UFS 4-010-01 1 July 2026 UNIFIED FACILITIES SUPPLEMENT (UFS) APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED ANTITERRORISM, FORCE PROTECTION, AND SECURITY ENGINEERING UFS 4-010-01 1 July 2026 FOREWORD Unified Facilities Supplements (UFS) provide non-mandatory, supplemental information in support of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Only UFC establish enforceable criteria. UFS are For Information Only (FIO) and exist to help users understand and apply UFC requirements. The purpose of UFS is to offer procedural guidance, best practices, lessons learned, examples, and explanatory materials that clarify how to meet UFC criteria. They may include step-by-step procedures, checklists, illustrations, or decision aids, but they do not create new requirements or modify UFC content. UFS are deve

UFC 1-200-01, section titled “Requirements for Corrosion Prone Locations” provides examples of necessary actions. To determine Environmental Severity Classifications (ESC) for specific project locations refer to UFC 1-200-01 Appendix titled “ESC for DoD Locations”. 1-7 CYBERSECURITY. All facility-related control systems (including systems separate from a utility monitoring and control system) must be planned, designed, acquired, executed, and maintained in accordance with UFC 4-010-06, and as required by individual Service Implementation Policy. 1-8 UFC SUPPLEMENT (UFS) 3-410-01. \1\ UFS 3-410-01 contains supplemental informa

Use this UFS in addition to UFC 1-200-01 and the UFCs and government criteria referenced therein. Refer to UFC 1-201-01, for life safety and habitability-related design requirements for new construction of non-permanent facilities for use by the Department of Defense (DoD) in support of military operations. Also follow the requirements in UFC 1-201-01 for additions and alterations to existing facilities. 1-6 CYBERSECURITY.

Facility orientation is generally by rows and columns as shown in Figure 3.6. However in high-threat areas, facilities are usually hardened, dispersed, or both. If facilities are staggered or sited in irregular locations to maximize passive defense, ensure dispersed locations are within the limitations of the utility systems. The same principle applies to the different area locations. Use extreme caution when staggering facilities to AFPAM
liber). When the medium level of protection applies for lower threat severity levels, use the design strategy for high level of protection. 3-2.2.1 Very Low Level of Protection. The very low level of protection is limited to incorporating the standards of UFC 4-010- 01, the DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. Those requirements will be described in this UFS, but detailed coverage will be left to UFC 4-010-01. 3-2.2.2 Low Level of Protection. For all threat severity levels (involving both small arms and antitank weapons), the design strategy for this level of protection is to block sight lines to building occupants or assets. The assumption behind that strategy is that aggressors will not shoot at what they cannot see. Blocking sight lines may be accomplished by applying both
