Navy force protection exercise

Navy installations within the United States will be conducting Exercise Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield 2017 (SC-CS17) Jan. 30 through Feb. 10. All Navy installations across Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi will be participating. SC-CS17 is a two-part, anti-terrorism and force protection exercise for all state-side Navy installations. The annual exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of Navy security forces and ensure seamless interoperability among commands, services, and agency partners. Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within local communities and to normal base operations, but there may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in base access. Exercise SC-CS17 is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly scheduled exercise. (Source: Navy Installations Command 01/24/17)
