Fix Recommendation

PDS in a tactical environment:

1. The PDS must be located within the limits of the installation and command post, or in an area directly under the commander’s physical control.

2. Continuously viewed Carriers must be used in tactical environments with mobile systems employing inter-shelter cabling.

3. Continuously viewed Carriers may also be used in tactical environments with "fixed facilities" ONLY if it is determined through a documented Risk Assessment that the cost or feasibility to install a Category 2 (Hardened or Alarmed Carrier) is not warranted. If applicable based on the risk assessment STIG ID VULS CS-04.01.01 through CS-04.01.06 may be used for fixed facilities in a theater of operations.

4. ALL PDS in a tactical environment must be included in a well-documented Risk Assessment, for which residual risk has been acknowledged and accepted by the PDS Approval Authority.
