 U.S. Army Physical Security Field Manual,
FM 3-19.30 (Excerpted)
Department of the Army
ASIS has excerpted portions of the U.S. Army Physical Security Field Manual, FM 3-19.3
to accommodate those individuals who are studying for the Physical Security Professional
(PSP) exam. This field manual 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. However, the relevant principles of physical security are true in any
application. Prevention and protection are the two primary concerns of physical security.
Both serve the security interests of people, equipment, and property. Challenges relative
to physical security include the control of populations, information dominance,
multinational and interagency connectivity, antiterrorism, and the use of
physical-security assets as a versatile force multiplier. The Field Manual addresses these
concerns. 300 pp.
