The physical location of the facility, number and type of guards, hours of operation, type of construction, and the degree of the threat must all be considered when deciding if, and/or what type of, an alarm system is to be used. However, if an alarm system is used, it must meet the minimum requirements established herein. 19. Any security alarm system or alarm component which is to be used to protect sensitive compartmented information must have been tested against, and passed, the Interim Federal Specification, Alarm Systems, Interior, Security, Components for, W -A-00450A (GSA-FSS) dated Z9 December 1969, as subsequently amended. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) is the General Services Administration's officially designated test facility for security alarm systems. Their certification that a system or a component has been tested against the Interim Federal Specification and has passed all tests shall constitute an authorization to use that system or component to protect sensitive compartmented information.

Z3. All incoming telephone cables and wires which penetrate a facility's perimeter must enter the facility through one opening and be placed under control at the interior face of the perimeter by the following: a. All active incoming telephone lines must be accounted for by the number of pairs in use, by telephone or extension number, and the number of excess/unused pairs in existence. This accounting must be updated whenever the status of a pair of wires is changed. b. All excess/unused incoming wires must be either disconnected, removed, stripped and grounded, or bound together in a manner which prevents their unauthorized use.

Audio Security: In establishing physical security protection for a sensitive compartmented information facility, sound attenuation aspects, as well as the possibility of technical penetration, must be considered. Countermeasures can be effected by installation of proper equipment, suitable construction, and enhanced by the maintenance of sound discipline where required. When conversations of a classified nature occur within a facility, sound deadening material must be installed so as to conform with the Building Area Sound Group Classifications in Annex C. These classifications apply to all perimeter walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, vents, ducts, and any other openings exposed to areas not under U. S. Government control or areas which otherwise present a hazard. A technical counter audio inspection shall be conducted at each new facility either before it is placed in operation or as soon afterward as is possible. Thereafter, these inspections shall be conducted at such intervals as may be necessary to maintain adequate technical security. 28. Optical Security: If a facility is accredited for handling, but not for discussion of sensitive compartmented information or Approved For Rele 0 j:? i W )WQ591 R000400050013-0 Approved For lea-Qp2aKff3T194A&IAJ-kEAN 5938000400050013-0 materials, all windows which might reasonably afford optical surveillance of personnel, documents, materials, or activities within the facility must be made opaque or equipped with blinds, drapes, or other suitable covering which will preclude such optical surveillance. 29. Access Controls: Rooms, office suites, or other areas accredited as sensitive compartmented information facilities must be afforded access controls to preclude freedom of entry by unauthorized personnel during the conduct of business.

Security Standards for field or combat operations can only prescribe the minimum requirements, since each situation differs. Situation and time permitting, however, the minimum standards below will be improved upon, using the security considerations and requirements for permanent secure facilities as an ultimate goal. 31. Under field or combat conditions, a continuous 24 hours operation is mandatory. Every effort must be made to obtain all necessary support from the headquarters served (e. g. , security containers, vehicles, generators, barbed wire, automatic weapons, etc. ). 32. Recognizing that field/combat operations, as opposed to operations within a fixed military installation, are of the type which may be considered as least secure, it is, therefore, required that the following minimum physical security requirements be met: a. The facility shall be physically located well within the supported headquarters defensive perimeter; preferably as close to the Command Operations Center as compliance with these requirements will allow.

This Annex provides information to be used as acoustic isolation criteria (voice range only) for construction of sensitive compartmented information facilities. The spectrum of technical surveillance devices for voice transmittal and compromising emanations is treated in other directives and, therefore, is not addressed herein. 2. The term "Sound 'Transmission Class'(STC) is used in architectural acoustics to describe the transmission attenuation afforded by various wall materials and other building components. The following transmission attenuation groups have been set up to satisfy the normal security requirements of facilities used for sensitive compartmented information activities which border areas not under U. S. Government control or areas which otherwise present a hazard. a. Sound Group 1 - 30 or better STC Loud speech can be understood fairly well.

