Many of the measures may be used at home stations for expedient protection against terrorist attack. These defensive measures are intended for protection against blast, fragmentation and projectiles - although some of the methods and materials may be effective against nuclear weapons. The users of this handbook are primarily Civil Engineers who may be required to provide expedient hardening measures and to construct or assist Security Forces in the hardening of fighting positions constructing of obstacles. Contract construction for protection against terrorist attacks is not covered in this handbook: these methods are covered by AFH 10-222 Volume 3. The guidance in this handbook is based on information found in: AFPAM lO-219 Volume 2: AFH 10-222 Volume 3.
