Who decided on these designs in these areas? That's part of the confusion. Did the Sector TI people
weigh in or was it the (b) (6) of the world deciding for them?

All,

We are reaching out to each of your sectors to verify what type of vehicle fence design you require in
your AOR’s. I’ve attached a spread sheet that identifies map ID and planned mileage. Would you please
fill in the block that stipulates fence type and send it back to me. Please keep in mind that the design
should be operationally driven. If you anticipate that your vehicle fence may need to incorporate
pedestrian fence in the future because of operations then VF-1 (rail on post) should be selected over
VF-2 (Normandy style). Consequently if the terrain is harsh and rocky, severely sloped, sandy soil, etc.
then VF-2 may be the best choice. You guys know your area’s better than most, so we are depending
on your input to ensure you get what you need for your sectors.

Lastly, I will need a brief justification for the designs you picked (VF-1 or VF-2) for each map ID, as well
as why VF was preferred over PF or no fencing in those areas,for future GAO audits.

Thanks
