related issues and that those policies and procedures will be incorporated into
antiterrorism plans, training, and exercises.
2-4.8
Design Criteria. It is assumed that the provisions of these standards will
be coordinated with all other applicable DoD building and design criteria and policies.
Nothing in these standards should be interpreted to supersede the provisions of any
other applicable building or design criteria. Where other criteria mandate more stringent
requirements, it is assumed that the provisions of those criteria will be followed.
2-4.9
Enhanced Fire Safety. Historic fire scenarios and fuel loadings for
various common buildings types that are the basis for requirements in building and life
safety codes are likely to be much less severe than those experienced in terrorist
attacks. Therefore, in the event of a terrorist attack, fire safety may be critical to the
survival of building occupants and limiting the extent of building damage. Fire safety
may be enhanced by designing buildings to limit the extent or severity of a fire and
providing more effective egress routes. Changes to fire safety requirements, while they
may be justifiable from an antiterrorism standpoint, are beyond the scope of these
standards.
2-4.10
Training. It is assumed that key security and facility personnel will
receive training in security engineering, antiterrorism, and related areas. Refer to the
Security Engineering Working Group web site for available training and to DoD 2000.12-
H for additional information on training issues. It is further assumed that all DoD
personnel have been trained in basic antiterrorism awareness in accordance with DoDI
2000.16, that they are able to recognize potential threats, and that they know the proper
courses of action should they detect a potential threat.
2-4.11
Expeditionary and Temporary Structures. Expeditionary and
temporary structures are commonly built of either combinations of metal frames and
fabric or wood frames and rigid walls. It is assumed that most expeditionary and
temporary structures cannot be retrofitted or hardened sufficiently for higher threats;
therefore, unless adequate planning is done to obtain the needed space to achieve
appropriate standoff, DoD personnel will be highly vulnerable to terrorist attack.
2-4.12
Leased Buildings. DoD personnel occupying leased buildings deserve
the same level of protection as those in DoD-owned buildings; therefore, they should
meet the requirements of these standards wherever possible. They must meet the
requirements when the DoD occupancy meets the criteria in these standards. The
thresholds in those criteria reflect the significance of higher populations of DoD
personnel as targets versus the inherent risk reduction associated with dispersing DoD
personnel.
