DOE Protective Force

This book is included in the Unexplained Shortages & The End Of The World As We Know It section.
PREFACE
1. PURPOSE. 
This Manual establishes the requirements for the management and operation of the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) Protective Force (PF). This Manual also establishes the requirements for firearms operations and defines 
the firearms courses of fire. The 10 chapters and five appendices in Section C provide detailed requirements for 
qualification with various firearms.

2. OBJECTIVES.
	a. Effect the policy in DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security Management Policy (ISSM), by 
	integrating protective force into DOE operations as determined by line management, and according to 
	sound risk management practices. [DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security Management 
	Policy (ISSM), is the Department’s philosophical approach to the management of the Safeguards & 
	Security (S&S) Program. A principal objective of the ISSM Program is to integrate S&S into management
	and work practices at all levels, based on program line management’s risk management based decisions,
	so that missions may be accomplished without security events, such as interruption, disruption or 
	compromise. This approach includes individual responsibility and implementation of the security 
	requirements found in this Manual.]
	b. Establish and maintain uniform requirements for PF personnel and firearms operations, to include the
	firearms qualification and re-qualification of Federal Officers, Federal Agents, Special Agents, and 
	Security Police Officers by certified Federal and contractor firearms instructors.

3. PROGRAM INTEGRATION.
The PF program must be integrated with other programs such as S&S program planning and management, 
physical protection, information security, personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability. 
Additionally, the activities and requirements in the weapons surety, foreign visits and assignments, safety, 
emergency management, cyber security, intelligence and counterintelligence programs should also be considered
in the implementation of this Manual.

4. CANCELLATIONS. 
The directives listed below are canceled. Cancellation of a directive does not by itself modify or otherwise affect 
any contractual obligation to comply with the directive. Cancelled directives that are incorporated by reference in a
contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the reference to the requirements in the canceled 
directives. The publication of this Manual incorporates previous memoranda and letters that were issued by the 
Office of Security or its predecessor organizations that established policy.
	a. DOE M 473.2-1A, Firearms, Qualification Courses Manual, dated 1-17-02
	b. DOE M 473.2-2, Protective Force Program Manual, dated 6-30-00

5. APPLICABILITY.
	a. Departmental Elements. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 5.c., this Manual applies to all 
	Departmental elements listed on Attachment 1. This Manual automatically applies to Departmental 
	elements created after it is issued. The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration 
	(NNSA) will assure that NNSA employees and contractors comply with their respective responsibilities 
	under this Manual.
	b. Contractors.
		(1) The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 2, sets forth requirements of
		this Manual that apply to site/facility management contracts that include the CRD.
		(2) The CRD must be included in the site/facility management contracts that involve classified 
		information or matter, or nuclear materials and contain DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) 
		clause 952.204-2, Security Requirements.
			(a) Departmental elements must notify contracting officers of affected site/facility 
			management contracts to incorporate this directive into those contracts.
			(b) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for incorporating this directive 
			into the affected contracts via the Laws, Regulations, and DOE Directives clause of 
			the contracts.
		(3) A violation of the provisions of this directive relating to the safeguarding or security of 
		Restricted Data or other classified information may result in a civil penalty pursuant to 
		subsection a. of section 234B, of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282b.). The 
		procedures for the assessment of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal
		Regulations (CFR), Part 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties for 
		Classified Information Security Violations, (10 CFR part 824).
		(4) As stated in DEAR clause 970.5204-2, titled Laws, Regulations, and DOE Directives, 
		regardless of the performer of the work, site/facility contractors with the CRD incorporated into
		their contracts are responsible for compliance with the CRD. Affected site/facility management
		contractors are responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at 
		any tier to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements. In doing so, 
		contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. 
		That is, contractors must ensure that both they and their subcontractors comply with the
		requirements of this CRD and incur only costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in 
		the conduct of competitive business.
		(5) This Manual does not automatically apply to other than site/facility management contracts. 
		Application of any of the requirements in this Manual to other than site/facility management 
		contracts will be communicated as follows.
			(a) Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters Departmental Elements. Review 
			procurement requests for new non-site/facility management contracts that involve 
			classified information or matter, or nuclear materials and contain DEAR clause 952.
			204-2, Security Requirements, and, if appropriate, ensure that the CRD of this 
			Manual is included in the contract.
			(b) Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests who want to 
			incorporate the requirements of the CRD of this Manual in new non-site/facility 
			management contracts, as applicable.
	c. Exclusion. In accordance the responsibilities and authorities assigned by Executive Order 12344 and
	to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion 
	Program, the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors will implement and oversee all requirements and 
	practices pertaining to this Manual for activities under the Deputy Administrator’s cognizance.

6. DEVIATIONS. 
Deviations from the requirements contained in this Manual must be processed in accordance with DOE M 470.4-1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management.

Security Program References. In addition to those in the Glossary, the following definitions are provided for use in 
this Manual.

	authority to commit resources or direct the allocation of personnel or approve implementation plans and 
	procedures in the accomplishment of specific work activities.
	b. Line management refers to DOE and NNSA Federal and contractor employees who have been 
	granted the authority to commit resources or direct the allocation of personnel or approve implementation

	Security and Safety Performance Assurance.

8. IMPLEMENTATION. 
Requirements that cannot be implemented within 6 months of the effective date of this Manual or within existing 
resources must be documented by the cognizant security authority and submitted to the relevant program officers; 
the Under Secretary for Energy, Science and Environment or the Under Secretary for Nuclear Security/
Administrator, NNSA; and the Office of Security. The documentation must include timelines and resources needed 
to fully implement this Manual. The documentation must also include a description of the vulnerabilities and impacts
created by delayed implementation of the requirements.
