CHAPTER 2
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-2 (3) Action taken in response to the alarm and final adjudication.
d. Sensors, related equipment and signal transmission line must be protected from tampering. This may be provided by the sensors themselves, equipment boxes with tamper alarms and electronic line supervision. Electronic line supervision will entail a polling or multiplexing system or equivalent. Visible transmission lines must be inspected monthly and the inspection documented by the owner or user. Documentation will include date and time of check, status and the name and initials of person who conducted the check. These records will be kept for 3 year in active service. If line supervision is unavailable, two independent means of alarm signal transmission to the monitoring location must be provided and any visible lines must be inspected weekly. Where possible, one of the two independent means of alarm signal transmission should be a secure wireless link. The dual transmission equipment must continuously monitor the integrity of communications links. Wireless links must be protected, at a minimum, by means specified in Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, May 25, 2016.
Note: IDS that transmits alarm signals over a shared network, such as a local area network, wide area network, public switched telephone network or the internet must have a firewall or like equipment which will allow data transfers only between IDS components. Also, the alarm monitoring location must receive immediate notification if the network fails and alarm activations must be recorded locally so that all information can be obtained and reviewed once network operation is restored.
e. Ensure qualified, trustworthy personnel are used to install, inspect and maintain IDS and restrict access to schematics which show types and locations of key components of IDS. Maintenance may be by military, civil service or contractor personnel, including personnel employed by the IDS vendor. All maintenance personnel must be escorted into AA&E spaces.
f. Provide protected, backup, independent power of at least 8 hours (4 hours afloat).
g. To provide for controlled entry by authorized personnel, telephone communication between an alarm control center and alarmed zones should be considered as an adjunct to the IDS.
h. IDS systems must be tested upon installation and monthly (quarterly afloat) thereafter to ensure proper functioning of the system and components. For bulk storage areas (e.g., depots, weapons stations), such checks must be performed at least quarterly.
(1) Tests must include "walk" testing of each volumetric sensor as well as testing point sensors and duress switches. Keep records of IDS tests per table 1-2; they must contain the dates of the tests, names of persons performing the tests, results and any corrective action taken. Also, test temporary interruption of alternating current (AC) power to ensure proper automatic transfer
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-3 to backup battery power, correct functioning on battery power, audible and visual annunciation of the transfer and correct transfer back to AC power.
(2) Perform periodic unannounced openings of facilities at least annually to set off an alarm so that alarm monitor and response force reactions and procedures can be exercised and evaluated. Ensure results are entered in daily logbook.
i. An anti-intrusion barrier (AIB) must be installed as an IDS component on all SRC I and II ammunition and explosives storage facility active doors equipped with high security padlocks and hasps (for land based applications only). An AIB should also be installed on armory active doors if the AIB is compatible with the door and locking system. Large sliding door magazines may utilize a Universal Security System Model Naval Ammunition Production Engineering Center (NAPEC) 1332 in lieu of the AIB and hasp combination. If an internal locking device (ILD) is used as the magazine locking system and its IDS feature is installed, the AIB is not required. An AIB is not required for Golan and Nabco type containers due to incompatibility with the door type. However, IDS or constant surveillance is required for SRC I and II material.
j. For armories, IDS is required unless the armory is continuously manned or under constant surveillance. IDS will include point sensors on all doors and other man-passable openings, area (or volumetric) sensors covering the interior and duress alarms.
k. Protect SRC I and II storage facilities ashore with IDS unless they are continuously manned or under constant surveillance. IDS will include point sensors on all doors and other man-passable openings and area (or volumetric) sensors covering the interior. IDS for SRC III and IV storage facilities is not required; however, if IDS is used, security checks of these facilities may be eliminated.
