ECF USE CLASSIFICATIONS
ECFs are classified based on the intended function and anticipated usage of the ECF.
The four "use" classifications are outlined in Table 3-1. The use classification is a
function of the type of traffic, hours of operation, and FPCON considerations.

ECF FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION
An ECF can have many functions. Not all functions are required at every ECF.

classification, and land area. Functions may change to meet the demands of higher
FPCON levels. The basic functions associated with an ECF are:
Processing visitors
Vehicle ID checks
