CHAPTER 1
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-2 (6) Commercially procured SRC III and IV AA&E while at a commercial production facility, however, when such items are placed in transit to a DoD activity, all pertinent requirements of chapter 6, Transportation apply.
d. The criteria in this manual are intended for sites where AA&E is maintained on a permanent basis during daily peacetime conditions, not for operations such as wartime, force generations, forward based exercises, or operational readiness inspections. This paragraph does not alleviate accountable personnel from their responsibility to safeguard AA&E assets under their control. For sites not specifically covered in this instruction and expeditionary environments, commands will establish procedures to protect AA&E consistent with the intent of this manual.
e. This manual does not authorize actions inconsistent with explosives safety standards in references listed in appendix A.
f. The requirements in this manual that use the commands “must” or “will” are mandatory unless they are specifically waived or excepted by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) per the provisions provided in references (d) and (e). Advisory requirements that use the command “may” or “should” are strongly recommended.
2. Policy
a. Individuals issued or in possession of AA&E are responsible for its security.
b. Installation physical security plans must address the protection of AA&E. The host installation or activity must assume responsibility for coordinating AA&E protective measures for all tenants. The purpose of such coordination is to ensure effective planning for security requirements and minimize duplication of effort.
c. Consolidate AA&E in as compact an area possible to minimize the cost of physical security and inventory control and to reduce theft vulnerability. Remove AA&E from secure storage areas for as short a time as possible and in as small a quantity as practical. Segregate AA&E by SRC and provide the different levels of protection appropriate for each SRC. SRC I and II should be consolidated into as few storage facilities as is practical to minimize the need for additional fencing, lighting and intrusion detection systems (IDS). Demilitarize or dispose of obsolete and unserviceable AA&E to avoid unnecessary storage, security and inventory costs.
3. Roles and Responsibilities
a. Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). Director, Logistics – Supply Chain Operations Division (OPNAV N41) will oversee management and coordination of the Navy AA&E Physical Security Program and will:

(6) Advise the responsible DSS industrial security office of actions taken by contractors, subcontractors, government procuring officers or government contract administration officers, in response to DSS AA&E inspection deficiencies and recommendations.
4. Planning.
a. Installation and tenant commands will plan for effective use of security, tailored to local needs. Factors that must be considered include:
(1) Annual local threat or vulnerability assessments prepared by the installation or facility, including information from local law enforcement agencies, Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and Defense Intelligence Agency.
(2) Vulnerability of AA&E to theft or loss.
(3) Location, size and vulnerability of storage and production facilities, including theft by employees.
(4) Geographic location.
(5) Availability and responsiveness of the security force.
(6) Level of protection provided by:
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-6 (a) Physical security protection measures.
(b) Security forces.
(c) Security in depth and integrated security.
(d) Facility construction.
(7) Impact on mission capability.
b. Also, consider physical security protective measures such as perimeter barriers, security lighting, communications, key and lock controls, facility construction, structurally secure storage buildings, personnel and vehicular entry control, administrative inspections at entry and exit points, security training programs, IDS and closed circuit television (CCTV).
c. Prepare contingency plans for increased physical security measures for AA&E storage areas during periods of increased vulnerability such as natural disasters, national emergencies, civil uprisings or periods of increased threat from terrorists or criminal elements. Contingency plans must include provisions for increasing the physical security measures for storage areas commensurate with the local commander’s assessment of the threat and situation.
d. Coordinate with adjacent installations or units; federal, state and local agencies; and similar host country agencies to obtain intelligence, information on security measures being employed, contingency plans and any other information to enhance local security.
e. On an installation, the host activity will assume responsibilities for coordinating the physical security of all tenants, regardless of DoD component represented, as outlined in support agreements and installation security plans. The purpose of such coordination is to ensure effective planning for security requirements. Authority, jurisdiction and responsibility will be set forth in a manner that ensures protection and avoids duplication of effort. Note: Barriers and locks are merely delay devices; they must be supported by means to detect and quickly react to an attempted intrusion.
5. Waivers and Exceptions
a. General Requirements. Whenever the mandatory security requirements of this manual cannot be met, commands must submit a request for a waiver or exception per table 1-1. Waivers and exceptions will be considered only after all avenues for compliance have been exhausted. Approval of waivers and exceptions does not relieve CO or OIC of the responsibility to maintain security through the use of approved compensatory security measures.
b. Deficiencies that will be corrected within 90 days do not require a waiver or exception; however, compensatory measures must be implemented during the interim. For those
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-7 deficiencies that cannot be corrected within 90 days, a request for a waiver or exception must be submitted per this manual.
c. Blanket waivers and exceptions are not authorized.
d. Waivers and exceptions are self-cancelling on the expiration dates stated in the approval letters unless OPNAV N41 approves extensions. Cancellations do not require OPNAV N41 approval, but NOSSA and Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) Code CI8 should be notified.
e. All existing AA&E permanent exceptions to earlier editions of this manual are rescinded 3 years after the date of this manual unless notification is provided to OPNAV N41 and NOSSA with verification that:
(1) The need for the original exception still exists.
