INTRODUCTION
As an ammunition officer at an ammunition storage facility, one of your most important considerations is the
protection of the stored ammunition. The only way this can be accomplished is through the use of a well-thought-
out security plan. Such a plan should take intangible factors, physical factors, security forces, inspections, and
audits into consideration.
PHYSICAL SECURITY PLANNING
DA-Level Responsibilities
Physical security responsibilities start at the DA level. The Enforcement Division, Deputy Chief of Staff for
Personnel, establishes DA policy and procedures, provides Armywide guidance, and assists in the development of
physical security equipment. The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence provides an assessment of
counterintelligence for use in physical security plans and programs. The Chief of Engineers performs a final
technical review and approval of plans and specifications for installing intrusion detection systems.