The door will be a, single steel panel not exceeding 4' in width or 8' in height. The minimum panel thickness should be 1/4" for secure areas and 1/2" for vault areas. 2. The door frame is to be constructed of steel at least 1/811 thick for secure areas and 1/4" thick for vault areas. The door stop must be continuously welded to the frame. It may be a solid block of metal (Detail B) or a "U" channel (Detail A); however, the stop must extend out from the frame sufficiently to allow at least a one inch contact with the door panel at sides and top. The frame should extend over the wall, sides and top, a minimum of 4". 3. Normally doors of this type must open outward for safety reasons and, therefore, the hinges are on the outside. Heavy duty steel hinges will be used, at least three per door panel. These hinges should be welded to the panel and frame, and the hinge pins welded to the butts. 4. Four steel bar holding brackets, at least 4" wide and 1/411 thick, will be welded to the inside of the door in the approximate Approved For Release) IOB'AAI" UNDD591 R000400050013-0 Approved For-Iel2OQlACJW0$594W00400050013-0 location shown on the attached drawing. The top two brackets are to be positioned approximately 1/3 of the distance down from the top of the door panel and the bottom two approximately 1/3 of the distance up from the floor. 5. Two steel bars are to be made (Detail C) for placement in the brackets. The bars can be constructed of two steel angles or "U" channels welded together and, when completed, should be approximately 3" to 4" square. The length of the bars will be such that, when in place, they provide a close fit in the door jamb, overlapping the door stop/mullion by 1" or more. 6. The bars and brackets are to be drilled at a downward angle to accommodate 1/4" steel pins. The pins are to be sufficiently long to bottom out on the inside of the bars and are to be secured with chains welded or otherwise attached to the door jamb; attachment is to keep the pins from being lost. The fit of the pins must permit ready removal by hand. 7. Spacer blocks are to be provided with each of the bar and bracket units. These blocks serve to cause a proper, snug fit of the bars when in place. The blocks may be of either steel or wood. If steel, they may be welded to the bars; if wood, they may be drilled and attached with bolts. Approved For Releals~j "JArIAt "M 91 R000400050013-0 Approved For let l 0G 14JR 0 5941 00400050013-0 8. Detail A depicts a means of securing a door frame to a light secure area type wall, such as wood studs and dry wall reinforced with steel or expaned metal. A "U" channel or two angles are adjusted and welded together to form the frame around the wall opening. It is then bolted in place by the use of carriage bolts having their rivet-like heads on the outside and the nut on the inside. The bolts at the nut end will be peened over or spot welded to preclude tampering. The bolts should be at least 3/8" in diameter and installed so that their heads fit tight and flush against the outside of the frame. Bolts will be installed in both sides and top of the frame and spaced approximately 18" apart. 9. Detail B depicts a suggested method for installing a frame in a masonry wall. Pieces of steel 1-1/2" to 2" wide by 1/4" thick are formed as shown and grouted into the masonry of the door opening every 12" to 18" at both sides and top. The hole in the end, kept flush with the opening, will be drilled and tapped to receive the screw selected. This screw should be of steel, 3/8" or more in diameter, and will be long enough to extend through all three pieces of metal. Two angles, as shown in the detail, are then put in place and screwed together. The door stop, be it Approved For Rele ej 0 WJ A%1AdW LJGfi91 R000400050013-0 Approved For-ieaFsQP2C@iff3 4Aei4-I 0~659-4W00400050013-0 a solid block or "U" channel, is then continuously welded in place on both sides and top of the frame. This method of installing a steel door frame is extremely effective from the standpoint of strength. If the steel piece is not used, a 3/8" diameter steel lag bolt, shaped in an L, may be grouted into the masonry with its threaded end out. The two angles are then installed with holes to permit the threaded end to protrude through them and a nut is used to bolt the frame in place. This method is as effective, but is more unsightly and personnel passing through the door are apt to catch clothing on the protruding bolt ends.
