Who selects and designates restricted and controlled areas?

Who selects and designates restricted and controlled areas?

• A. Installation Commander
• B. Base Security Officer
• C. Base Defense Team
• D. Integrated Defense Committee (IDC)

Answer: (D)

Designating restricted and controlled areas is a formal, cross‑disciplinary process that aligns security posture with mission risk. The Integrated Defense Committee (IDC) is the body equipped to review threats, assess risk, and authorize area designations, coordinating security, operations, legal, and other stakeholders as needed. This ensures restrictions reflect current conditions and are properly documented and enforced installation‑wide. While the installation commander holds overall authority and approval, the IDC makes and sustains the formal designations; others handle implementation and enforcement within that framework.
