The exercise was part of Citadel Shield-Solid Curtain 2025 (CS-SC25), an annual, two-part force protection Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) and U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC)-led exercise that is taking place Feb. 3 through 14 at all continental U.S. Navy installations.<\/p>\n

CS-SC25 is designed to enhance the training and readiness of Navy security personnel and better prepare Department of the Navy (DoN) personnel for potential force protection situations.<\/p>\n

“Our security personnel operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” said NAS Pensacola Installation Training Officer Erich Brinkmeir. “Although this exercise is not held in response to any specific threat, it’s important that we train for a variety of realistic threats to enhance our personnel and force-wide readiness.”<\/p>\n

Brinkmeir said that the exercise stress-tests NAS Pensacola’s ability to disseminate information and put into action individual response plans and security force responses while testing their ability to coordinate with local emergency responders and the community.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re committed to safeguarding life, equipment and facilities, and training like this helps us do that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brinkmeier said scenarios during Citadel Shield \u2013 the first week of the exercise, led by CNIC \u2013 included the active shooter drill and hostage scenario, which members of the NAS Pensacola Anti-Terrorism Training Team (ATTT) used to gauge readiness from responding NAS Pensacola Naval Security Forces personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking sure that all of the different entities on base are aligned can help our Naval Security Forces personnel more effectively do their job,\u201d he said. \u201cCommunication during any event is critical in ensuring the safety of our most valuable assets \u2013 the men and women here \u2013 which is crucial to our ongoing mission of supporting the commands which train the best aviators, aircrewman, aviation maintenance personnel and cyber warfare specialists in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second week of the annual Navy-wide exercise \u2013 Solid Curtain, led by USFFC \u2013 is centered around NAS Pensacola\u2019s capability of exercising Navy Command and Control (C2) capabilities and evaluating the readiness and effectiveness of fleet and installation force protection programs.<\/p>\n

The two-part approach is designed to enhance the readiness of U.S. Navy security forces and ensure seamless interoperability among the commands, other services and agency partners in order to protect life, equipment and facilities.<\/p>\n

NAS Pensacola, referred to as the “Cradle of Naval Aviation,” is designed to support operational and training missions of tenant commands, including Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC), Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT), Marine Aviation Training Support Groups (MATSG) 21 and 23 and is the headquarters for Naval Education and Training Command (NETC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
