Field Manual No. 3-19.30
*FM 3-19.30
Headquarters Department of the Army
Washington, DC, 8 January 2001

This field manual (FM) sets forth guidance for all personnel responsible for physical security. It is the basic reference for training security personnel. It is intended to be a “one-stop” physical security source for the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of the Army (DA), and other proponents and agencies of physical security.

Prevention and protection are the two primary concerns of physical security. Both serve the security interests of people, equipment, and property. These interests must be supported at all staff and command levels; and this support must be unified in joint, multinational, and interagency operations.
