U.S. Naval Base Guam (NBG) will participate in the annual Commander, Naval Installations Command (CNIC) anti-terrorism/force protection exercise Citadel Pacific 2022 (CP22) Aug. 15-19.
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. (JRM)