3. Storage Facilities Ashore.
a. Structures. Fixed armories and magazines will be built to the security construction standards of reference (o). Existing AA&E facilities should meet or exceed a minimum of 10 minute resistance to forced entry against an unlimited supply of hand and battery-operated tools. Note: New construction, major renovations or use of existing facilities not previously storing arms, other than approved GSA approved containers, vaults, Type II magazines and Type II armories, built at AA&E facilities and installations must be constructed according to references (a), (b) and (o). New facility construction design must provide a minimum of 10 minute resistance to forced entry against an unlimited supply of hand tools or battery-operated tools. Structural upgrades to existing facilities and new construction for AA&E storage facilities must provide 10 minutes of forced entry delay against medium threat level as defined in reference (o). The structures identified in subparagraphs 3a(1) through 3a(3) are acceptable:
(1) DoD approved Earth Covered Magazines https://www.wbdg.org/building- types/ammunition-explosive-magazines/ecm-approved-new-construction.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-4 (2) Prefabricated type II magazines as specified in NAVFAC EXWC Technical Data Sheets (TDS)-2078-SHR (formerly TDS 82-12). SRC I and II material may be stored in a Type II magazine if IDS is added.
(3) GSA approved modular vaults meeting the requirements of Federal Specification AA- V-2737 Modular Vault Systems, 25 April 1990
b. Doors.
(1) Magazine Doors. New fixed-magazine doors will be constructed to meet the requirements of Table 16 in reference (o). Existing fixed magazine doors must be constructed with a 3/8” steel plate or combined thickness of outside and inside surfaces of at least 3/8” steel or otherwise hardened to meet a 10 minute forced entry delay against an unlimited supply of hand tools or battery-operated tools per reference (o). Note: The use of ILD should be considered for installation and use in new construction and major renovations of magazines storing SRC I and SRC II A&E as necessary to ensure protection is afforded to the level of threat and SRC.
(2) Armory doors. Armory doors may be either a GSA approved Class 5 weapons vault door or:
(a) A fabricated door with at least 2 inches of hardwood with a 1/4" thick steel plate on the outside face.
(b) A fabricated door with a 3/8-inch-thick steel plate or combined thickness of outside and inside surfaces of at least 3/8-inch steel. Note: Existing armory doors meeting the requirement of 1-3/4-inch-thick wood with 12-gauge steel plate on the outside face or a standard 1-3/4-inch-thick, hollow metal, industrial-type construction with minimum 14-gauge skin plate thickness internally reinforced vertically with continuous steel stiffeners spaced 6 inches maximum on center can still be used. However new or replacement doors must be upgraded to the requirement of this paragraph. When armories are issue points for small arms and ammunition the armory door must be equipped with a day gate. Day gates are used to separate restricted arms storage areas from common spaces during normal operating hours. The day gate must be equipped with a weapons issue point. The size of the weapons issue point must be held to an operational minimum (typically 190 square inches or less) as required to accommodate standard issue items. A dutch-style door may be used for the day gate. The top half of the door should include a standard weapons issue point and the top half of the door can be opened to issue larger weapons and ancillary equipment that will not fit through the issue point. The top half of the door must be securable from the inside with a deadbolt or other locking device to prevent access to the armory from the outside. When not in use, issue ports will be secured with material comparable to that forming the adjacent walls.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-5 (3) Large doors for vehicle access to large bays will be hardened per reference (o). The installation and use of rollup type doors should be discouraged and is not approved for new construction. When rollup type doors are installed (existing construction), AA&E must be protected by IDS and an OPNAV N41 approved security exception must be obtained.
(4) Door bucks, frames and keepers will be rigidly anchored and provided with anti- spread space filler reinforcement to prevent disengagement of the lock bolt by prying or jacking the door frame. Frames and locks for doors will be designed and installed to prevent sufficient removal of the frame facing or the built-in locking mechanism to allow disengagement of the lock bolt from outside.
(5) Door frame and threshold construction will be as exacting as the doors themselves. For example, where metal doors are used, the frame and thresholds must also be metal.
