Chapter 2 Policy

2–1. General

a. PS systems should incorporate technology and equipment available within the Federal Government and the private sector to provide cost-effective protection, automated accountability, and inventory control. PS equipment management policy is established in AR 190–13. Security criteria will be included in initial plans for research and development, as well as all new or modified construction projects.

b. To minimize the cost of PS inventory control, and to reduce theft vulnerability, the quantities of AA&E and the number of storage facilities for AA&E should be reduced. Storage should be consolidated to the maximum extent consistent with operational, safety, and training requirements.

(1) The AA&E should be removed from designated storage areas as briefly as possible. The quantity to be removed should be as small as possible to support specific missions or projects. Storage areas should be as small as possible and be consistent with safety standards, security, and mission requirements.

(2) Further reduction of costs for protection and inventory control can be effected by grouping the consolidation of AA&E into smaller storage areas by assigned risk category and providing the degree of PS protection needed for that

category. Priority attention will be given to demilitarization or disposal of obsolete and unserviceable AA&E to avoid unnecessary storage, security, and inventory-related costs.

(3) The provisions of this regulation are intended to provide adequate storage security for AA&E at most DA activities. There may be a few unusual activities, such as large depots or remote storage areas without existing electrical service, where not all criteria in this regulation can be directly applied in a cost-effective manner. At these unusual or unique facilities, local conditions must be carefully evaluated, and the security system must be tailored to the local conditions.

2–2. Construction of facilities

a. The provisions of this regulation are mandatory for construction of new permanent storage structures at land-based installations that store sensitive AA&E. Modification to existing facilities will be accomplished per the criteria set forth in this regulation.

b. The tearing down and rebuilding of facilities will not be undertaken, unless the concerned command and IMCOM have determined that existing security measures cannot be supplemented to provide the required degree of protection.

When nonstandard structures or facilities provide equivalent or better protection, modifications will not be undertaken.

Exceptions to this policy will be granted under paragraph 2–4, below.

c. Upgrading of existing storage structures must be consistent with approved plans for future development and new construction plans. The type, planned use, modification costs, and remaining economic life of storage structures must be considered. Additionally, in determining upgrade requirements, ammunition, and explosives will be consolidated by risk category to the maximum extent consistent with operational, safety, and training requirements. Compensatory security measures will be established for AA&E storage structures that do not meet minimum construction standards.

Definitive drawings and specifications for new construction, upgrade, or modification of AA&E storage structures will be coordinated with the engineer office, safety office, and LEA, PM, DES, or security police office to ensure that safety and PS requirements are met.

d. Qualified engineer personnel will verify the structure composition of AA&E storage facilities (for example, walls, ceilings, roofs, floors, and doors). Statements will be prepared on DA Form 4604 (Security Construction Statement).

Statements will indicate the highest construction category met for storage of AA&E (for example, Category I, Category II, Category III, or Category IV AA&E items) and date of applicable regulation (see para 2–4, below, for procedures when structural deficiencies exist). The DA Form 4604 will be affixed to the interior wall of each AA&E storage facility. A blanket statement on DA Form 4604 may be issued at an installation for all facilities, such as ammunition magazines, constructed according to the same specifications. Under these circumstances, a copy of the DA Form 4604 need not be affixed to the interior wall of each individual storage structure, but must specifically identify the facilities by number and location and be readily available for inspection. Security construction statements will be reviewed during PS surveys and inspections. The statements will be revalidated by engineer personnel every five years.

e. PS personnel will monitor construction of new facilities and renovation of existing facilities. Engineer personnel will coordinate new construction and renovation projects with the local PM or security officer. In addition to meeting construction standards, storage of AA&E will meet PS criteria, such as Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), locks and hasps, lighting, and security patrols, as necessary, for the particular category of AA&E involved.

2–3. Intrusion Detection System priority lists

a. Priority of installation of the IDS is as follows:

(1) Facilities storing Category I items, when protection is inadequate. Those having the largest quantity will receive initial attention.

(2) Facilities storing Category II items.

(3) Facilities storing Category III items.

