Logan Burns, right, with the 143d Expeditionary Sustainment Command, work together to stabilize and apply gauze to the leg of an injured role player during an active shooter drill at King Faisal Air Base, Jordan, May 19, 2023. Knowing how to respond appropriately if an active shooter is present is essential to prevent loss of life. While the run, hide, and fight strategy is commonly taught to Soldiers throughout the U.S. Army, Soldiers assigned at KFAB put their knowledge to the test in a training environment.

WASHINGTON \u2014 The Department of the Army is working on a new Antiterrorism Strategic Plan that is scheduled to roll out this fiscal year.<\/p>\n

The plan, which is being coordinated with the Department of Defense, will update policy, training, exercises and how the Army analyzes and shares information about terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe threats we faced 20 years ago aren\u2019t the threats we face today, nor are they the threats we will face in the future,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Duane R. Miller, Army provost marshal general. \u201cOur adversaries are constantly evolving with the use of technology to identify vulnerabilities. It\u2019s through this strategic plan that we hope to address any vulnerabilities and any threats we may face in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program will help put Army civilians, contractors, Soldiers, and their families on common ground with the service\u2019s antiterrorism goals and objectives moving forward, he added.<\/p>\n

The Army\u2019s Antiterrorism Division worked with multiple federal organizations, including the Department of Homeland Security, as they developed the antiterrorism program. This allowed them to share information on best practices and emerging technologies that could pose a threat.<\/p>\n

Training, education and awareness remain the key elements in the service\u2019s efforts to prevent terrorism at home and overseas, Miller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more aware our community members are, the more likely we are to obtain advanced warning to defend against terrorist attacks,\u201d he said. \u201cConstant vigilance, timely threat reporting, knowledge of antiterrorism prevention measures, and Army leadership advocacy are vital to sustained prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

August is dedicated as Antiterrorism Awareness Month to educate members of the Army on the threat and provide information on how to prevent acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers who are aware of the risks and who report concerning behavior can help prevent threats from impacting the local community,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t be a bystander. Do your part as a member of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Miller, the fight against terrorism has shifted in recent years from terrorist groups overseas to individual domestic terrorists fueled by extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n

To combat the evolving threat, the Army has updated the antiterrorism program and continues to look for ways to improve protection efforts. The service is continuing to field and expand the capability of the Joint Analytic Real-time Virtual Information Sharing System.<\/p>\n

JARVISS is a desktop and mobile application that pulls information from more than 80,000 sources to give commanders real-time data on potential threats, so they can make informed decisions.<\/p>\n

The active shooter portion is part of ORCA 2023, a biennial exercise designed to maintain readiness, validate response procedures, and collaborate with first response agencies across the state. The exercise, hosted by the Alaska National Guard\u2019s 103rd Weapons of Mass Destruction – Civil Support Team, included 12 National Guard units from Alaska, Washington, Nebraska, Mississippi, Kansas, Ohio, Hawaii, and Kentucky, eight local and state entities, three federal agencies, and various community partners.

Along with advances in technology, the Army and the National Guard continue to conduct annual exercises to stay ready. The Ohio National Guard held their\u00a0emergency response exercise in April with support from local emergency services.<\/p>\n

The exercise evaluated how the responding agencies can affect control and containment of the situation as well as the effectiveness of the facilities\u2019 response capabilities.<\/p>\n

National Guard units from 12 states along with multiple federal and local agencies completed an emergency response exercise at the Anchorage Fire Department Fire Training Center in June. The training is designed to maintain readiness, validate response procedures and collaborate with partners.<\/p>\n

These efforts, along with others throughout the service, allow the Army and local partners to stay vigilant in the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must understand the threat and be prepared to prevent any impact on Army readiness,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe\u2019re confident the outcomes from implementing the strategy will align\u00a0policy, training, doctrine, partnerships and information sharing to meet the challenges of terrorism over the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n