(6) Door hinges will be strong enough to withstand constant use and the weight of the doors. They will be located on the inside where possible and will be of the fixed pin security hinge type or equivalent. Exterior doors with exposed hinges (usually out-swinging) will be provided with at least two supplemental brackets, pins or other devices to prevent opening the door by destroying the hinge or removing the hinge pin. Such devices must be of sufficient positive engagement and resistance to shearing force to prevent opening the door from the hinge side.
c. Windows and Other Openings. Windows, ducts, vents or similar openings of 96 square inches or more with the least dimension over 6 inches will be sealed with material comparable to that of the adjacent walls, see reference (o) for guidance.
4. Construction Exemptions.
a. Containers. On a military installation or ship, small quantities of arms may be stored in a GSA approved Class 5 weapons container or a weapons locker with a GSA approved lock meeting the requirements of reference (p) for mechanical locks or (q) for electromechanical locks providing forced entry protection as approved by Federal Specifications AA-F-363D Filing Cabinet, Security, Maps and Plans, General Filing and Storage, 1 December 1990 for filing cabinets or Federal Specification AA-C-2859A Cabinet, Security, Weapons Storage, 20 April 2007 for weapons storage cabinets. The container must be under continuous surveillance or protected by IDS which includes a volumetric sensor and the facility checked by a security patrol at least once every 24 hours. Containers weighing less than 500 pounds (empty weight) must be secured to the structure. This can also be accomplished with chains secured with bolts or low security padlocks (spot weld, peen or otherwise secure the bolts). Empty safes that are over 500 pounds are not required to be bolted or secured to the structure. Chains will be heavy duty hardened steel or welded, straight link, galvanized steel, of at least 5/16-inch thickness or equivalent. An example of an equivalent chain is type 1, grade C, class 4, national stock number
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-6 (NSN) 4010-00-149-5583, NSN 4010-00-184-3476, or NSN 4010-00-323-4460. Where such fastenings impede operational requirements, the facility manager may waive this requirement.
(1) When securing GSA approved filing cabinets or security containers there must be no unauthorized modifications to the container (i.e. welding, drilling or other methods that would alter the structural integrity of the container). Any modification of a container not per FED-STD 809D, Inspection, Maintenance, Neutralization and Repair of GSA Approved Containers and Vault Doors, 4 April 2018 will invalidate the GSA approval and the GSA approval label must be removed.
(2) GSA approved Class 5 and 6 containers used aboard ships must be securely mounted per manufacturer instructions to avoid causing damage or injuries. An approved Shipboard Mounting System for GSA approved Class 5 and 6 Containers is specified in NAVFAC EXWC TDS-2096-SHR, Shipboard Mounting System for GSA Approved Class 5 and 6 Containers, April 2008 b. Existing Substandard Facilities on a Military Installation. Existing substandard facilities (those constructed prior to 18 December 1981 and used continuously as an armory) located on a military installation may continue to be used if determined to be adequate by NOSSA. This manual's requirements for arms racks, storage containers, security lighting, IDS, keys and locks must be met. During non-duty hours facilities must be checked by a security patrol at irregular intervals not exceeding 8 hours.
c. Ready-For-Issue (RFI). Arms and ammunition may be stored together only for security personnel or response personnel. Security force RFI AA&E storage areas are not required to have a high security locking device, IDS, an AIB or meet construction standards provided all of the conditions identified in subparagraphs 4.c.(1) through 4.c.(5) are met:
(1) Only the minimum amount of weapons and ammunition necessary, as determined by established force protection requirements for the command are stored in the RFI and they are kept in a locked container, standard or locally-made arms rack or area. Storage of noncombat expenditure allocation in the RFI is prohibited.
(2) An armed guard or a watch stander with communication equipment to summon assistance, is within sight of the storage container or area at all times.
(3) The guard or watch stander’s other duties, such as monitoring alarms, must not interfere with the ability to control access to the weapons.
(4) The weapon’s storage container or area is inventoried at each change of watch or whenever the container is opened.
