This NAVADMIN provides interim guidance to update requirement, and define responsibilities associated with the development and sustainment of Navy physical security training and professional development as directed by the Vice Chief of Naval Operations in response to the Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola shooting investigation. 2. Background a. Per reference (a), Physical Security is part of that security concerned with physical measures designed to safeguard personnel; to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents; and to defend against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft. Commanding officers have the inherent responsibility to safeguard Navy property inside contiguous and non-contiguous fence lines and other disparately located Navy owned property. This is accomplished through the employment of a variety of coordination and planning events, site-specific protective measures, and security-in-depth. The proficiency and skillset of the Navy physical security community is critical to ensuring the corresponding physical security plans and equipment are documented, coordinated, and maintained. b. In accordance with reference (a), security is the responsibility of all DON personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) and its proper implementation will be directed by commanders and other leaders at each level of the DON. It shall be fostered through awareness, education, training, and leadership. Further, reference (b) directs Services to develop training, qualification, and suitability requirements for dedicated security forces (including contract security forces where employed, security technicians, and physical security specialists). OPNAV N4, in coordination with the commands listed in paragraph 4 will develop and implement a standardized physical security training and professional development roadmap to ensure commanding officers have the greatest confidence in their staff and personnel are empowered with necessary skills to execute their task. 3. Policy a. All physical security personnel (military, civilian, and contractor) shall complete entry-level physical security training. This applies to physical security billets by name and billets considered collateral duties performing physical security functions (installation and tenant level). b. Navy physical security training will include the fundamental knowledge for conducting surveys, security-in-depth, protection measures, employment of electronic security systems, security planning and cross- functional area coordination. c. Training will be scalable and made available across various platforms to negate the barriers of travel restrictions or lack of travel funds. d. Developed curriculum will be reviewed and updated as needed to remain relevant and aligned with references (a) through (c), applicable higher headquarters directives and guidance, and trending threats. 4. Responsibilities a. Director, Installations Division (N4I) will: (1) Serve as the Resource Sponsor and Office of Primary esponsibility to provide oversight, resourcing, and develop requirements, for Navy physical security training and professional development. (2) Review and validate programming requirements for Navy physical security training and professional development submitted during the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) cycle. b. Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) will: (1) In the role as shore integrator, establish a professional development program for the Navy physical security community. (2) Develop a professional development roadmap (Entry, Intermediate, and Expert level) and associated training requirements, with guidelines for all military, civilian and contractor personnel occupying a physical security billet. (3) Incorporate the Navy physical security courses developed by the Navy Education and Training Command (NETC)/Center for Security Forces (CENSECFOR) into the training requirements for personnel assigned physical security responsibilities. (4) Coordinate with NETC/CENSECFOR and other Service counterparts for the analysis of training and professional development metrics and procedures for continual process improvement. c. Commander, Navy Education and Training Command will: Direct the CENSECFOR to execute the following: (1) Initiate a requirements review of references (a) through (c) and other applicable higher headquarters guidance and directives to include all available physical security course curricula (DoD, federal government, and private industry best practices, etc.) to acquire a comprehensive understanding of current training methods and innovations. (b) Develop a continuum of physical security courses that are scalable across multiple training delivery platforms. (c) Develop training materials and a process for delivering synchronous (certified via proctoring) and asynchronous virtual instruction to meet professional development requirements for Entry, Intermediate, and Expert level physical security specialists. (d) Review and update training periodically, to remain consistent with higher headquarters guidance and directives. d. Commanders, Navy Component Commands and Echelon Two Commands will: (1) Support development and implementation of the physical security training and professional development roadmap, as required. (2) Ensure all personnel assigned physical security duties, per subparagraph 3a, adhere to the requirements of this policy. 5. Applicability. This message applies to all Navy personnel assigned to the duties of physical security specialists (including physical security officers and/or managers) and charged with protecting Navy installation/activity assets (including afloat, expeditionary, tenant, off-installation and leased property/assets). 6.