(2) All required compensatory measures are still in force.
f. All waiver and exception requests containing classified information must contain the required security classification markings per reference (c).
g. Submission of Waivers and Exceptions.
(1) Forward requests for waivers (12 months or less) and exceptions (3 years) to deviate from specific AA&E security requirements per table 1-1. Requests must completely describe the difficulty with a specific requirement and the intended compensatory measures.
(2) Waiver requests for classified AA&E will be submitted via chain of command (CoC) to OPNAV N41 via appropriate classified method.
(3) For AA&E SRC I items, ships will request waivers and exceptions via CoC to OPNAV N41, with a copy to NOSSA and NAVFAC EXWC (Code CI8).
(4) A 12 month extension to a previously approved waiver may be requested via CoC and approved by OPNAV N41. Afterwards, the waiver must be processed as an exception.
(5) Fleet Commands will provide copies of approved waiver and exceptions to NOSSA NAVFAC EXWC and call attention (ATTN) to the appropriate code.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-8 Commanding Officer Commanding Officer ATTN: N9E ATTN: Code CI8 NOSSA NAVFAC EXWC 3817 Strauss Ave, Suite 108 1100 23rd Avenue Indian Head, MD 20640-5151 Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4370
(6) Waiver and exception requests involving commercial transport of AA&E must be coordinated with the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). Copies of approved waivers or exceptions that apply to commercial carrier transportation minimum security standards, together with compensatory measures taken, will be forwarded to:
Commander Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command ATTN: AMSSD-SBI-BP 1 Soldier Way, Scott AFB, IL 62225
h. Preparation of Waivers and Exceptions. Requests for waivers and exceptions must include the information identified in subparagraphs 5h(1) through 5h(9):
(1) Waiver or Exception number. (e.g. N01234-W01-19)
(a) The first six digits, beginning with the letter “N” for Navy represent the unit identification code of the activity initiating the request.
(b) The next digit is either “W” for waiver or “E” for exception.
(c) The next two digits represent the serial number of the request, beginning annually on 1 January with 01. Waiver and exception numbers will run sequentially together (e.g., W01- 08 followed by E02-08, then E03-08, W04-08, etc.). This method allows activities in the reviewing CoC to exercise their discretion to change an exception request to a waiver request and vice versa, without having to re-coordinate the number with the requesting activity.
(d) Original numbers assigned exceptions and waivers will be used when requesting exception or waiver extensions.
(e) The last two digits identify the calendar year of the request.
(2) Requirement, including reference, which cannot be met.
(3) Description of conditions preventing requirement from being met.
(4) Physical location of affected building or area, including SRC of AA&E.
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-9 (5) Compensatory measures in place or planned.
(6) Impact on mission if request is not approved.
(7) Resources and cost estimate to correct the deficiency.
(8) Actions initiated or planned, including plan of actions and milestones to correct the deficiency.
(9) Point of contact (name, rank or grade, phone number and e-mail). Note: Drawings, maps photographs and any other pertinent supporting documentation should also be included to assist in the review and approval process. Security classification of the request must be per DoD Antiterrorism Program and Force Protection Condition (FPCON) System Security Classification Guide, 12 December 2018. Classified requests, including all appropriate endorsements identified in table 1-1, must be submitted via SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network.
Ashore Afloat Originating command (tenant must obtain installation approval) Originating command Region (if appropriate) Type Commander Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Headquarters (as appropriate) Fleet Representative – United States Fleet Forces or Commander Pacific Fleet (as appropriate) NOSSA NOSSA OPNAV N41 OPNAV N41 Table 1-1 Waiver and Exception Request Process.
i. Compensatory Measures.
(1) Compensatory measures are required for each deviation in effect. A single compensatory measure may be applied to more than one deviation.
(2) Acceptable compensatory measures must mitigate or compensate for vulnerabilities created by the inability to achieve a minimum physical security standard.
(3) Compensatory measures must be designed to compensate for the specific vulnerability created by the deficiency and must provide an equivalent or greater level of protection as the standard for which the deviation was granted.
(4) Compensatory measures must be in addition to routine security measures already required at the site. Security forces, facilities, equipment and procedures already required and in place to meet minimum standards are not normally adequate as compensatory measures. However, use of existing DoD assets or resources in a new way to provide protection for a
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-10 deviation may constitute compensatory measures as long as their use does not create vulnerabilities in other areas.
