Science), or any other visit initiated through the Foreign Disclosure Technical Information System (FORDTIS) government visit request system.

4.13.1.1. The Edwards AFB (412 SFS/S5IPF) Foreign Disclosure Office (FDO) receives an official visit request through the FORDTIS request system. The 412 SFS/S5IPF notifies the Air Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI) in order to initiate a name check. The 412 SFS/S5IPF also faxes the request to the RQ-West FDO. If the request is received less than 21 duty days before the proposed visit, the AFRL Det 7 Commander can deny the visit. Assuming the request arrives more than 21 duty days before the proposed visit, or AFRL Det 7 Commander approves a request arriving less than 21 duty days before the proposed

8 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009 visit, the RQ-West FDO then notifies the program manager (PM)/POC to prepare a local worksheet for branch/division approval. The local worksheet will be accompanied by an AF Form 1768, Staff Summary Sheet. If either branch or division disapproves of the visit request, the visit is denied and the RQ-West FDO should be notified. If both branch and division approve the request, the PM submits the visit request to AFRL Det 7 Commander for approval. If the AFRL Det 7 Commander disapproves the request, the visit is denied and AFRL Det 7 Commander notifies the RQ-West FDO. If AFRL Det 7 Commander approves the visit request, the RQ-West FDO notifies the PM and the 412 SFS/S5IPF of approval. The FDO then processes the foreign visit request, including generation of a memo for controlled area access.

4.13.1.2. The RQ-West FDO sends the completed visit request

paperwork to the 412 SFS/S5IPF. Visit approval is always subject to revocation for security reasons, including an unfavorable name check by AFOSI. If for any reason the visit request is denied, the RQ-West FDO notifies the 412 SFS/S5IPF, AFOSI, division, branch, and the PM.

4.13.2. Procedure for Unofficial Foreign Visit Requests: Unofficial foreign visit requests are defined as any requests not originating through the FORDTIS visit request system (e.g., via phone, e-mail, letter, personal contact at conferences, etc.).

4.13.2.1. The PM/POC receives an unofficial visit request and initiates the following sequence of events.

4.13.2.1.1. The PM notifies the RQ-West FDO immediately.

4.13.2.1.2. The RQ-West FDO, in turn, immediately notifies

AFOSI in order to initiate a name check. If the request is received less than 21 duty days before the proposed visit, the visit can be denied by the RQ-West FDO due to lack of processing time.

4.13.2.1.3. The RQ-West FDO then notifies the PM/POC to

prepare a local worksheet for branch/division approval. The local worksheet will be accompanied by an AF Form 1768. If either branch or division disapproves the visit request, the visit is denied and the RQ-West FDO should be notified.

4.13.2.1.4. If both branch and division approve the request, the PM submits the visit request to the AFRL Det 7 Commander for approval.

4.13.2.1.5. If the AFRL Det 7 Commander disapproves the request, the visit is denied and AFRL Det 7 Commander notifies the RQ- West FDO.

4.13.2.1.6. If AFRL Det 7 Commander approves the visit, the RQ- West FDO notifies the PM after which the RQ-West FDO processes the foreign visit request, including generation of a memo for controlled area (site) access.

RQ-W OI 31-101, 6 March 2014 9

4.13.2.1.7. The RQ-West FDO sends the completed visit request paperwork to the 412 SFS/S5IPF. An approved visit is always subject to revocation for security reasons, including an unfavorable name check by AFOSI. If for any reason the visit request is denied, the RQ-West FDO notifies the 412 SFS/S5IPF FDO, AFOSI, Division, Branch, and the PM.

4.13.2.1.8. Foreign nationals who are serving in an official

capacity and representing a foreign interest or government will be issued a Red RQ-West Controlled Area Badge, without a photograph, marked "V" for "ESCORT REQUIRED". The sponsoring RQ-West activity of the foreign national(s) will be provided the badge(s) from RQ-West Security Office. The visitor must stay with their laboratory escort at all times. Foreign national visitors are only allowed access during the duty hours of 0600 to 1800 Monday-Friday. Challenge all personnel who do not display their Controlled Area Badge Properly, especially personnel wearing a Red “V” badge. When challenging, do so without incurring unnecessary personal risk. Contact the RQ-West Security Office for additional details and requirements.

