enroute security capability evaluation briefing for areas of intended operation prior to home
station departure and should request updates from enroute C2 as required. If required, a
PHOENIX RAVEN team will be assigned to the mission.
7.5.1. The PHOENIX RAVEN team will consist of two US Air Force security force
members, but may include more depending on security requirements. The team's travel
status is determined by MAJCOM. When in the execution phase, the team travels in MEP
status and is responsible to the PIC at all times. In turn, the PIC is responsible for the team‘s
welfare (transportation, lodging, etc.). Ensure security team members receive a mission
briefing and aircraft egress/passenger briefing (as appropriate).
7.5.2. Arrival. On arrival, the PIC will assess the local situation and take the following
actions as required:
7.5.2.1. Area patrol. Request area security patrols from local security forces. If local
authorities request payment for this service, use AF Form 15, United States Air Force
Invoice.
7.5.2.2. Aircrew surveillance. During short ground times, direct armed crewmembers to
remain with the aircraft and maintain surveillance of aircraft entrances and activities in
the aircraft vicinity.
7.5.2.3. Inadequate Security. If, in the opinion of the PIC, airfield security is inadequate
and the PIC determines the safety of the aircraft is in question, the PIC may waive the
FDP limits and crew rest requirements and depart as soon as possible for a base
considered reliable. Report movement and intentions to the controlling agency as soon as
practical. If a departure is not possible, the aircrew must secure the aircraft to the best of
their ability. In no case, will the entire crew leave the aircraft unattended. Crew rest
requirements will be subordinate to aircraft security when the airframe may be at risk.
The PIC should rotate a security detail among the crew to provide for both aircraft
protection and crew rest until relief is available. Request security assistance from the
nearest DOD installation, US Embassy, local military or law enforcement agencies as
appropriate.
7.5.3. Entry Control Procedures. Unescorted entry is granted to aircrew members and
support personnel assigned to the mission who possess their home station AF Form 1199, Air
Force Entry Control Card, supported by an Entry Access List (EAL) or aircrew orders.
Aircrew members and assigned crew chiefs are authorized escort authority.
7.5.3.1. Normally, non-United States nationals, such as cargo handlers, can perform their
duties under escort and should not be placed on the EAL.
7.5.3.2. Personnel not on the EAL or aircrew orders must be escorted within the area.
7.6. Detecting Unauthorized Entry.
7.6.1. When parking on a secure ramp, the aircraft will normally be left unlocked/unsealed
to allow ground personnel immediate access. If, in the PIC‘s judgment, the aircraft needs to
be locked and sealed in order to detect unauthorized entry, then:
7.6.1.1. Use available aircraft ground security locking devices.