(5) Access to the area is strictly limited.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-7 d. Aircraft egress explosive devices, survival kits and flight gear pyrotechnic munitions classified as HC/D 1.3 and 1.4, can be stored as detailed in subparagraphs 4d(1) through 4d(4) in lieu of normal AA&E storage and construction standards if the area is protected by access control and checked by security forces at least every 24 hours.
(1) Walls, Floor and Roof. The walls, floor and roof construction must be of permanent construction materials; i.e. plaster, gypsum wallboard, metal panels, hardboard, wood, plywood or other materials offering resistance to and evidence of unauthorized entry into the area. Walls must be extended to the true ceiling with permanent construction materials, wire mesh or 18- gauge expanded steel screen.
(2) Ceiling. The ceiling must be constructed of plaster, gypsum, wallboard material, hardwood or any other acceptable material.
(3) Doors. The access door to the room must be substantially constructed of wood or metal and be equipped with a built-in GSA approved combination lock meeting the requirements of reference (p) for mechanical locks or (q) for electromechanical locks or a high security padlock and hasp meeting the requirements of appendix C Tables C-1 through C-3. Exterior doors with exposed hinges (usually out-swinging) will be provided with at least two supplemental brackets, pins or other devices to prevent opening the door by destroying the hinge or removing the hinge pin. Doors other than the access door must be secured from the inside by a deadbolt lock, panic deadbolt lock or by other means that will prevent entry from the outside.
(4) Openings. Utility openings, ducts, vents, windows, etc. must be kept less than man- passable (96 square inches). Openings larger than 96 square inches must be hardened per reference (o).
e. Do not tear down and rebuild facilities unless security measures cannot be improved to provide the required degree of protection. Exceptions allowing nonstandard conditions may be granted by OPNAV N41 via table 1-1. The goal for structurally secure facilities is to provide at least 10 minutes’ resistance to forced entry.
5. Security Lighting. Exterior building and door lighting must be provided for all areas and structures storing SRC I and II AA&E items. Lighting must provide a minimum of 0.2 foot- candles (2 lux) illumination measured on the horizontal plane at ground level and be sufficient to allow detection of unauthorized activity. Emergency lighting and standby power are not required, but should be considered when threat and vulnerability warrant. Switches for exterior lights must be installed in such a manner that they are accessible only to authorized individuals.
6. Fences. SRC I and II AE storage areas must be fenced; follow the guidelines in reference (a) and (r) for construction standards. Per reference (a) all security and perimeter fencing must have a minimum fence fabric height of 6 feet, excluding the top guard and outrigger. All new fence installations or replacement of existing fences must have a minimum fence fabric height of 7
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-8 feet, excluding top guard and outrigger per reference (r) and have the bottom of the fence extended 2 inches into the ground per reference (a). Repairs or modifications to existing fences do not need to meet the requirement to extend into the ground per reference (a) and fence fabric height criteria of reference (r). Surfaces will be stabilized in areas where loose sand, shifting soils or surface waters may cause erosion and thereby assist an intruder in penetrating the area. Where surface stabilization is not possible or is impracticable, concrete curbs, sills or other similar type anchoring devices, extending below ground level will be provided. Hinge pins must be peened, welded or otherwise secured. The perimeter fence must have the minimum number of vehicular and pedestrian gates, based on operational requirements. Unless continuously guarded, gates must be secured with chains per Federal Specification RR-C-271G, Chains and Attachments, Carbon and Alloy Steel, 28 March 2016 or equivalent chain. Chains must be secured with a general field service padlock per reference (s). When the gate is open or unsecured, the padlock will be locked to the staple, fence fabric or other nearby securing point. Padlocks used to secure gates may be keyed-alike.
a. Clear Zones. Clear zones are areas established around the fence to provide an unobstructed view to enhance detection and assessment of potential threats. Per reference (a), clear zones must be established to extend a minimum of 20 feet on the outside and 30 feet on the inside for all AE storage areas (or to the maximum extent within available land space if minimum requirements cannot be met).