5.0. ACCESS GATE OPERATIONS:

5.1. The Main ECP security gates are open from 0600-1800 hours Monday – Friday.

During non-duty days and weekends, both gates are closed. 412 SFS personnel will enforce entry control procedures IAW this OI and 412 SFS operating procedures.

5.2. Security Forces (SF) will visually and/or tactically validate the authenticity of the entrants into the Controlled Area. A 100% ID and badge check by SF will be conducted at all times on all personnel entering through the ECP. Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon all personnel who are authorized access to RQ-West to actively challenge individuals who do not properly display an authorized Controlled Area Badge and direct personnel who do not possess proper credentials back to the ECP for proper in-processing. Drivers shall follow Security Forces personnel instructions for safely approaching the main security gate and cautiously proceeding thereafter.

5.3. Outbound traffic approaching a closed main security gate during non-duty hours should proceed to the proximity card stanchion. Sensors embedded in the road will activate the gate. If the gate fails to open, position your proxy card in front of the reader and wait for the gate to open. Should either of these procedures fail, contact SF at the ECP who can override the system. You are not required to stop and wait for the gate to close before proceeding. Only the interior secondary gates have this requirement. When exiting this gate behind another vehicle, personnel are required to use caution in order to prevent damage to your vehicle and the gate. Report any gate malfunctions immediately to the 412 SFS Law Enforcement Desk at 661-277-3340 or Security Forces manning the

ECP.

5.4. In this ever-changing environment, DoD is mandated to operate under many budget restraints. If Security Forces are forced to reduce the number of hours they are manning the AFRL ECP, this gate may be used for entry purposes by using an RQ-West

10 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009

Security Office programmed proxy card to activate the gate. RQ-West personnel may obtain a proxy card form the RQ-West Security Office. AFTC personnel requiring RQ- West non-duty hour access must obtain a proxy card from their sponsoring organization.

All proxy cards for RQ-West access will be programmed by the RQ-West Security Office.

6.0. SECONDARY SECURITY GATES:

6.1. RQ-West has five secondary security gates which will remain open during normal operations. During periods of increased security awareness, the secondary gates will be closed and paragraph 6.2 - 6.4 will apply. Only authorized personnel with an RQ-West Security Office programmed proxy card will be allowed entry through a secondary security gate.

6.2. Inbound traffic approaching a closed secondary security gate should proceed with caution to the left side of the road and stop adjacent to the proximity card stanchion.

Position the proxy card in front of the reader and wait for the gate to open. After the gate has opened, cautiously proceed through the gate and stop approximately 25 feet thereafter. Wait until the gate has closed to within a half a car width, and then proceed when it is safe to do so. This prevents unauthorized vehicles from following through and confirms proper gate operation. Immediately report anomalous gate functions to the RQ- West Security Office at 661-275-5421 during normal duty hours and the 412 SFS Law Enforcement Desk at 661-277-3340 during non-duty hours. Vehicles entering the secondary security gates have the right-of-way, guaranteeing the inbound personnel have proper credentials to access the area.

6.3. Outbound traffic approaching a closed Secondary Security Gate should proceed with caution to the left side of the road and stop adjacent to the proximity card stanchion.

Position the Proxy Card in front of the reader and wait for the gate to open. After the gate has opened, cautiously proceed through the gate and stop approximately 25 feet thereafter. Wait until the gate has closed to within a half a car width, and then proceed when it is safe to do so. This prevents unauthorized vehicles from following through and confirms proper gate operation. Immediately report anomalous gate functions to the RQ- West Security Office at 661-275-5421 during normal duty hours and the 412 SFS Law Enforcement Desk at 661-277-3340 during non-duty hours. Vehicles that are inbound through the Secondary Security Gates have the right-of-way, guaranteeing the inbound personnel have proper credentials to access the area.

6.4. When escorting visitors through a Secondary Security Gate, it is the responsibility of the escort to guarantee that no unauthorized vehicles or personnel enter the secondary area after the escorted vehicles.