(4) Facilities storing Category IV items.

b. Deviations from these priorities will be permitted only when IMCOM has determined that a local threat dictates these deviations.

2–4. Security criteria deviation program

a. Purpose. The purpose of the AA&E security criteria deviation program is to—

(1) Ensure that prescribed security requirements are properly observed and implemented at all AA&E facilities.

(2) Provide a management tool to monitor corrective actions.

(3) Ensure that deviations from established security requirements are systematically and uniformly identified and approved at the proper level of command. Waivers and exceptions are deviations from specific security requirements prescribed in this regulation.

b. Waivers. A waiver may be approved for temporary relief from a specific requirement prescribed in this regulation pending actions to conform to the requirement.

(1) A waiver may be approved for a period not to exceed 12 months and extended only after a review of the circumstances that necessitate the extension.

(2) Compensatory security measures are required in the interim. Compensatory security measures approved by the AA&E facility commander/director will remain in effect pending formal review and final approval by the approving authority.

(3) Deficiencies that are correctable within 60 days do not require a waiver; however, ensure compensatory security measures are taken during the interval. In such cases, the compensatory measure must be, in writing, approved by the AA&E facility commander/director and the next higher commander in the chain of command.

c. Exception. An exception may be approved for permanent relief from a specific requirement prescribed in this regulation.

(1) Approve exceptions only when correction of the deviation is adjudged to be not feasible or cost-effective and only after a most careful and critical evaluation of the facts in the case.

(2) Notify the approving authority through command channels when the exception is no longer needed.

(3) Review all exceptions during PS inspections or when a major change in site configuration or mission offers the opportunity for corrective action to terminate the exception.

(4) The AA&E facility commander/director, to whom the exception was granted, will conduct the review. Forward all reviews through command channels to the approving authority granting the exception.

(5) Compensatory security measures are required in the interim. Compensatory security measures approved by the

AA&E facility commander/director will remain in effect pending formal review and final approval by the approving authority.

d. Exceptions and waivers. Exceptions and waivers will not be used to reduce or eliminate minimum security requirements in this regulation. Evaluate each waiver or exception on a case-by-case basis.

e. Compensatory measures.

(1) Institute compensatory measures for each deficiency.

(2) One compensatory measure may suffice for more than one deficiency.

(3) Security measures will compensate for the specific vulnerability created by a deficiency when a minimum security requirement in this regulation cannot be met. A security requirement directed by this regulation cannot serve as a compensatory measure for a deficiency.

(4) Compensatory measures may include additional security forces, procedures, and/or PS devices such as additional locks, alarms, lighting, and delay devices. Design the criteria for accepting compensatory measures to specifically enhance the security posture in light of the deficient situation.

(5) Compensatory measures that consist primarily of instructions to the security force to increase their alertness do not provide a comparable level of security.

(6) The AA&E sites lacking an installed IDS, will conduct a thorough assessment to determine compensatory measures most reasonable to ensure near-real time assessment of an attempted facility intrusion. The assessment will include a full explanation of the factors considered in formulating the compensatory measures.

f. Arms, ammunition, and explosives security considerations.

(1) The AA&E facility commander/director will ensure that prescribed compensatory measures are implemented, as required.

(2) Security forces will be advised of all standing deviations and compensatory measures in assigned duty areas.

(3) Prescribed compensatory measures for individual deficiencies must not, when considered in total, unrealistically task the security forces.

g. Approval procedures. Requests for waivers and exceptions are initiated by the AA&E facility commander/director and forwarded through appropriate command channels to Headquarters, Department of the Army, Provost Marshal General (DAPM–MPP–PS), 2800 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–2800.

h. Waiver and exception requests. All waiver and exception requests will include the following:

(1) Subject of request. An example includes, Request for Waiver at Dugway Proving Grounds – Intrusion Detection

System.

(2) Reasons for request. State the problems and/or deficiencies that constitute requirements below those cited in this regulation (cite references and state requirements).

(3) Reasons for noncompliance. Explain why the unit, facility, or installation cannot comply with the requirements of this regulation. For waivers, show what actions have been taken, planned, or scheduled to correct the deficiencies.

