Gulf Coast (GC) Navy bases will be participating in an annual force protection exercise from Jan. 31 through Feb 11. Exercise Citadel Shield-Solid Curtain 2022 (CS-SC 22) is conducted on all Navy installations in the U.S. It is designed to enhance the readiness of Navy security forces and ensure seamless interoperability among commands, other services and agency partners. Regional Navy commands participating will include NCBC-Gulfport and NAS Meridian, Miss.; NAS-JRB New Orleans; and NAS Pensacola and Whiting Field, Fla. CS-SC allows teams to refine its response to scenarios and enables the base’s security force to work with local law enforcement. The exercise enhances security forces’ training and proficiency to be ready to respond to any type of contingency. Exercise CS-SC 22 is not in response to any specific threat but is an annual exercise. There will be measures to minimize local disruptions in the community and base operations, but there may be times the exercise causes increased traffic delayed access to bases. Residents may also see or hear security activities associated with the exercise. Advanced coordination has taken place with local law enforcement and first responders.
