SECURITY: This is a CAT 1-missile/explosive, that must be secured and inventoried IAW the following requirements:

A. DEPOT, POST OR INSTALLATION STORAGE-General requirements follow:

1.) 2 high security padlocks.

2.) 2-person rule. Each person is authorized on a specific access roster for a specific key only. The same person cannot be on the access roster for both keys. Thus it should require 2 persons to unlock the door. Review the access rosters for compliance.

3.) Chain link fence 6ft high with a 1 foot slanted barbed wire overhang.

4.) Real estate permitting; 12ft free zone outside fence & 30ft inside fence.

5.) Minimum gates. If not guarded, secured with adequate locking devices. Underground drains, etc barred if > 96 sq in.

6.) Lights. Lights around perimeter and over door must be adequate to detect unauthorized personnel. Light switches must be controlled.

7.) Storage bunker must have an intrusion detection system (IDS), a closed circuit television, or constant, on site guard with radio/communications with its headquarters. If IDS is used does someone call in before going into the magazine, if not, does a reaction force respond as though this was an unauthorized intrusion?

8.) Missiles will typically be stored in original containers, sealed and banded together.

B. DEPLOYED UNIT STORAGE-Unit storage is for those missiles, which are deployed in a tactical or operational environment. Storage requirements are much the same as for missiles stored in a depot, but commanders may post a letter in the storage facility that indicates they have chosen for operational reasons to store the missiles in an alternate security location. When this happens the minimum security requirements apply:

1.) Missile containers/boxes will be banded together in a manner that easily shows signs of tampering.

2.) Stored in an approved container such as a SEAVAN, MILVAN, or stored in a totally enclosed building.

3.) Doors must be secured with two padlocks (medium or low security padlocks are okay.)

4.) Two-person access rule applies.

5.) Must have 24hrs armed guard surveillance and the guard must have communications with its headquarters. (When these types of storage facilities are used, IDS or closed circuit TV cannot be a substitute for the 24hr armed guard surveillance.)

6.) Note: MANPADS missiles cannot be left in vehicles, aircraft, or ammunition holding areas.

C. WAIVERS/EXCEPTIONS/COMPENSATORY MEASURES: When compliance is not met, are there any approved waivers, exceptions, or compensatory measures in place?

1. Were the following security requirements taken from the LOA or MOU complied with?

A. Guards-Is there a full time guard force?

B. Fencing- Chain link fence 6ft high with a 1 foot slanted barbed wire overhang at the top. Real estate permitting, 12ft free zone outside the fence & 30ft inside.

C. Is lighting provided to illuminate the magazine/arms room/vault door during the hours of darkness or reduced visibility? Is lighting provided along the perimeter of the fence line for the missile storage area?

D. Building/magazine-The requirement is for a reinforced concrete, arch type, earth covered magazine. Storage in other types of structures may be permitted if the structure used would provide the same time delay equivalent as the earth covered magazine or igloo.

E. Door of Class V steel vault specifications (Photo 1) - Steel used on these doors is approximately twice the thickness of a good steel wall locker. It should be of double wall construction with reinforcing in between. If should not be easy to open with an axe of other such cutting tool.

F. Shrouded Hasps used with high-security padlocks - Hasps which have a heavy metal cover over and around the top of the hasp which when in place prevents easy access to the cutting of the pad lock's shank (Photo 2).

G. Shrouded Hasps used with high-security padlocks - Hasps which have a heavy metal cover over and around the top of the hasp which when in place prevents easy access to the cutting of the pad lock's shank (Photo 2).

H. 2 Hi-security Pad Locks must be used that are operated by key.

I. 2 person Key Control-Are two persons required to open the door and are they continuously present? Lock & key procedures need to be in place to insure no single person can obtain access to the storage site.

EXAMPLE OF QUESTIONS TO ASK TO DETERMINE IF A GOOD LOCK & KEY PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE:

. Is a key/lock inventory list being maintained which depicts a list of all keys/locks, key/lock serial numbers and the number of keys maintained for each lock?

. Do all keys have a serial number stamped or inscribed on them?

. Are master keyed or multiple keyed systems used (not allowed?)?

