Security
It is well established that installations should focus first on threats that can be mitigated
at the first line of defense the installation perimeter. ECF and the access control they
provide are extremely important to defense-in-depth and effective risk mitigation.
The first priority of an ECF is to maintain perimeter security. The ECF:
is a part of the installation perimeter and a legal line of demarcation;
must accommodate Random Antiterrorism Measures (RAM), for sustained
operations;
must be able to operate at all FPCONs, including 100% vehicle inspections;
and
must have security features that protect against vehicle-borne threats and
illegal entry.
1-3.2
Safety
ECFs must have a working environment that is both safe and comfortable for Security
Forces personnel. Security Forces safety includes provisions for personal protection
against attack and errant drivers; consider climate, location, and orientation.
Design the ECF so that persons and vehicles entering and leaving the facility do so in a
safe and orderly manner to protect themselves, security personnel, and pedestrians
from harm.
1-3.3
Capacity
Design the ECF to maximize the flow of traffic without compromising safety, security, or
causing undue delays that may affect installation operations or off-installation public
highway users.
1-3.4
Image
Design the ECF to impart an immediate impression of professionalism and convey the
DOD's commitment to the protection and safety of DOD personnel and the security of
its facilities and resources.
