indicate that they have vehicles which require larger maneuvering
allowances.
2.4.6.2 The Tenants can provide a list of their vehicles and the
delivery vehicles they anticipate, and should be able to provide vehicle
specifications. Specifications for military vehicles can also be found in
the technical bulletin TB 55-46-1, "Standard Characteristics for
Transportability of Military Vehicles", available online at the website
www.tea.army.mil/si/tb55. This TB lists weights, but does not include
turning radii; the designer will verify maximum anticipated turning
radius vehicle with the Tenants, and ask them to provide the specs for
that vehicle.

2.5.1 Terrorist attacks have demonstrated the vulnerability of U.S.
Antiterrorism/
military and civilian personnel, and the facilities in which they work. To
Force
address this vulnerability, the Department of Defense (DoD)
Protection
established standards to ensure that force protection measures are
(AT/FP)
incorporated into the budgeting, planning, design and construction of
Military Construction (MILCON) funded facilities. The standards
address both new construction and major renovation projects. They
include minimum construction requirements, as well as measures that
can be applied where higher threat levels are identified by the AR
Installation. The Design Agency must request that a threat assessment
be provided to identify the threat level at the proposed project site.
2.5.2 AT/FP criteria applies to the design of all AR facilities, and
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 4-101-01 "DoD Minimum
Antiterrorism Standards for Building" provides the mandatory
guidance. The design team must verify what is applicable to the
specific project and the appropriate AR installation
security personnel must be involved in discussions and design of
AT/FP features/considerations.
2.5.3 This criteria mandates measures to be taken in both site and
building design, and can have appreciable impact on site and building
planning, and on construction cost. Designers are advised to
incorporate AT/FP requirements at the earliest stages of design. A
brief summary of some of the minimum construction requirements:
2.5.3.1 The AT/FP site criteria require, at a minimum, provision of
standoff zones to separate buildings from parking, roadways, and
other buildings. The standoff zones increase the minimum amount of
land required to provide a compliant and functional site layout, and
should be considered during site selection. For elevated threat levels,
vehicle barriers might be required.
