What is the purpose of an inport security plan?

The purpose of an inport security plan is to provide guidance for assigned units when they are in port at Navy-controlled installations. This plan outlines the security measures necessary to protect personnel, assets, and sensitive information while the unit is docked. It details protocols for access control, surveillance, communication procedures, and response strategies to potential security threats during the time a Navy vessel is in port.

Having a structured plan ensures that all personnel understand their roles, which enhances the effectiveness of security operations and promotes a secure environment. Inport security plans are critical for maintaining order and safety in potentially vulnerable situations where Navy assets are exposed to various risks when not at sea.
