Practical experience, schools, selected reading, and your desire to succeed are also necessary to successfully round out a fully meaningful training program.
THE COURSE: This self-study course is organized into subject matter areas, each containing learning objectives to help you determine what you should learn along with text and
illustrations to help you understand the information. The
subject matter reflects day-to-day requirements and experiences of personnel in the rating or skill area. It also reflects
guidance provided by Center for Security Forces Learning Center and other senior personnel, technical references, instructions, etc., and either the occupational or naval standards, which are listed in the Manual of Navy Enlisted Manpower Personnel
Classifications and Occupational Standards, NAVPERS 18068.
THE QUESTIONS: The questions that appear in this course are designed to help you understand the material in the text.

If you are studying and discover a reference in the text to another publication for further information, look it up.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This course was prepared by the Center for Security Forces (CSF) with the input and assistance of numerous Master-at-Arms, Security Officers (6490/7490), and retired
MA/SECO Subject Matter Experts. Input, review, and endorsement was also provided by TYCOM Security Representatives. Without their help, the production of this manual would have not been possible.

SCOPE OF RATING:
Master-at-Arms (MA) provide waterborne and land security,
aircraft and flight line security, strategic weapons and cargo security, maritime security and platform protection; conduct customs operations, corrections operations, detainee operations, and protective service operations; perform antiterrorism, force protection, physical security and law enforcement; organize and train personnel in antiterrorism, force protection, physical security, law enforcement, and weapons proficiency; develop plans for physical security and force protection enhancement of Navy bases, installations, property, and personnel; and assist commands in conducting terrorist threat analysis and
implementing defensive measures.
The Master-at-Arms rating was established in 1973 for duties which were primarily related to good order, discipline and safety. The MA rate saw its largest growth as a result of the attacks against the USS COLE and the September 11th terrorist attacks, going from approximately 1,800 billets to over 10,000 billets. Today, the MA rate provides the Navy with trained, professional security forces in a variety of mission areas.

2. Ashore Installation/AT/FP Overview: Antiterrorism is the defensive measures used to reduce the vulnerability of
individuals and property to terrorists acts to include limited response and containment by local military forces. The
antiterrorism program is one of several security-related
programs that fall under the overreaching Force Protection and Combating Terrorism programs. An antiterrorism program is a collective effort that seeks to reduce the likelihood that
Department of Defense personnel, their families, facilities and material will be subject to a terrorist attack, and to prepare a response to the consequences of such attacks if they occur.
• Deter – Visible security measures to create a “hard target” to disrupt terrorist cycle of operations through the use of Random Antiterrorism Measures (RAM)
• Detect – Alert, well-trained, and well-equipped
watchstanders armed with current intelligence to recognize and report incidents of preoperational surveillance and track potential threats.
• Defend – Measure and procedures commensurate with the threat level; and based on a recent vulnerability assessment; protect critical assets, capabilities,
infrastructure and personnel; and identify, classify, and neutralize threats through well-rehearsed preplanned
responses.
• Mitigate – Measures and procedures that minimize consequences of a terrorist attack.
• Recover – Measures that restore mission effectiveness.

a. Force Protection Conditions (FPCON) and Measures: (1) FPCONs
(a) FPCON Normal – Applies when a general threat of possible terrorist activity exists and warrants a routine
security posture.
(b) FPCON Alpha – Applies when there is an increased general threat of possible terrorist activity against personnel or facilities, the nature and extent of which are unpredictable. FPCON Alpha must be capable of being maintained indefinitely. (c) FPCON Bravo – Applies when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists. Sustaining FPCON Bravo measures for a prolonged period may affect
operational capabilities and relations with local authorities. (d) FPCON Charlie – Applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely. Prolonged implementation of FPCON Charlie measures may create
hardship and affect the activities of the unit and its personnel. (e) FPCON Delta – Applies in the immediate area
where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence is received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is imminent. This FPCON is normally declared as a
localized condition. FPCON Delta measures are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods.
(2) FPCON Measures. Specific measures shall be developed by Commanders as part of their AT/FP plan which details the required actions at each FPCON.

c. Antiterrorism Protection Plan. Specific measures and procedures to deter, detect, mitigate, and recover from
terrorist attacks will be developed based on careful analysis of threat courses of action (see Figure 1-1 for a historical
summary of terrorist attack methods and events.) AT/FP should be considered a Navy core competency and therefore a critical part of every mission area. Planning for all operations should include considerations for AT/FP in order to maintain the
readiness and effectiveness of Naval Forces.

3. Ashore Installation/Physical Security. Navy wide Physical Security programs address the protection of personnel and
property (as such it is inseparably intertwined, but not
exclusively limited to, AT/FP). Such protection is accomplished by identifying the property requiring protection, determining jurisdiction and boundaries, assessing the threat, and
committing resources. The physical security program is defined as the part of security concerned with active and passive
security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access to personnel, equipment, installations, material and documents, and to safeguard them against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft.

(b) Communications. Mobility is one of the keys to success on the modern battlefield. All communications must be geared to support a combat force that must repeatedly move to survive and fight the enemy. The single-channel radio is the primary means of communication for command, fire control,
exchange of information, administration, and liaison between and within units. The versatility of radio communications makes it readily adaptable to rapidly changing tactical situations. Radio is essential for communications over large bodies of water,
territory controlled by enemy forces, and terrain where the construction of wire lines is impossible or impractical. It is also required for air assault operations.
