Following the “active shooter” responseatWashingtonNavy Yard on July 2,membersof the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)population provided feedback about theirexperiences with staying informed about theshelter in place status enacted on base.

The following questions and answers arein direct response to concerns raised dur-ing and after the event. They have been re-viewed by the emergency operations centerand the command staff.

Q: “I can’t hear or understand the ‘GiantVoice.’ How am I supposed to know what’sgoing on?”

A: The ‘Giant Voice,’ an outdoor loud-speaker system, is meant to reach anyoneon base who is outside and does not haveimmediate access to other official channelsfor emergency notifications.

Q: What are the official channels?A: Official channels include the Navy’s

mass communication alert system for em-ployees (email, text, automated calls), the

‘Giant Voice’ speaker system, JBAB’s officialFacebook and Twitter accounts, and emailnotifications from housing partners Huntand Lincoln. For sponsors with access tothe Navy’s intranet, secondary notifica-tions can be set, allowing sponsors to havealerts sent to their spouses/families via text,phone or email.

Q: “Aren’t shelter in place and lockdownthe same thing?”

A: Lockdownmeans travel on base is notpermitted on base unless the traveler is partof the official response teams. All travel isrestricted. No onemay enter or exit the basewithout permission.

During shelter in place, travel is permit-ted, but limited to ultimate destinations.

Q: “Can I enter/leave base during ‘shelterin place’?”

A: Unless otherwise specified throughofficials channels, the gates remain openduring a shelter in place status. Anyone en-tering the base should proceed directly totheir ultimate destination and remain thereuntil the all clear is given.

Q: “Why does it take so long for the baseto end ‘shelter in place,’ especially when thenews is reporting that the incident is over orthere’s an ‘all clear’?”

A: The all clear can only be given to thebase population through official channels.In the confusion and chaos of the moment,it is an operational reality that media out-lets tend to report incorrect information.Media outlets are not considered an officialchannel for getting out the word on the se-curity status of an installation.

Q: “The news channels and other sourceswere giving regular updates about what washappening at the Navy Yard. Why wasn’tJBAB updating the Facebook page?”

A: Similar to the previous question,the news media’s first instinct is to reportwhat they hear regardless of what has beenverified through official channels. As frus-trating as it may seem at the time, JBAB’scommand staff will not put out unverifiedinformation. Sometimes, it may appear thatinformation is being withheld when, in real-ity, there is simply too much chaos to sortfacts from rumor or speculation.

Q: “Facebook said the ‘all clear’ was givenbut base police were still saying we were at‘shelter in place.’ What happened?”

A: Facebook is considered an officialchannel for passing the base security status.The delay at the conclusion of the July 2ndincident was noted afterward, and the com-mand staff is working to reduce or eliminatethis lag in the future. Unless there is an emer-gency, please refrain from calling the basepolice to check the security status. Pleaserely on the official channels for updates.

MEDIA ACTIVITY

It’s an axiom in the military that“you train like you fight.” Another is“the battlefield is a bad place to meetan enemy for the first time.”

U.S. Cyber Command is expandingthese truisms to the cyber domain, andthe Cyber Guard exercise -- held June8-26 in Suffolk, Virginia -- brought to-gether players from the Defense De-partment, the Department of Home-land Security, the FBI, the FederalAviation Administration, private firmsand law enforcement to train to han-dle cyber operations and ensure all theplayers know each other and the capa-bilities each brings to the fight.

The exercise also included partici-pation from U.S. allies, including theUnited Kingdom.

Speaking to reporters lastweek, CoastGuard Rear Adm. Kevin E. Lunday, thedirector of exercises and training at Cy-ber Command, said the exercise pointedout the need for a persistent training en-vironment for the cyber domain.

Exercise ScenarioThe Cyber Guard scenario included

a major earthquake in Southern Cali-fornia, with all the response that wouldentail. That was followed “by a series ofwhat seem to be coordinated cyberat-tacks by a range of different actors thatdisrupt electrical power, both alongthe West Coast and the East Coast,”Lunday said.

Under the scenario, banks are af-fected, oil and gas pipelines and amajorcommercial port in theUnited Kingdomare disrupted, andDefense Departmentinformation networks -- across the de-partment and across the services -- areattacked, the admiral said.

The exercise scenario includedpower outages, ATM failures, foodshortages and other things that wouldhappen as the result of a real cyberat-tack, including the intense media in-terest that would result.

The teams that form the core of CyberCommand’s front line participated inthe exercise. “We’re employing the forcewhile we’re building it,” Lunday said. “Sosome of the teams that were in this exer-

cise are still under development – [theyare] still being staffed and trained.”

