Terminal Learning Objective

• Task Control Access to a Military Installation
  191-376-5151 (SL 1)

4
Terminal Learning Objective

• Conditions Given an individual attempting to
  enter an installation by vehicle or as a
  pedestrian, local SOP and standard military
  police equipment. You are on duty performing
  installation access control. The installation
  commander has directed that all
  pedestrian-carried packages and vehicles that do
  not have a DOD decal be inspected as a condition
  for entry onto the installation. Remember, a
  civilian can refuse any attempt to be inspected
  and should never be inspected over his refusal.

5

• The installation commander has further directed
  that any vehicle in which someone is unable to
  show a valid form of government-issued picture ID
  be directed to the vehicle inspection lane where
  the vehicle will be inspected and the
  unidentified person's name be checked against the
  barred person(s) list and vouched for by someone
  authorized access to the installation prior to
  being granted access.

6
Terminal Learning Objective

• Standards Safeguard a military installation,
  protect government property, and prevent
  unauthorized personnel, packages, and/or vehicles
  from entering the installation.

7

• Evaluation You will be evaluated by a hands on
  Performance Test. A NO GO on the test will
  result in being retrained and retested at a later
  date

8
Performance Steps

• 1. Identify if person attempting entry is in a
  vehicle or a pedestrian. IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS A
  PEDESTRIAN, SKIP TO STEP 7.

9
Performance Steps

• 2. Perform a visual check of the exterior front
  of the vehicle as it approaches.
• Look at front license plate year/month decal to
  ensure it has not expired.
• Look at windshield or bumper and verify
  Department Of Defense decal is visible and has
  not expired.
• Ensure there is nothing obvious about the
  approach that would arouse suspicion indicating
  an impaired driver or terrorist activity.

10

• 3. Stop the vehicle using hand and arm signals.
• NOTE Always position yourself so that you are
  highly visible to traffic with good approach
  sight distance and wear brightly colored vests or
  hats so the vehicle's driver can see you easily.

11

• 4. Interview driver and vehicle occupants.
• Identify each occupant by physically taking
  possession of and looking at military or DOD
  identification (ID) card, state drivers' license
  or other form of government issued photo ID.
  Compare the photo to the person and inspect the
  ID to ensure it is valid and has not been
  tampered with.

12

• Maintain eye contact with driver throughout
  interview and report suspicious behavior to your
  supervisor.

13

• NOTE The MP at the installation entry point is
  acting as a sentinel safeguarding a military
  installation and protecting government property
  while preventing theft. The installation
  commander has the authority to direct a search or
  an inspection at Access Control Points (ACP) to
  his installation and on the installation.

14

• 5. Determine if vehicle and occupants are
  authorized access.
• If there is no DOD decal on the vehicle then
  direct the vehicle to the inspection lane where
  it will be checked before access is granted.
• NOTE Local SOP will dictate whether a temporary
  vehicle pass is issued. See local SOP for
  further guidance.

15

• If an unidentified person cannot produce an
  authorized form of government issued photo
  identification then direct them to the Visitor's
  Center to possibly be searched, and be checked
  against the barred person(s) list and vouched
  onto the installation by an authorized person
  (see note below) or denied access. An MP
  response is to simply deny access. Remember,
  these are security measures, not legal measures
  to obtain "evidence." Without probable cause, a
  civilian can refuse any attempt at searching or
  inspecting him or his vehicle.

16

• NOTE Keep in mind that the driver or other
  occupants of the vehicle may be under duress by
  the unidentified person. Because of this
  potential problem, local SOPs and Commanders may
  implement a duress code policy that would alert
  access controllers to the suspect.

17

• 6. Grant or Deny Access to the installation using
  hand and arm signals.
• If the vehicle has a decal and everyone in the
  vehicle has been identified with a government
  issued photo ID, then grant access to the
  installation.
• If the driver or occupants lack identification or
  DOD sticker and refuse to report to the vehicle
  inspection lane and Visitor's Center, then deny
  access to the installation.

18

• NOTE Always position yourself so that you are
  highly visible to traffic with good approach
  sight distance and wear brightly colored vests or
  hats so the vehicle's driver can see you easily.

19

• 7. Perform a visual check of the person
  approaching the pedestrian gate.
• Look to see if person is carrying a briefcase,
  box, or any item that should be inspected.

20

• Ensure person does not have unusual bulges in
  clothing and is not dressed inappropriately for
  the time of year or season (example long jacket
  in hot weather, etc) Have the person open the
  hand-carried item and reveal the contents. As
  the person to open his coat and visually inspect
  for unusual or suspicious items.

21

• Ensure there is nothing obvious about the person
  approaching that would arouse suspicion
  indicating terrorist activity.
• Recognize auditory manifestations of the "fight
  or flight" mechanism.
• Recognize potential terrorists through force
  protection training.
• Recognize physical manifestations of the "fight
  or flight" mechanism.

22

• 9. Interview the Individual.
• Identify individual by physically taking
  possession of and looking at military or DOD
  identification (ID) card, state drivers' license,
  or other form of government-issued photo ID.
  Compare the photo to the person and inspect the
  ID to ensure it is valid and has not been
  tampered with.

23

• Determine contents of briefcase, package, or
  container.
• Maintain eye contact with the individual
  throughout interview and report suspicious
  behavior to your supervisor.

24

• 10. Determine if individual is authorized access.
  
• If an unidentified person cannot produce an
  authorized form of government issued photo
  identification then direct them to the Visitors
  Center to possibly be checked, and be checked
  against the barred person(s) list and vouched
  onto the installation or denied access. An MP
  response is to simply deny access. Remember,
  these are security measures, not legal measures
  to obtain "evidence." Without probable cause, a
  civilian can refuse any attempt at searching or
  inspecting him or his vehicle. Just deny
  "access," that is all.

25

• NOTE Local SOP will dictate whether a temporary
  visitor's pass is issued. See local SOP for
  further guidance.
• If the person has a briefcase, package or other
  container then direct the unidentified person to
  the Visitor's Center to have the carried package
  checked, and have his or her person checked.

26

• 11. Grant or Deny Access to the installation.
• If the person has been identified with an
  authorized government issued photo ID and has no
  briefcase, bag, or container to search, then
  grant access to the installation.

27

• If the person lacks identification and refuses to
  report to the Visitor's Center then deny access
  to the installation.

28
Supervise an Access Control Point

29

• Conditions Given an Access Control Point,
  personnel, appropriate equipment, current force
  protection threat level, Local SOPs, access
  control rosters, AR 190-13 and AR 525-13.
• Standards Supervise Access Control Personnel at
  an installation access control point IAW Local

30
PERFORMANCE STEPS

• 1. Ensure that the Special Guard Orders include
  execution instructions for such items as

  house, visitors center) and surrounding areas.
• Ensure facilities are functioning properly
  (doors, lighting, rest rooms).
• Ensure surrounding areas are properly maintained,
  free of debris and public hazards (ice on
  walkways and road surfaces).

36

• Inspect conditions of the facilities (gate house,
  visitors center) and surrounding areas. Contd.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS??

• Many of the forces that conduct Access Control
  are not Law Enforcement personnel. This is even
  truer at higher FPCON levels.

42
IPC Skills What Are They?
43

• You are performing gate duties. Your first
  concern is to protect and help the Military
  community. You know that to have the full
  support of the community you must practice good