7.0. GUIDELINES FOR PERMANENT NON-U.S. CITIZENS WORKING WITHIN

THE RQ-WEST CONTROLLED AREA:

7.1. All RQ-West employees who are permanent non-U.S. citizens will be issued a RED RQ-West Controlled Area Badge with the employee’s name and photograph if the non-U.S. citizen does not have a completed favorable National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI). If the non-U.S. citizen possesses a favorable NACI, they will be given an AFRL Green Controlled Area Badge.

RQ-W OI 31-101, 6 March 2014 11

7.2. Red and Green Badged personnel will have no escort authority.

7.3. The duty hours for permanent non-U.S. citizen RQ-West employees are 0600 to 1800, Monday-Friday. Non-duty hour access is prohibited. Approval for any deviation from these hours must be obtained via a written request from the branch through division to RQ-West Security Office and approved by the AFRL Det 7 Commander.

7.4. Permanent non-U.S. citizen, Red Badged, RQ-West employees will be escorted within the controlled area at all times. They will not be allowed access to any of the Restricted Areas.

7.5. All permanent non-U.S. citizen RQ-West employees must possess a favorable NACI in order to obtain a government computer account. There will be no government owned/managed unrestricted intranet, internet, or e-mail type access until a favorable NACI has been obtained on the individual.

7.6. Two months prior to employing a non-U.S. citizen at RQ-West, an Operations Security (OPSEC) Vulnerability Analysis must be conducted on the potential employee’s work area by the RQ-West Security Office. This allotted time period is necessary to correct any noted deficiencies. Once the individual begins employment, the work area must be kept clean of all Classified and Sensitive Unclassified materials. Failure to comply with this measure could cause the non-U.S. citizen to be expelled from the controlled area.

8.0. RQ-WEST FACILITY & AREA SECURITY PROCEDURES:

8.1. Security Forces Responsibility. 412 SFS provide law enforcement and security capability to RQ-West and provides a security patrol to assist in the protection of RQ- West resources. Security procedures are outlined in EAFB Plan 31. Security Forces personnel control and assist in the following:

8.1.1. Conducting duty and non-duty hour checks of RQ-West facilities, areas, gates, controlled area fence lines, and facility entry/exits.

8.1.2. Providing armed response to unannounced alarm activations.

8.2.6. Challenge all un-badged and unescorted personnel (those who require escorts) within the Controlled Area. When you come in contact with a suspicious individual, DO NOT attempt to apprehend that person unless you have reason to suspect that their continued freedom would cause harm to personnel or equipment. If the situation warrants, contact the 412 SFS Law Enforcement Desk at 661-277-3340 (or 911) or RQ-West Security Office at 661-275-5241 and monitor the individual's movement.

8.2.7. Be familiar with force protection condition (FPCONs) measures and bomb threat procedures.

8.2.8. Deviations from paragraphs 8.2.1 through 8.2.7 must be authorized in writing from the AFRL Det 7 Commander or appropriate equivalent.

9.0. PILFERAGE CONTROL.

RQ-West has computer equipment, video recorders/players, as well as other high value administrative and RDT&E assets that must be protected. Each individual (military, civilian, or contractor) is responsible for safeguarding government property and reporting its loss, theft, damage, and misuse to the RQ-West Security Office, who will, in turn, notify the appropriate authorities. Additional pilferage control measures include, but are not limited to:

9.1. Not removing any equipment from its location unless approved by the RQ-West Equipment Custodian. Office equipment (e.g., laptop computers, typewriters, etc.) may be removed from the confines of RQ-West with written approval from the equipment custodian by accomplishing an AF Form 1297, Temporary Issue Receipt.

9.2. Protecting pilferable items such as tools, typewriters, batteries, or smaller government-issued items from unauthorized removal. Items such as pens, pencils, paper, envelopes, etc., should not be used for personal use.

9.3. Inventory accountable items/property such as computers, computer software, hardware, calculators, etc., at least annually. Resource protection and pilferage control security measures can be integrated into the DoD 5200.1-R, Information Security Program and AFI 31-401, Information Security Program Management, end-of-day security check requirements.

9.4. Notifying the RQ-West Security Office when problems are encountered with the storage of high value items/equipment. The RQ-West Security Office Resources Protection monitor will refer to EAFB PLAN 31, Integrated Defense Plan, for additional guidance.

