Force Protection Plan Writing Seminar for Army National Guard
Our team of force protection specialists developed an in-depth training seminar
that describes the format, content, and methodology for writing a DoD installation
Force Protection Plan. This one-day seminar included discussion on the importance
of force protection planning, an overview of the format prescribed by DoD, a
section-by-section description of the content that should be included in a plan,
and a discussion on how to research, collect, and organize information for your
force protection plan. This seminar can be expanded into a detailed three-day workshop
on force protection plans writing.
Force Protection Plan for NAS Patuxent River
We produced and continue to maintain a comprehensive Force Protection Plan for a
key research and development Naval Air Station (NAS) in Southern Maryland. This
all-inclusive plan describes in detail the duties and responsibilities of the
installation's antiterrorism officer, public works, police, medical clinic, and
other key departments in moving the installation between the five different levels
of force protection conditions (FPCONs). Additionally, this plan contains detailed
graphics and maps depicting alternate traffic routes, police patrol routes, barrier
plans, and guard posts. An important component of this plan is the description of the
coordination required at the different Force Protection Condition levels between the
installation and the surrounding civilian community and responder agencies. This plan
is available to the NAS in both hard and soft copy. A dynamic version is also available
that can be used as a command and control program during an exercise or actual crisis.
Vulnerability and Risk Assessments for Norfolk Navy Shipyard
We produced a thorough assessment of the Norfolk Navy Shipyard, describing in detail
the shipyard's vulnerabilities to criminal or terrorist attack. Looking at not only
security equipment and systems, RMC also evaluated procedures and plans for force
protection including all aspects of physical security, the shipyard's force protection
operational readiness posture, structural features, and the critical infrastructure
components of the shipyard. Just as important, RMC also provided recommendations to
remove or mitigate these vulnerabilities. As a companion piece to this comprehensive
vulnerability assessment, RMC provided a Risk Assessment that used matrix methodology
and an objective value rating system to determine the relative risk of the shipyard's
critical assets to terrorist attack. The shipyard will use this assessment in
conjunction with its vulnerability assessment to make budget and resource decisions on
how to improve the force protection posture of the installation.
