Who determines the frequency of testing and documentation of duress alarms?

The frequency of testing and documentation of duress alarms is determined by the MAJCOM/DET (Major Command/Detachment). This is because the MAJCOM is responsible for establishing guidelines and procedures that ensure compliance with regulatory and operational standards throughout their jurisdiction. They set the policies that dictate how often duress alarms should be tested and documented to maintain operational readiness and ensure that all personnel are properly trained and familiar with the systems in place.

While the Base Security Office and other entities may be involved in the local implementation or adherence to these policies, the overarching authority and responsibility to establish the frequency and requirements rest with the MAJCOM. This ensures consistency and accountability across different bases and units, aligning with the organization's overall security strategy.