9.5. 412 SFS will accomplish an AF Form 1168, Statement of Suspect/Witness/Complainant, on all lost, damaged, stolen, accountable items/equipment.

9.6. RQ-West Security Office will conduct periodic duty and non-duty hour inspections to assess and ensure that adequate security measures are being taken to protect government property. RQ-West Security will be provided an access key to each RQ-West facility, building, and area for non-duty hour inspection purposes only. These keys will be controlled, safeguarded, and accounted for IAW AFI 31-101, Physical Security Program. Use will be limited to RQ-West Security Office personnel only.

RQ-W OI 31-101, 6 March 2014 13

9.7. The RQ-West Security Office will control and maintain keys and locking devices used to secure infrequently used gates.

9.8. Resources protection options are outlined in EAFB Integrated Defense Plan 31.

These options are designed to heighten security awareness and direct implementation of specific security measures to counter suspect or actual security threats or vulnerabilities to USAF resources or personnel, such as:

9.8.1. Actual or expected attack or increased hostile threat against government resources.

9.8.2. Civil unrest, demonstration, disturbance, or confrontation.

9.8.3. Natural emergencies, disasters, or catastrophes.

9.8.4. Temporary shelter for transit of classified materials.

9.8.5. Airplane crash or explosive detonation.

9.8.6. Hostage situation.

9.8.7. Terrorist threats or acts (i.e., FPCONs).

9.8.8. AFI 31-101, Physical Security Program, threat situations.

10.0. FORCE PROTECTION CONDITIONS (FPCONs):

10.1. As a critical resource, any damage or destruction to RQ-West would have very high public interest and possibly a significant political impact or impact the USAF mission. To counter the possibility of damage or destruction, there are four categories of FPCONs:

10.1.1. NORMAL

10.1.2. ALPHA - General threat of possible activity.

10.1.3. BRAVO - Increased or more predictable threat exists.

10.1.4. CHARLIE - An incident has occurred or intelligence has been received indicating imminent terrorist activity.

10.1.5. DELTA - A terrorist attack has occurred or intelligence has been received identifying a specific target location or person.

10.2. Each FPCON directs the protective measures or actions that shall be taken by RQ- West personnel. Upon declaration of any FPCON change, AFRL Det 7 Site Operations Control Center/Unit Control Center (SOCC/UCC) will be activated and convene a meeting of key RQ-West staff. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure there is a consolidated and appropriate response to the threat. The AFRL Det 7 Commander then directs how specific measures will be implemented as directed by the Installation Commander.

10.3. RQ-West personnel will be notified of FPCON changes via ROCK TV, email, aural alert system, radio, posted signs at the ECP, electronic marquee board, or runner.

AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC is the focal point for all notification actions. The SOCC/UCC maintains necessary checklists for initiating and complying with FPCON measures.

14 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009

10.4. FPCON POCs (e.g., building managers or designated personnel) are responsible for notifying their personnel and to ensuring FPCON measures are implemented as directed. Personnel will periodically review FPCON ALPHA actions and ensure that appropriate security measures are being enforced as part of RQ-West daily security efforts. Branch/division chiefs are responsible for requesting any exemptions from the AFRL Det 7 Commander and for advising the AFRL Det 7 Commander whenever measures have a significant negative impact on their mission.

11.0. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:

11.1. In the event of a fire, explosion, earthquake, or any other man-made or natural disaster which necessitates an emergency evacuation of RQ-West facilities, the following actions will be initiated or implemented:

11.1.1. The AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC will be activated and serve as the focal point for coordinating all emergency actions/efforts. Key RQ-West personnel should report to the control center when requested.

11.1.2. Personnel will be notified via the RQ-West aural alert system, ROCK TV, telephone, or runner and instructed as to what actions to implement, to include assembly areas or locations, safety precautions to be taken, emergency exit routes, etc., as appropriate.

11.1.3. Supervisors will account for all personnel and notify SOCC of the results.

11.1.4. Personnel will stand-by at designated locations/areas until notified to do otherwise. Under no circumstances will personnel depart RQ-West unless specifically instructed to do so by competent authority.

