The new 2012 Edition of DoD 5100.76-M, “Physical Security of Sensitive Conventional Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AA&E),” is now available from Document Center Inc. in either paper or pdf format. This DoD Manual is the guide for minimum standards and criteria for the physical security of DoD sensitive conventional AA&E in the custody of any DoD Component, DoD contractor, and foreign military sales or security cooperation programs.
With recent “Fast and Furious” scandal rocking the White House and worries over internal sabotage, the Department of Defense takes no chances with it’s requirements on the handling of arms and armaments. It is DoD policy that the security of sensitive conventional AA&E is of the highest importance. If AA&E is compromised, sabotaged, stolen, misused, or vulnerable to malicious mischief or acts of terrorists, subversives, criminal elements, or willful interference, it has the potential to jeopardize the safety and security of personnel, activities, missions, and installations worldwide. Continuous program and policy oversight is required to ensure protection of AA&E within the Department of Defense.
The DoD 5100.76-M 2012 Edition establishes requirements to adequately protect sensitive conventional AA&E stored at DoD and DoD contractor AA&E activities/facilities during peacetime conditions. The new 84-page Manual replaces the previous (now obsolete) DoD 5100.76-M from August 2000.
