STANDARDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. Mandatory DoD minimum
antiterrorism standards for new and existing inhabited buildings are contained in
Appendix B. Additional recommended measures for new and existing inhabited
buildings are included in Appendix C. Mandatory DoD minimum antiterrorism standards
for expeditionary and temporary structures are contained in Appendix D. The standards
and recommendations in this UFC include a combination or performance and
prescriptive requirements. In many cases where there are minimum prescriptive
requirements such as standoff distance or glazing thickness, those requirements are
based on performance standards and there are generally provisions to allow those
performances to be provided through alternate means where those means will result in
equivalent levels of protection.

INTENT. The intent of these standards is to minimize the possibility of
mass casualties in buildings or portions of buildings owned, leased, privatized, or
otherwise occupied, managed, or controlled by or for DoD. These standards provide
appropriate, implementable, and enforceable measures to establish a level of protection
against terrorist attacks for all inhabited DoD buildings where no known threat of
terrorist activity currently exists. While complete protection against all potential threats
for every inhabited building is cost prohibitive, the intent of these standards can be
achieved through prudent master planning, real estate acquisition, and design and
construction practices.