11.1.5. Personnel handling or processing classified material at the time of the emergency will secure all classified material, time and personal safety permitting, or cover the information and carry it with them. Individuals having classified material in their possession will report to the AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC or a designated facility where a temporary storage capability exists. Emergency personnel will be notified of unsecured classified, and entry/exit points will be monitored. Upon conclusion of the emergency, all unsecured classified must be accounted for. Personnel will not risk injury or the loss of life to secure classified material.

11.1.6. In the event of emergencies or construction projects within a restricted/controlled area which alters normal circulation procedures, specific guidance outlined in Attachments 2 and 3 must be implemented. Authorization for Free Zones will be IAW Edwards AFB Integrated Defense Plan.

12.0. BOMB, CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL THREATS AND PROCEDURES:

12.1. Every RQ-West work center is subject to bomb threats, actual bombings, or nonconventional threat attacks. All personnel must be aware of and prepared to implement emergency action if a bomb threat is received or enacted.

12.2. Each threat, including the location and details/information surrounding the device, will vary, making it impossible to establish a single procedure and/or action to be applied in all instances. Although an actual device may not be present, actions must be

RQ-W OI 31-101, 6 March 2014 15 implemented to protect personnel from injury or loss of life. The initial notification of a bomb threat may be received from a variety of sources: anonymous or known personnel, via telephone, written note, or through a second or third person. The possibility exists that multiple work centers may receive threats simultaneously identifying different locations as targets with varying activation times. Circumstances surrounding each situation will dictate the degree of physical risk to be taken in the protection of classified information and essential resources. Personnel safety is paramount over the protection of government property.

12.3. AF Form 440, Bomb Threat Aid, must be maintained within close proximity of each telephone. All personnel must be knowledgeable of how to use the checklist properly and apply emergency actions as appropriate.

12.4. Any person receiving a telephone bomb threat (known or unidentified source) will record the time and KEEP THE LINE OPEN (do not hang up). Remain calm, do not intimidate the caller through threats or bluffs, cooperate as much as possible, and remain noncommittal. Immediately implement actions as outlined on the AF Form 440 to solicit as much information as possible.

12.5. If possible, summon a second person to monitor the call from a different phone and assist you in initiating the following action:

12.5.1. Telephone the 412 SFS Law Enforcement desk at 661-277-3340 or 911 and advise them of the bomb threat, time received, affected building/facility number and any other available information. The 412 SFS will relay the information to the SOCC. The SOCC/UCC will serve as the focal point for all emergency actions.

12.5.2. Notify the RQ-West Security Office at 661-275-5241/5389 as a backup.

Security Forces will respond to the AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC to coordinate and assist with emergency efforts.

12.5.2.1. The AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC will notify the building/facility custodian or user personnel by the most expedient means available and have all personnel evacuated. If large quantities of hazardous chemicals are subject to accidental release, ensure personnel evacuate UPWIND from the affected area when appropriate. If time permits, personnel should conduct a cursory search of their work areas prior to evacuating, being alert for any suspicious or unidentified personnel or objects.

Immediately report any suspicious findings to the AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC. At no time will a suspicious object be handled or touched.

12.5.2.2. On-scene RQ-West supervisors and office chiefs will account for all personnel and ensure that they are evacuated a safe distance from the affected facility/area (minimum of 300 feet). Personnel will not be allowed to re-enter the affected facility/area until it is declared safe by appropriate authorities. Personnel evacuating the affected facility/area should be observant for suspicious objects placed along evacuation paths or outside the area (if terrorists and criminals can't bring a bomb to the people, they bring the people to the bomb). Personnel should not run. If a

16 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009 suspicious object is observed, notify the RQ-West Security Office personnel or the AFRL Det 7 SOCC/UCC immediately once all personnel safety is assured.

12.5.2.3. Building custodians or user personnel of facilities/buildings NOT affected will be instructed to conduct a search around their areas for suspicious objects or packages and notify the RQ-West Site Operations Control Center if something is discovered. At no time will a suspicious object be handled or touched.