(4) Detailed information. Provide detailed information on current compensatory measures.

(5) List of all waivers and exceptions currently in effect for the site. Explain why these deviations, collectively, will not establish an overall site vulnerability greater than the stated compensatory measures.

(6) Coordination. Show coordinated efforts with the affected staff agencies (PM/security officer, supporting judge advocate of the installation or activity, and supporting engineers).

(7) Commander’s evaluation of the requests. Commanders (in the chain of command) will review and endorse each waiver or exception request. The IMCOM region commanders may delegate the review and endorsement to a civilian division chief assigned to that headquarters and responsible for PS matters in the region. The CG, IMCOM may delegate the review and endorsement to a civilian division chief assigned to that headquarters and responsible for PS

matters. The ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders may delegate this authority to a division chief within the organization in the grade of O–6 or the civilian equivalent. Each chain of command’s endorsement will include comments assessing the adequacy of compensatory measures, taking into consideration the required criteria for waivers and exceptions.

i. Exceptions previously granted. Exceptions previously granted under the criteria of the previous AR 190–11 remain valid under the provisions of this regulation. Such exceptions need not be resubmitted for approval. However, such exceptions will be reviewed as indicated above.

2–5. Security of arms, ammunition, and explosives during training and aboard ships All AA&E deployed in the field for training or operational purposes will be secured at all times. Field level munitions storage area (FLMSA) will be designated by the commander and used to temporarily hold unit level munitions in a field environment to meet training requirements (for example, ammunition holding area, ammunition transfer point, or field ammunition resupply point). After firing, the FLMSA will be used to reconcile the munitions prior to turn-in to the installation ammunition supply point (ASP). The following guidelines apply:

a. Access to the FLMSA will be strictly controlled. The two-person rule will apply to Category I missiles and rockets at these locations.

b. Perimeter barriers, either temporary or permanent, must be in place to preclude unauthorized entry into the storage area.

c. Storage areas will be posted as a restricted area.

d. Armed guards will be posted at the FLMSA to control entry, to protect the AA&E, and in the event Category I missiles and rockets are stored there, to enforce the two-person rule. The guards will be equipped with a primary and alternate means of communications. At a minimum, armed guards will be checked every four hours by an individual appointed by the commander.

e. Positive measures (for example, security lighting or additional guards so that visibility between guards is maintained, and so on) will be implemented during hours of darkness or reduced visibility.

f. Accountability procedures will be established at the FLMSA to record expenditures. Inventory results will be reconciled daily until return to the installation ASP.

g. Category I missiles and rockets stored in open areas are vulnerable to theft. The commander responsible for the FLMSA should consider placing these Category I missiles and rockets in either an approved container (military van (MILVAN), shipping container (SEAVAN) (see glossary), container express (CONEX)), or in a completely enclosed storage building. The following additional PS measures apply if the container or building is used:

(1) Doors will be secured with two general field service padlocks (see glossary, under locks).

(2) Access to, or possession of, both keys to the building by one person is prohibited.

(3) A key control system will be established so that no one person will be allowed to have access to keys to installed A and B locks.

h. Commanders of units that routinely deploy for field training and live firing should consider having the supporting engineer activity construct a storage building to be used at the FLMSA. This building need not meet the minimum construction standards for Category I storage buildings in this regulation (earth covered), but should provide a degree of security necessary to enforce two-person access and provide shelter from the weather. The approval authority for construction standards will be IMCOM. A Type 2 outdoor magazine may also be used as a temporary storage structure.

2–6. Inspections and audits Security measures including theft or loss reporting and inventory and accountability procedures for AA&E will be examined during inspections and audits. The status of existing waivers and exceptions will be examined for compliance and continuing necessity.

a. The garrison commander will ensure that PS inspections are conducted per AR 190–13 for AA&E governed by this regulation. Additionally, conduct PS inspections as follows:

(1) For new AA&E storage facilities, and before and immediately after occupancy.

(2) On significant change in facility structure.

(3) After a forced entry or attempted forced entry with or without theft.

