visual environment. Landscape design should be considered as part of the total design
process rather than as an addition of landscape plant material once construction is complete.
Coordination with other elements of the process such as building design and placement,
vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking, lighting, and utilities is critical to the overall
success of the project. When properly planned, landscape elements can be used for a variety
of functions. Primary functions of landscape design include:
a. Ecological/habitat preservation.
b. Meeting environmental mitigation requirements.
c. Screening incompatible land use or visually unacceptable elements.
d. Modification of environmental conditions such as prevailing wind, sunlight, and
excessive moisture.
e. Physical and visual separation of spaces.
f. Soften architectural elements.
g. Visual enhancement.
4-9. PHYSICAL SECURITY. Site design for physical security should be developed to reduce
vulnerabilities resulting from identified threats. References for physical security are TM 5-853-
2, Security Engineering Concept Design; and TM 5-832-3, Security Engineering Final Design.
a. General. Site design issues for physical security include:
(1) Determine level of threat.
(2) Maintaining adequate distances from uncontrolled areas.
(3) Limiting access to the site and facilities.
(4) Maintaining adequate standoff distances.
(5) Maintaining appropriate clear zones.
(6) Maximizing exposure on the site perimeter to allow discovery of unauthorized
approaches.
(7) Minimizing exposure of personnel around the facility.
(8) Blocking sightliness from vantage points.
(9) Siting and orienting buildings to minimize adverse exposure.
(10) Providing barriers to unauthorized pedestrian and vehicle movement.
