NAVAL BASE GUAM (Aug. 23, 2022) Sailors and base security from U.S. Naval Base Guam's (NBG) Navy Security Forces (NSF) simulated an active threat scenario on NBG. The exercise is one of several assessments that are taking place this week as part of Exercise Citadel Pacific 2022 (CP22). The exercise included role players, some acting as aggressors and victims, while force protection teams simulated the appropriate security response. The annual force protection exercise is designed to enhance the readiness and capability of Navy security forces to respond to internal or external threats onboard installations. Exercise CP22 is not in response to any specific threat but is a regularly scheduled exercise. Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base operations, but there may be times when exercise events cause increased traffic around the installation, occasional delays in base access, and gate closures. Area residents may also see increased security force activity associated with the exercise. Advanced coordination has taken place with local law enforcement and first responders. As part of the exercise, the Giant Voice (GV) public address systems at NBG installations will be activated, and residents in surrounding areas will hear exercise announcements regarding force protection conditions throughout the week. The use of the GV system adds realism to the exercise. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Logistics Specialist (Submarine) Christian Dadino)
