Physical Security: Bachelor Housing Overview:

The Marine Corps Physical Security Program must receive

attention from all echelons within the Chain of Command.

Emphasis is placed on the Commander and Commanding

Officer’s (CO) responsibility to ensure that the command

security posture is accurately and consistently addressed and

resources are afforded to execute and support these

programs. Marines, Sailors, and civilian employees will be

actively involved and vigilant in the security of United States

(U.S.) Government and Marine Corps personnel and property.

Commanders will develop and maintain an operational

capability to present and preserve a sound, secure physical

security posture throughout their areas of responsibility

(AOR). Crime Prevention is a responsibility that requires

planning, support, awareness, and participation.
