It is important to understand the required operations and anticipated traffic volume
during all FPCONs as outlined in the Installation's AT Plan. In accordance with DOD O-
2000.12-H, the security measures employed during FPCON Bravo must be capable of
being maintained for weeks without causing undue hardship, affecting operational
capability, or aggravating relations with local authorities. Therefore, an ECF designed in
accordance with this UFC should be capable of supporting the security measures
employed during FPCON Normal, Alpha, and Bravo, including any Random
Antiterrorism Measures employed in accordance with the Installation AT Plan. For
shorter durations, the ECF should be designed to support operations at FPCONs
Charlie and Delta, which includes 100% vehicle inspections. At FPCONs Charlie and
Delta, traffic congestion is expected and can be relieved by authorizing entry to mission-
essential personnel only. Other methods of reducing traffic congestion at higher level
FPCONs involve the use of procedural rather than design elements and are not covered
here.

RANDOM ANTITERRORISM MEASURES (RAM)
Implementing RAM involves identifying at any FPCON a set of measures extracted from
higher FPCONs or specific measures prescribed by the Installation Commander to be
employed in addition to the basic FPCON measures already in place. Therefore, the
level of identification and inspection at the Entry Control Facility will vary depending on
the FPCON and the use of RAM. The RAM will be identified in the Installation AT Plan.
Each installation will have an AT Officer, who maintains the AT Plan.
RAM can include, but are not limited to:
Erection of barriers and obstacles to control traffic flow;
Vehicle, cargo, and personnel searches; and
Variations in security routines.

EXISTING DESIGN GUIDANCE
Table 2-2 provides a summary of the design guidance and criteria available for
infrastructure issues related to an ECF. Where differences exist between the
references in Table 2-2 and this UFC, the UFC governs.