(5) Instructions consisting of non-specific orders such as “increase vigilance” are inadequate as compensatory measures.
(6) Compensatory measures must be implemented upon detection of a vulnerability and must not be delayed pending consideration of a deviation request.
j. Review and Approval of Deviation Requests.
(1) The approving authority must carefully weigh all factors, to include potential value of physical security measures.
(2) The approving authority, OPNAV N41 via NOSSA must review each deviation to ensure adequate compensatory measures have been identified and can be implemented.
(3) When considering a deviation request for a particular installation or facility, the approving authority must review all other approved deviations currently in effect for that installation or facility. This review is to ensure that, collectively, the deviations do not establish an overall site vulnerability greater than the designated compensatory measures.
(4) Each deviation must be evaluated and approved on a case-by-case basis. Blanket approvals for deviations are not allowed; however, deviations affecting like items, e.g., magazine groups, ship classes or flight associated, may be considered.
k. Review of Waivers and Exceptions. Activities will review waivers and exceptions for continuing need, as well as for compliance with this manual, at least annually and during command inspections.
6. Inspections and Audits. Inspections and audits provide tools for the oversight, management and control of AA&E items. Security measures, including theft or loss reporting and inventory and accountability procedures for AA&E, will be examined during command inspections, Explosive Safety Inspections, shipboard Explosives Safety Inspections, physical security surveys, Explosives Safety Self-Assessments, Shipboard Explosives Safety Self-Assessment and other appropriate inspections and audits. The status of existing waivers and exceptions will be examined for compliance and continuing necessity.
7. Navy Reserve Officer Training Corp, Gun Club, Reserve Unit Prohibitions. Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) and Navy Junior ROTC units and gun clubs are not authorized to store SRC I and SRC II AA&E at their facilities. Navy ROTC and Navy Junior ROTC units may only possess SRC II AA&E during authorized training with active Navy components. Reserve units may not store SRC I AA&E, but may be given temporary custody (not to exceed
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-11 14 days) of SRC I AA&E for training on military installations, following specific security instructions provided by the CO of the installation.
8. Disciplinary Action. A violation of the procedures and requirements imposed under this manual by military personnel is punishable per the Uniform Code of Military Justice and is the basis for disciplinary action with respect to civilian employees.
9. Personnel Screening
a. Activities must be selective in assigning personnel to duties involving control of or unescorted access to AA&E (including security, inventory, supply audit and AA&E handling personnel and truck drivers transporting AA&E). Only personnel who are mature, stable and have shown a willingness and capability to perform assigned tasks in a dependable manner will be assigned duties that involve the responsibility for control, accountability and shipment of AA&E. Determination of which traits and actions are disqualifying is at the discretion of the CO. Activities will comply with the provisions of reference (a).
(1) CO or OIC will appoint in writing by name the security officer, AA&E accountability officer, AA&E officer, weapons officer, other officer or civilian (general schedule-9 equivalent or above) as the AA&E screening officer who will examine personnel records of those being screened and discuss the duties to be assigned with the individual and their supervisor. When activity manning does not provide for an officer, a senior enlisted (E-7 or above) may conduct the screening.
(2) The screening officer will maintain screening records for 12 months after transfer or termination of the person’s assignment (or 12 months after the final screening if the person is disqualified).
(3) The screening officer will re-screen personnel annually or earlier if circumstances indicate a review would be prudent.
(4) Contract personnel who are not military or DoD civilians must also be screened for reliability per this requirement if they have duties involving unescorted access or control of AA&E.
(5) Screening is valid to the last day of the twelfth month after the OPNAV 5530/1 Report of Screening for Personnel Assigned AA&E Related Duties has been signed and dated by the screening official. For example, if an individual is screened on 4 April, the screening will expire on 30 April of the following year.
b. Screenings will be conducted and documented using OPNAV 5530/1." The designated AA&E screening officer or civilian will sign and date the form. The form is available on the Navy Forms Online Web site at https://forms.documentservices.dla.mil/order/. Contractor use of
OPNAVINST 5530.13D 28 May 2021
1-12 this form is optional; however, documentation of personnel screening for employees performing AA&E related duties is required.
c. Military, civilian government employees and contractor personnel whose duties involve custody, handling, or storage of AA&E, operating or providing security for a vehicle transporting AA&E, will at a minimum, have a favorable Access National Agency Check with Written Inquiries or National Agency Check with Law and Credit investigation per references (a) and (f). Officers of U.S. flag carriers will be licensed per U.S. Coast Guard requirements.
d. Designated carrier employees providing Protective Security Service for the transportation of items classified Secret must possess a government-issued secret clearance, as provided for in reference (f) and carrier-issued identification.