12.5.2.4. Personnel handling or processing classified information at the time the bomb threat is received/announced will secure the classified information or cover the information and carry it with them. Once outside the affected area, personnel in possession of classified material will take the classified to the RQ-West Security Office for temporary storage as long as Bldg. 8252 is not the affected area. If Bldg. 8252 is the affected area, other arrangements for storage will be made by the RQ-West Security Office. Emergency personnel entering affected facilities/areas will be notified of unsecured classified. The RQ-West Security Office and owner/user personnel will monitor entry/exit points of facilities/areas where classified has been left unsecured. All unsecured classified information must be accounted for upon completion of the emergency.

12.5.2.5. Do not make any radio transmissions within the immediate area of any suspected explosive device, as this could prematurely trigger a radio controlled detonation device. In an open area, allow approximately 100 feet between the device and any radio transmission. If a device is indoors, allow for some distance and shielding (such as walls or structural members) between the device and any radio transmissions.

12.5.2.6. Standby to assist responding emergency forces (security forces, fire department, EOD, etc.).

13.0. LOCK AND KEY CONTROL:

13.1. Facility/area access keys are maintained, controlled, and issued by the designated/ responsible custodian. Each RQ-West branch chief is responsible for appointing custodians/managers for each facility or area under their control. The designated custodian/manager, in coordination with the division chief, will determine which personnel will be issued facility/area access keys. Keys will be issued via a log, roster, or AF Form 1297, and inventoried at least annually. Once issued, the recipient becomes responsible for safeguarding the keys. The custodian/manager will be notified immediately of any loss or stolen keys. All departing RQ-West personnel will turn in their issued keys to the respective building custodian/manager. Several facilities are afforded the added protection of electronic door locks that are controlled by the Hirsch System. These doors require either a proxy card or a CAC to gain access during non-duty hours and periods of increased security awareness. Each RQ-West branch chief is responsible for identifying which of their employees require proxy cards and access levels authorized to them. AFRL RQ-West will only issue proxy cards to employees identified for issuance by their respective branch chief.

RQ-W OI 31-101, 6 March 2014 17

13.2. Facilities/structures storing sensitive research & development assets/components, equipment, or high value items will establish, publish, and implement key control procedures.

13.3. Keys to desks or cabinets are not accountable, but should be controlled by each user to protect against unauthorized access and prevent pilferage.

13.4. Keys and locks used to safeguard classified material will be protected, controlled, inventoried, and accounted for in accordance with DoD 5200.1-R and AFI 31-401.

13.5. Security container combination changes will be coordinated through the RQ-West Security Office.

13.6. Keys/lock procedures for Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E) facilities are outlined in Attachment 4.

14.0. PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLES (POV):

14.1. POV parking within the RQ-West Controlled Area is authorized. POV operators will use designated parking lots and spaces only. No POV will be parked in any area or manner which creates a hazard.

14.2. All unoccupied POVs must be secured and safety brakes set for security and safety reasons.

14.3. No POVs will be parked within 100 ft. of Ammunition and Explosive (A&E) facilities.

14.4. POVs may be authorized to park within a Restricted Area only when a deviation to do so is approved IAW Edwards Air Force Base Integrated Defense Plan with 412 TW/CC concurrence.

15.0. AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES. All A&E issues will be managed by the RQ- West Munitions Control Office with coordination through RQ-West Security.

16.0. ALARM SYSTEM OPERATION. Several facilities are afforded the added protection of alarm systems. These alarm systems are to be activated, deactivated, and tested monthly by the system users. System monitoring is accomplished by the 412 SFS Law Enforcement Desk.

17.0. PHOTOGRAPHY. Photography within the RQ-West Controlled and Restricted Areas is prohibited, unless approved by the RQ-West Security Office. All non RQ-West photographers must be under escort by an RQ-West POC while taking photographs within the RQ-West confines. Any individual(s) observed taking photographs will be challenged and, if not properly authorized, the RQ-West Security Office will be notified immediately. Contractor controlled areas/sites within RQ-West confines must also comply with this requirement.

18.0. TRAINING:

18.1. Indoctrination training will be provided by RQ West Personnel Office and the RQ-West Security Office within 60 workdays of all newcomers’ arrival at RQ-West.

Supervisors will notify RQ West Personnel Office in writing (outlining specific circumstances) when newly assigned personnel are unable to attend the first scheduled

18 RZ-W OI 31-101 3 April 2009 indoctrination training briefing after their arrival/assignment to the laboratory.