Persistent Training EnvironmentCyber Guard reinforced the conten-

tion that the U.S. government needs a“persistent training environment,” soall operators in the cyber domain cantrain together, the admiral said.

“[For] some of the teams, this is thefirst time they’ve ever done anythinglike this,” Lunday said. “What theseteams really need … is to have a per-sistent training environment that wecan do this kind of exercise in a closed,simulated network with a live oppos-ing force. We need to be able to do thatall the time, day after day after day, inorder to be really ready for this, ratherthan just once or a few times a year.”

The persistent environment mustinclude private-sector entities, he add-ed, because private firms own or oper-ate much of the critical infrastructurein the cyber world. Allied participationalso adds to the realism, Lunday said.

The simulated environment -- acyber range, so to speak -- is just onecomponent of the persistent trainingenvironment, Lunday said. Another

component, he told reporters, is a re-alistic scenario that allows teams totrain in combating a range of threats,and another is providing the manage-ment and assessments of the exercises.

“Then the final piece is the physi-cal locations that the exercise partici-pants sit in, and then the transportlayer that they connect into the exer-cise from,” Lunday said. “We can dothat in a very distributed way from allover the nation, or even internation-ally, through a transport layer into theexercise environment.”

All these need to come together fora persistent training environment, theadmiral emphasized. The Defense De-partment is working to build this capa-bility, Lunday said, but also is buildingan interim capability.

“For example,” he explained, “bythe end of this year, the core networkenvironment that we used for this ex-ercise, we will refresh that and buildit out and enable teams … to connectin smaller, scaled-down, more - sce-narios, and do more of that persistent,continuous kind of training that I’mtalking about.”

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

At least 600 people showed up inthe rain to party and celebrate Ameri-can freedom at the 4th of July BlockParty held at Slip Inn, July 4.

During the event - which ran from3 p.m. until after the National Capitalfireworks display - families and mem-bers of the base population were in-vited to enjoy games and giveaways.The party also included free live en-tertainment by D.J. Chris and coverband Hot Fuzz.

Amber Youngman and her hus-band, Cryptologic Technician (Col-lection) 1st Class Chris Youngman,brought their children, Caleb, Ethanand Addison. The family lives on JointBase Andrews.

“This is our first year living here,and we knew we weren’t ready for thecrowds we know will be in downtownD.C.,” said Amber. Pointing to thegrassy area where they were campedout in preparation, she added, “I thinkthis is more family oriented.”

They came prepared. The coupleset up a canopy above and a tarp be-low, just in case it rained.

“We anticipated getting somerain, but not as much as we did,” saidChris, referring to the downpours that

soaked the crowd for the first hour ofthe party.

As the rain came down, D.J. Chris- who was only scheduled to providemusic after the fireworks - kicked offtunes on the deck of Slip Inn whilepatrons and partiers waited out thewetness.

“I figured, ‘I’m already here, sowhy not,’” he quipped.

As theskyslowlybegan toclear,DawnPowell and her team from WarfighterFamily & Readiness marketing handedout door prizes to the waiting crowd.

Base police officer, Corporal Mi-chael Lee, shrugged off the liquid sun-shine as just another part of the job.

“When you take the job, you knowthat you’re going to work in all weath-er conditions,” said Lee.

The former soldier and militarypoliceman said protecting JBAB is arewarding job, and added that seeingpeople at the Block Party, despite therain, helped make the day worth it.

“I thought people would get rainedout, but it’s clearing,” Lee noted. “Ev-eryone is coming out in the next houror so. It’ll get real busy. You need se-curity here. You need us to watch outfor the kids running around and stuff.”

Amber Youngman, for one, ap-preciated their presence. “It was easygetting on base,” she explained. “Theguards at the front [gate] were reallyhelpful.”

Chaplain’s Religious EnrichmentDevelopment Operations

The Chaplain’s Religious Enrichment Development Operations (CREDO) offers

a variety of programs aimed at improving communication, adding resiliency, and

training service members in valuable life skills.

Marriage Enrichment Retreat (MER) - Couples enjoy a free weekend at the Hilton

Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia, where they learn and apply marriage skills such as

communication and problem solving in a fun, small group atmosphere. Using per-

sonality inventories, participants learn that differences in marriages can be ways to

enhance and complete one another in the marriage journey. The next MER is sched-

uled for July 31.

Personal Resiliency Retreat (PRR) - The PRR highlights the essential components

of hindsight, insight, and foresight in order to equip military personnel to accom-

plish the mission. Overall, the goal of a PRR is to give participants an opportunity to

grow and mature as individuals by reflecting on their lives.