e. The 1968 Gun Control Act and subsequent 1996 Lautenberg Amendment, which are codified in section 922(g) of title 18, United States Code, prohibit anyone who, among other reasons, has been convicted in any court of a crime that is punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year; has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence; or is subject to a court order finding the person to represent a credible threat to the physical state of an intimate partner or child, to ship, transport, possess or receive firearms or ammunition. The Gun Control Act as enacted and amended, contains a public interest exception for all but one of the nine disqualification categories; specifically subsection 922(g) (9), the Lautenberg Amendment, makes it a felony for anyone who has ever been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor prior to or after the passage of the September 30, 1996, law to possess firearms or ammunition. There is no exception for law enforcement and military personnel with qualifying convictions. It is illegal to provide a firearm or ammunition to anyone convicted of such a domestic violence misdemeanor. DoD policy extends this restriction to a conviction for an offense meeting the definition of a “felony crime of domestic violence” adjudged on or after November 27, 2002.
(1) COs must ensure personnel with access to firearms and ammunition as part of official duties be screened per DoDI 6400.06, Domestic Abuse Involving DoD Military and Certain Affiliated Personnel, 21 August 2007 for domestic violence convictions and have access to firearms restricted as required. Screening must be conducted using DD Form 2760 Qualification to Possess Firearms or Ammunition.
(2) Per references (a) and (g), all Navy components must post notices about the Lautenberg Amendment and the procedures for implementation in all facilities where government firearms or ammunition are stored, issued, disposed of and transported. A sample of the Lautenberg Amendment posting is located on the Navy AA&E physical security Web site at https://nossa.dc3n.navy.mil.

c. Monitor performance and reporting of all AA&E inventories.
20. Inventory Adjustments and Requisitions Verifications. When making inventory adjustments, no AA&E loss may be attributed to an accountability or inventory discrepancy unless investigation has determined that the loss was not the result of theft. To ensure their validity, requisitions for AA&E will be signed by the AA&E accountability officer before processing out of the activity. Maintain internal controls to reject excess or unauthorized requisitions.
21. Issuance and Custody Receipt for Arms. Individuals receiving sub-custody of arms (small arms, crew served weapons and man-portable hand-launched missile systems in ready-to-fire configuration) must obtain authorization from the CO or their designated representative. Sub- custody transactions include transactions where activities require the use of another activities armory or facilities to adequately stow arms per physical security requirements.

2-1 CHAPTER 2 FACILITIES SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
1. General. This chapter includes physical security requirements for all U.S. Navy activities, continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS (OCONUS), ashore and afloat, which are responsible for the storage and safeguarding of AA&E. Additional unique afloat security requirements are addressed in chapter 5. Facilities security requirements must be based on multiple factors; SRCs of AA&E, threat and risk assessments, vulnerability, facility location and resources, as a minimum, are to be considered. Further guidance is provided in reference (h) and UFC 4-021-02, Electronic Security Systems, 11 September 2019.
2. IDS.
a. Before Navy commands and non-Navy commands acquire new IDS which will be connected to a local or regional dispatch center, the IDS and system components must be approved in writing from the CNIC Attn: N3. Navy commands must submit their request via DoN Tasking, Records and Consolidated Knowledge Enterprise Repository (Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network or SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network) to CNIC N3 Front Office. Non-Navy and Non-DoD commands will submit their request for approval to email address: CNIC_N3_IDS@navy.mil or CNIC_N3_IDS@navy.smil.mil. All requests must provide full details of IDS to be purchased, detailed plans for installations and maintenance, connection required to local installation or regional dispatch centers. Requests will provide justification for the installation of the IDS, address maintenance funding budgeted in the Future Years Defense Program and a command point of contact. CNIC response will take a minimum of 30 days once a valid request is received. This applies to any IDS to be installed on CNIC installations or CNIC Special Areas.
b. IDS must include a continuously manned alarm control center where alarms annunciate and from which a response force can be dispatched. Local alarms (e.g., alarm bells located only at the protected location) are not acceptable. In civilian communities (e.g., reserve centers) arrangements must be made to connect alarms to civil police headquarters, private security companies or a central station monitoring service from which immediate response can be directed. Military, civil service or contractor personnel may monitor alarms and may be armed at the discretion of the CO.
c. Maintain a locally generated daily logbook (paper or electronic) of all AA&E storage location IDS alarms. Keep these logs per table 1-2 and review them to identify IDS reliability problems. Logs must include the details as outlined in subparagraph 2c(1) through 2c(3):
(1) Nature of the alarm (e.g., system failure, nuisance alarm, unauthorized entry or tamper)
(2) Date, time and location of alarm.