(4) When units have received an unsatisfactory rating on PS inspection, reinspection will be within six months. A copy of an unsatisfactory PS inspection concerning reserve component (RC) and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) units will be furnished to the installation commander providing logistical report. The follow-up report will include written comments to show what elements have received copies.

b. PS inspections of AA&E deployed in the field for training and operations will be conducted to ensure these items are properly protected.

c. Results of PS inspections will be briefed to the commander responsible for the security of the facility or area inspected.

d. Inventory, accountability, issue, and turn-in procedures will be included in PS inspections to ensure that the

procedures support the PS program. Supply operations below the wholesale level area are applied per AR 710–2.

Physical inventory controls at the wholesale level are established by AR 740–26.

e. Persons authorized by the commander to exchange custody of an arms storage facility will conduct a physical count of the weapons and ammunition stored therein during the custody exchange per requirements in AR 710–2.

2–7. Prohibition

a. Gun clubs and activities under the responsibility of the Director of Marksmanship are not authorized to possess or store Category I or Category II AA&E.

b. The Army National Guard (ARNG) and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) are not permitted to permanently store operational quantities of Category I AA&E.

(1) The ARNG and USAR are authorized to temporarily store training quantities of Category I AA&E at ASP for training of ARNG and USAR units provided the ASP meets all requirements for Category I storage in chapter 5 of this regulation.

(2) Additionally, ARNG and USAR units are authorized temporary custody (not to exceed 14 days) of Category I AA&E for training on military installations. Storage requirements in paragraph 2–5, above, and transportation require-ments in paragraph 7–10 of this regulation, will be strictly adhered.

c. The ROTC/Junior ROTC units are not authorized to possess or store Category I AA&E. With the exception of Norwich University, Virginia Military Institute, Texas A&M University, the Citadel, and North Georgia College, ROTC units are not authorized to permanently possess or store Category II AA&E.

(1) The ROTC units may retain temporary (overnight/weekend) custody of AA&E for training purposes. This temporary custody will not exceed 72 hours. Chapter 4 of this regulation–PS measures will be adhered.

(2) The ROTC units may use Category II weapons for familiarization training and field training exercises or marksmanship, on or off a military reservation. Active Army and RC units and installations are encouraged to provide support to ROTC units when requested.

2–8. Requisition The HQDA will establish procedures for item managers to ensure necessary requisition verification of AA&E items.

Commanders will include instructions to ensure AA&E requisitions are authorized by designated personnel and released only to properly identified authorized personnel. The procedures will include positive steps for rejecting excess and unauthorized requisitions (see AR 710–2 for policy on requisitioning).

2–9. Investigations A thorough investigation will be made of lost, stolen, or missing AA&E to determine the circumstances surrounding the loss or theft and to fix responsibility as necessary. Inventory and accountability losses will be investigated thoroughly. Before any loss can be attributed to any inventory or accountability discrepancy, it must be determined through investigation that the loss was not the result of theft or wrongful appropriation per AR 735–5.

a. Guidance on actions to be taken. Active Army and RC commanders, or their designated representatives (having direct responsibility for AA&E that is lost, stolen, or missing), or the receiving unit or agency will—

(1) Notify the supporting military LEA or security office as soon as the incident is discovered. The notice will be as complete as possible, but will not be delayed because of incomplete data. The USAR will notify the military law enforcement activity responsible for the geographical area. In the continental United States (CONUS), this notice will include the proper Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) field office having area jurisdiction. Civil authorities in overseas areas will be notified according to local policy.

(2) Conduct a preliminary investigation when sensitive AA&E are reported lost by the USACIDC to determine criminality, before beginning any administrative action (see para 1–12 of this regulation).

(3) Start administrative action per AR 735–5, if the USACIDC investigation determines a crime was not committed.

The report of survey or equal procedures will not be used as a disciplinary or punitive measure. The use of this administrative procedure will not prevent recourse to disciplinary measures when proper.

(4) Determine accountability for recovered property per AR 735–5. A person may be held responsible and be required to pay for a loss. If so, they will not be allowed to claim title or obtain ownership of the item if it is recovered.

(5) Consider relative investigative findings in violation of this or other applicable regulations.
