2 UFC 4-022-03 . 1 October 2013. FOREWORD. The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.). Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.

3 UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services' responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request.

4 The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: Whole Building Design Guide web site Refer to UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, for implementation of new issuances on projects.

5 Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). New Document Summary Sheet Document: UFC 4-022-03 , Security Fences and Gates . Superseding: NAVFAC Military Handbook 1013/10, Design Guidelines for Security Fencing, Gates , Barriers, and Guard Facilities. Document Description and Need: Purpose: This document is to provide a unified approach for the design, selection, and installation of Security Fences and Gates . The examples provided in the UFC are for illustration only and must be modified and adapted to satisfy service and installation specific constraints. This document is not intended to address procedural issues such as threat level determination and Security operations or to provide specific design criteria such as impact forces.

6 This UFC was developed by consolidating and refining criteria from USACE Protective Design Center, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM), and available military, government, and commercial sources that are listed in Appendix A of this document. Application and Use: Commanders, Security personnel, planners, designers, architects, and engineers must use this UFC when evaluating existing and providing new Security Fences and Gates . Need: Fences and Gates are primarily used to define perimeters; however, Department of Defense (DoD) and Service regulations require fencing to be provided for certain protected/restricted areas. DoD and Service policies address certain fencing requirements.

7 This UFC focuses on the requirements for Security Fences , however, the information and design details presented within may also be used for general or perimeter fencing. Modifications to existing fencing are not required to meet this new UFC. Impact: The following direct benefits will result: This document does not set the requirement for Security operations at the installation perimeter. No additional cost impacts are anticipated by the publication of this document. This document does not have any adverse impacts on environmental, sustainability, or constructability policies or practices. Unification Issues There are no unification issues.