7. Communications. Storage areas must have a primary and backup means of communications that permit notification of emergency conditions. The backup system must be a different mode than the primary. Radio may be one of the modes of communication. The communication system must be tested with results documented daily.
8. Storage in Naval Vehicles, Aircraft and Small Craft. When operational readiness is impeded by storage of arms in armories, arms may be stored in the small craft, vehicle, trailers or aircraft to which assigned or in other configurations required by operational or training requirements provided constant surveillance of items is established and retained. Security may consist of armed guards at entry and exit points, a roving patrol inside a holding yard or area or coverage by CCTV systems, but CCTV will not negate the requirement for guards or roving patrols unless it is used in conjunction with another access control or IDS technology. When arms are an integral part of or permanently mounted and are not man-portable or easily removed, then normal security procedures for the small craft, vehicle, trailers, or aircraft will apply.
9. Security Standards for Secure Holding Areas for AA&E on an Installation or Contractor Facility.
a. Minimum physical security standards for placing SRC III and IV and CAT-U HC/D 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 AA&E into the secure holding area on DoD installations or DoD contractor facilities are identified in subparagraphs 9a through 9i:
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-9 (1) Incorporate the secure holding area into the comprehensive facility security plan, approved by the Installation CO or facility director and revalidated by periodic scheduled and no-notice inspections as detailed in the plan. Include a detailed security diagram of the secure holding area showing controlled and restricted areas, security force locations and locations of IDS and CCTV, as appropriate. Address the specifics as to the area's implementation of the standards identified in subparagraphs 9a(1)(a) through 9i. Components include:
(a) Access control.
(b) Guard force standards, qualification, training, equipment.
(c) Perimeter fencing.
(d) Lighting.
(2) Barriers at entry control points, e.g., jersey concrete barriers, etc. for FPCON Charlie and Delta.
(3) Key and lock control.
(4) Emergency communications.
(5) Emergency power.
(6) Emergency response forces.
(7) Response plan for terrorism and criminal threats or other emergencies.
(8) The facility security plan must also consider options to temporarily protect DoD AA&E shipments requiring access onto a Navy installation when the sited secure holding area is not available due to explosive safety quantity-distance (ESQD) limitations. Each facility must identify alternative sites within their installation in which a DoD AA&E shipment could be temporarily secured. These sites should be located within areas that provide a level of security, as well as minimizes exposure to public safety and to base personnel.
b. General. AA&E will be afforded double barrier protection. Secure holding areas will be access controlled and be within an area surrounded by a perimeter fence to limit access (perimeter fence may be the installation or facility boundary fence). For situations in which the guard does not have direct unobstructed view of the entire secure holding area, it will have an IDS or CCTV system to provide added security.
c. Warning Signs. Warning signs will be posted for the secure holding area where they can be easily seen and understood by anyone approaching it. In areas where English is one of the
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-10 two or more languages commonly spoken, warning signs will contain the local language in addition to English. The wording of the signs will denote warning of a restricted area. Warning signs will be posted in intervals not to exceed 100 feet.
d. Access Control. The installation CO or facility director will establish strict personnel and vehicle access measures for the secure holding area. Procedures will be per Service security regulations.
e. Fencing. Where used to delineate a secure holding area, all fencing will be per chapter 2 paragraph 6 of this instruction.
f. Security Lighting. Protective lighting will be provided to discourage or deter attempts by intruders, make detection likely if entry is attempted and prevent glare that may temporarily blind guards. Security lighting will be automatically timed and controlled to provide illumination from dusk until dawn. Lighting will not unnecessarily expose or silhouette guards or other personnel to targeting by criminal and terrorist elements. Lighting will illuminate the area beyond the perimeter to the outer edge of the clear zone extending 25 feet beyond the secure holding area. The installation CO or facility director will ensure a professional lighting survey is conducted for each facility and a lighting plan will be approved by the CO or facility director as a part of the overall plan.
