TTU SECURITY PLAN
1.0 Security Control
Security is of paramount importance to the safe and successful operation of the TTU. Security
measures taken to control entry and prevent mishap are incorporated to ensure that: (1) the public
or grazing livestock are prohibited access to the TTU and (2) Oasis and HAFB support personnel
are protected from the potential safety and health hazards associated with TTU operations.
1.1 Fences and Natural Barriers [UAC R315-264-14(b)(2)(i)]
Access to the TTU is controlled by means of three- and four-strand wire fences, cliffs, and
mountainous terrain (see Figures 2 and 3 of Attachment 1). These barriers not only restrict public
entry, but also deter trespass by grazing livestock animals.
1.2 Warning Signs [UAC R315-264-14(c)]
Located on the gates, and every 91 meters (300 ft) along the perimeter fence, are posted signs
indicating, Danger Explosive Disposal Range - Keep Out. The signs must be legible from a
distance of at least 25 feet. Since English is the predominant language in the area surrounding the
TTU, multilingual signs are not required.
2.0 Entry Control [R315-264-14(b)(2)(ii)]
Entry to the TTU is gained through any one of seven gates surrounding the facility (see Figure 3
of Attachment 1). These gates are locked except when TTU access is required. Lock
combinations are on file in the Main HQ building, the Civil Engineer Control Room, and the
Security Police Office.
Oasis Security Police will randomly patrol the TTU to deter unauthorized access. At the
beginning of each detonation season, the entire fence line will be checked for fence integrity.
Thereafter, the fence line will be checked periodically. Random patrols will include the security
of the entrance gate, signs of any unauthorized entry, and/or the presence of any unauthorized
vehicles. Should intruders be detected, they will be immediately escorted off of the TTU.
Military members, AF civilian employees, or contractor personnel will be released to their
supervisor or escort. Non-military affiliated personnel will be detained and released to civilian
authorities or issued a DD Form 1805, Violation Notice. Additionally, an entry will be made in
the Oasis Security Force Desk Blotter. All patrols will remain in radio contact with the Oasis
Police Desk while in the TTU.
For TTU operations whose Q-D calculations indicate the potential for fragments reaching or
extending beyond Box Elder County Road 02230, the road will be blocked north and south of the
TTU. This prevents anyone from inadvertently being hit by high-speed fragments. Security
Police stand by at the Oasis compound for all operations. In case of an intruder, TTU operational
personnel would stop their operations and summon the Security Police via either radio or cellular
telephone.

4-3
Controlling entry into the TTU during OB/OD operations is the responsibility of the RSO1.
3.0 Fire Breaks
Firebreaks (a minimum of 15 ft wide) follow the perimeter and crisscross the TTU as shown in
Figure 2, Attachment 1. They are maintained annually. Firebreaks also serve as emergency
egress routes for personnel operating any of the TTU Sites.
1An RSO is a qualified EOD team member specifically designated to oversee all safety—as opposed to operational— aspects of the
TTU operation. The operations team chief and RSO are never the same person.
