What is escorted entry?

• A. Individuals without unescorted authority must be escorted by person with RAB.
• B. Any person can enter with supervisor approval.
• C. Only for PL-3 badges.
• D. An automated access feature.

Answer: (C)

Escorted entry is a controlled access practice where someone who does not have uninterrupted, unescorted access must be accompanied by an authorized escort to enter a restricted area. The emphasis here is on the scope of who requires that escort. The correct interpretation is that this requirement applies specifically to PL-3 badges, meaning individuals holding that badge level must be escorted, while other badge levels are not described as needing escorted entry under this policy. This framing helps ensure accountability and tighter control for that particular clearance level. The other options either broaden the rule beyond the PL-3 scope, involve unrelated mechanisms, or mix terminology, which is not what this policy specifies.
