This field manual sets forth guidance for all people responsible for physical security. It's the basic reference for training security personnel. It also covers requesting additional equipment and manpower. The two primary concerns of this manual are prevention and protection. Both serve the security interest of people, equipment, and property. To be most effective, this interest must be supported at all staff and command levels. This support must be unified.

These are as follows: G Law Enforcement Division, Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel—DA policy and procedures, Army-wide guidance, assistance, and development of physical security equipment.