g. Power. Primary and alternate power sources will be identified. The primary source may be installation power or a local public utility. An alternate source will be provided to start automatically upon failure of the primary power, adequate to power the entire lighting system. It will be equipped with adequate fuel storage and supply, be periodically tested under load to ensure effectiveness and located within a controlled area for additional security. All electrical cabling and telephone lines within 10 feet of the ground will be encased in metal conduit to preclude lines from being manipulated or cut.
h. Communications. Communications will provide a means of alerting local law enforcement or emergency response forces to the presence of intruders immediately. The area manager will identify and coordinate with the backup force capability. The area will have a duress system that is linked to the security force to report emergencies.
i. Guards. The guards will be professionals, normally members of an existing installation or facility security force. They will be aware of the location and nature of classified, hazardous and sensitive equipment or material in the holding yard or area. Security force personnel will be provided with equipment necessary to accomplish the security mission. Guards will have a direct communications link to either their headquarters or commercial security service dispatcher at all times in case of emergency. Hourly communications checks will be performed after normal working hours. Additionally, they will be provided with a reliable secondary means of communication when conducting security checks or patrols of the surroundings.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
2-11 j. Additional Minimum Physical Security Standards for Secure Holding of SRC I and II AA&E:
(1) Dedicated, 24 hour surveillance by a guard, IDS with integrated CCTV monitoring will be expanded to include the secure holding area.
(2) Vehicle undercarriage inspections will be performed on all inbound traffic entering the secure holding area, if not already checked as a part of installation entry procedures.
(3) Coordination will be made with local, county or State law enforcement to provide additional security, including back-up forces, during higher FPCONs, as required.
k. Protection for Classified Shipments. Classified secret shipments will be afforded the same physical security protection as for SRC I and II AA&E. Classified confidential or controlled cryptographic information shipments will be provided the same security as SRC III, IV, CAT-U HC/D 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 AA&E.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
3-1 CHAPTER 3 GENERAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
1. General. This chapter prescribes general security requirements for all U.S. Navy ship and shore activities which are responsible for the storage and safeguarding of AA&E. Additional guidance specific for ships is provided in chapter 5 of this manual.
2. Security Forces.
a. An armed response force must be able to respond within 15 minutes of an alarm or report of intrusion in AA&E storage areas. Further, they must know response priorities by structure for key areas and critical AA&E.
b. Entry and exit points into magazines and holding yards or areas where vehicles, rail cars, or aircraft with missiles, rockets, ammunition or explosives are parked must be controlled by guards or working party personnel. When guards or working party personnel are not present or IDS or CCTV are not used, security patrols must physically inspect each aircraft, rail car or vehicle at a frequency based on the highest SRC of AA&E present and the threat (see appendix B). CCTV will not negate the requirement for guards, roving patrols or constant surveillance, unless used in conjunction with another access control or IDS technology.
c. An armed security patrol will periodically check facilities and areas storing AA&E, as prescribed in this chapter and appendix B. Increase these checks if warranted by increased threat or vulnerability. Conduct checks with irregular timing to avoid establishing a predictable pattern. Note that SRC III and IV storage facilities protected with IDS do not require patrols unless specifically identified in appendix B.
d. Guard checks must include physical checks of all doors, locks and windows. Record guard checks and keep the records per table 1-2.
e. Maintain written guard procedures and keep procedures covering emergencies and command notification requirements at security posts. Review them semiannually and revise them as necessary to emphasize intelligent placement of guard posts and mobile patrols and orientation of guards concerning their duties.
f. Security patrols may be conducted by military, civil service or contractor personnel, United States Marmust's Service, State, local or campus law enforcement authorities as appropriate. Where AA&E is stored off military installations in civilian communities and where security checks cannot be conducted by DoD personnel due to legal or operational considerations, liaison must be established with local law enforcement or host nation authorities to ensure that non-duty hour checks are conducted by the local police or host nation authorities.
