Duress codes, duress words and mechanical duress devices are used by whom?
SF, maintenance personnel and anyone else working in support of nuclear resources.
At a minimum who must know how and when to use duress words?
As a minimum, all personnel granted unescorted entry into the WSA must know “how and when” to use duress words.
What do duress procedures enable personnel to do?
Procedures enable personnel to alert friendly forces of duress situations under a number of distinctive conditions without additional risks to bystanders.
How is duress indicated?
Duress is indicated by non-compliance with established procedures.
What does indication of a duress require?
Indications of duress situations require immediate armed response and investigation by SF
List four examples of duress indications?
- Misauthentication.
- Code compromise.
- Duress words: Actual passing and receiving of the current primary or alternate duress word.
- Code of the day. Passing and receiving of the designated duress number (Listed on the code of the day memorandum) to W-2.
- Mechanical duress (from LDA/RDA/EC).
- Radio duress button (do not initiate unless there is an actual situation).
- The AECS duress pin number entered instead of access pin number.
- Misauthentication procedures during opening/closing of bays/structures.
When does a misauthentication occur during opening and closing of bays/igloos/structures?
Misauthentication occurs when individuals respond incorrectly or do not respond to the “code of the day” when challenged by LDAO/RDAO.
Who must know the code of the day?
Munitions personnel requiring entry into bays/igloos/structures must know the code of the day.
What are the procedures for initial and second missauthentication during the opening of a bay/igloo/structure?
- For initial misauthentication, LDAO/RDAO will:
- Have the key team stand by with the opening and cease all opening/closing procedures.
- Dispatch AS and an ISRT to the affected structure/bay.
- AS and an ISRT will:
- Challenge and remove all personnel from the area of the structure/bay and position the individual facing away from the resources.
- Have forces instruct maintenance guard to place their weapon on the ground, if applicable.
- Have forces take control of the guard’s weapon and place themselves between the individuals and the resources.
- Ensure locks are in place.
- Ensure maintenance personnel are positively identified via their AECS card against the preannouncement notification.
- In the absence of further duress, the AS will authenticate with the LDAO, brief the key team on proper authentication procedures and allow re-authentication. Have SF remain in position.
- For two misauthentications on any structure the following procedures apply:
AS and an ISRT will: - Remove the key team and armed guard from the area and place at a disadvantage in the vehicle entrapment area. NOTE: The structure/bay will not be left unattended. Secure with two security personnel until a maintenance key team assumes control of the structure/bay.
- Ensure suspects are kept at a disadvantage until an authorized two-person key team arrives to take control of the keys. NOTE: During inclement weather, the suspects will be inspected, handcuffed, and placed in a warm vehicle to await arrival of a new key team. Structure keys will NEVER leave the WSA.
CSC and LDAO will: - Cease all opening/closing procedures.
- Initiate appropriate up-channel reporting.
- Notify maintenance of misauthentication and request preannouncement and dispatch of second key team.
What are the procedures for missauthentication during the opening/closing of an M&I administrative area?
Misauthentication during the opening or closing by a single person of the administrative areas does not require an automatic Security Situation. Administrative areas do not afford access to no lone zones. Armed response by an ISRT and W-1 is required. Re-identify personnel via the access approval and authority list (AAAL) and verify security status. If all is in order terminate and allow the opening or closing.
What are the procedures when an RF member receives a duress word/number?
The RF member receiving the duress word/number will not give any indication to victim or subjects that he/she is knowledgeable of the distress call and will discreetly notify W-2 or CSC. In any case, the individual(s) will not be allowed to depart, grant entry or access, or continue with any procedures. If the victim or subjects try to depart, the RF member will initiate a challenge of all personnel on scene.
Authentication matrix’s are used by whom? How will all other forces authenticate?
W-2, W-18, CSC and BDOC/ last name authentication

- The vehicle will be challenged and all personnel ordered to dismount out of the way as directed by SF personnel.
- Personnel will be separated and asked to explain the reason for the improper response. If all personnel can positively verify that there is no duress, the team is secure and that human error was involved, the team will be allowed entry.
- If the possibility of a hostile situation cannot be ruled out, entry will be denied, personnel will be apprehended/detained and an up-channel report will be initiated.
