A layered system of barriers to delay terrorist intruders, provide
physical and psychological boundaries which establish perimeter
boundary control, exterior security control, and building level
security systems to protect personnel and to comply with quality of
life standards.
Requirements for control of vehicle access and egress from the
facility using any combination of barriers, gates, electronic security
equipment, signage, and/or guards that can deny entry to
unauthorized vehicles.
Designation of separate entrances for deliveries, visitors, and
resident vehicles.
Requirements for control of pedestrian access to entrances and
exits.
Use of a mass notification system for emergency and evacuation
information.
Provision of security lighting systems for the facility perimeter and
parking areas.
Multi-story high-rise construction: Buildings three or more stories
requires a design to resist progressive collapse.
Controlling access underneath, on top of, and physically adjacent to
facilities.

Exposure to Exterior Explosive Attack. Facilities should avoid
facing main building entrances directly or broadly onto adjacent roads, parking,
or vulnerable areas. Minimize windows and other openings (fenestration) in
exterior facades. Any building or portion of building in which 11 or more
unaccompanied DoD personnel are routinely housed requires a minimum of 6-
mm (1/4-in) nominal laminated glass for all exterior windows and glazed doors.
Design to prevent progressive collapse for buildings 3 or more stories. Arrange
rooms on a single corridor to overlook a protected courtyard. Focus primary
windows and openings onto protected, less vulnerable areas. Detailed selection,
analysis, and cost criteria are provided in MIL-HDBK-1013/12, Evaluation and
Selection Analysis of Security Glazing for Protection Against Ballistic, Bomb, and
Forced Entry Tactics.
2-21.3
Secure Barracks Design of High Risk Projects. When the risk
analysis and vulnerability assessment (RAVA) of a new project identifies that a
serious threat exists as defined by the guidelines of OPNAVINST 5530.14C and
MCO 5530.14, the project must incorporate the following minimum design
features of Secure Barracks Design. Additional features are likely to be required.