. Is the key depository located in a room where it is kept under 24-hour surveillance around-the-clock or in a room that can be (and is) locked during non-duty hours?

. Is each person of the two person team necessary to open the doors kept on separate rosters and allowed to have access to only one each of the two keys necessary to open the door (secured by two different hi-security pad locks?)

J. Seals on containers/boxes intact?

K. Is the intrusion detection system (IDS) or closed circuit television operational, or is the magazine/arms room/vault under 24-hour surveillance by a guard?

L. Were compensatory measures used or considered when full compliance with the LOA security measures not met? If so what were the compensatory measures? (Photo 3).

M. If all security requirements are not to standard has a request for exception/waiver regarding structural or security deficiencies been submitted if required? If a waiver/exception has been granted, is it available and reviewed as required, and is the unit complying with any required compensatory measures?

2: MISSILE INSPECTION:

A. The missile should be in a metal container or wire bound wooden box (Photos 4 & 5). The box will have the serial number on the outside.

B. Except for missiles deployed to hostile areas, the SAO will physically inventory 100 percent annually of in-country Stinger missiles (by looking within the launch tube), gripstocks, and other essential components, e.g. batteries. The inventory must include review of the recipient's records of monthly two-man verifications as required by the Stinger/MANPADS LOA or other arms transfer document note, e.g. MOU. Unless problems indicate the necessity for such action, the manufacturer's sealed containers should not be opened during the inventory. There must be a manufacturer's seal on at least one of the bent wire closures (wooden box) (Photo 6) or at least one of the metal containers' latches (Photo 7).

C. Signs to look for to see if a missile has been removed from a box and the box returned

3: TO A PALLET:

A. Manufacturer's banding is not bounding the missile pallets (Photo 8).

B. Look at the ends of the wooden boxes. One will have a window that should show a humidity indicator (Photo 9). The humidity indicator should be blue (Photo 10). If the indicator is missing or cannot be seen or if the indicator shows an unacceptable level of humidity (pink shades of color indicates level of humidity), it is an indication that the missile is missing or that the packaging and desiccant is unserviceable and must be opened and repackaged and desiccant replaced (Photo 11).

C. A method of gaining access to the missile inside of the wooden crate without breaking the wooden crate's seal, is to: a) cut the banding wire of the missile pallet, b) remove a missile container from the pallet, c) cut the bottom of the wooden container, d) remove the missile and launch tube from the bottom of the wooden container (Photo 12), e) repack the remnants into the wooden container, f) put the wooden crate back into the middle of the pallet (Photo 5).

D. Broken seals. Seals are easily broken (Photo 13). If in a wood wire bound box, remove the inner plastic sealed cardboard box from the wooden box and check for cuts or unusual sealing techniques in the sealed wrapping (Photo 14). If it feels and looks original and normal, assume the missile is inside and replace in the wire bound box and reseal with a DSCA approved seal (Photo 15) or label (Photo 16). If it looks questionable or its weight is light, the plastic must be removed and the missile physically inventoried (Photo 12).

E. If in a metal container (Photo 17), check the latches for manufacturers (Photo 7) or DSCA approved seal (Photo 15) or label (Photo 16) and that the humidity indicator is blue (Photo 18). If the seals look original, and the humidity indicator is blue, assume the missile is inside. IF the container looks questionable or its weight is light, the container must be opened and the missile physically inventoried (Photo 19).

A. If stored at a Depot: are the gripstocks stored separate from the stinger missiles in an enclosed room? (Photo 20). With a metal door or metal covered solid wood door, and two high security padlocks? Door hinges on the inside? (Photo 3) Windows barred? Is there security lighting over the door? b. If stored in an arms room: are the grips stocks secured in a metal secondary container inside the room? If the container with gripstocks inside weighs less than 500lbs is it secured to the floor or walls with chain and locks? (Photo 21)

B. Is there controlled access to the keys and entry to the storage facility?

C. Are the grips stocks secured in a metal container inside the room? (Photo 22). If not, are the gripstocks in their original packing? (Photo 23). If the packing does not show signs of tampering, do not open. If the packing shows signs of being opened, the gripstock must be visually inventoried (Photo 24) by serial number (Photo 25).
