Q & A: Cutting through the noise of a “shelter in place” status

BY JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Following the “active shooter” response at Washington Navy Yard on July 2, members of the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) population provided feedback about their experiences with staying informed about the shelter in place status enacted on base.

The following questions and answers are in direct response to concerns raised during and after the event. They have been reviewed by the emergency operations center and the command staff.

Q: “I can’t hear or understand the ‘Giant Voice.’ How am I supposed to know what’s going on?”

A: The ‘Giant Voice,’ an outdoor loudspeaker system, is meant to reach anyone on base who is outside and does not have immediate access to other official channels for emergency notifications.

Q: What are the official channels?

A: Official channels include the Navy’s mass communication alert system for employees (email, text, automated calls), the

‘Giant Voice’ speaker system, JBAB’s official Facebook and Twitter accounts, and email notifications from housing partners Hunt and Lincoln. For sponsors with access to the Navy’s intranet, secondary notifications can be set, allowing sponsors to have alerts sent to their spouses/families via text, phone or email.

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

A: Lockdown means travel on base is not permitted on base unless the traveler is part of the official response teams. All travel is restricted. No one may enter or exit the base without permission.

During shelter in place, travel is permitted, but limited to ultimate destinations.

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

A: Unless otherwise specified through officials channels, the gates remain open during a shelter in place status. Anyone entering the base should proceed directly to their ultimate destination and remain there until the all clear is given.

Q: “Why does it take so long for the base to end ‘shelter in place,’ especially when the news is reporting that the incident is over or there’s an ‘all clear’?”

A: The all clear can only be given to the base population through official channels.

In the confusion and chaos of the moment, it is an operational reality that media outlets tend to report incorrect information.

Media outlets are not considered an official channel for getting out the word on the security status of an installation.

Q: “The news channels and other sources were giving regular updates about what was happening at the Navy Yard. Why wasn’t JBAB updating the Facebook page?”

A: Similar to the previous question, the news media’s first instinct is to report what they hear regardless of what has been verified through official channels. As frustrating as it may seem at the time, JBAB’s command staff will not put out unverified information. Sometimes, it may appear that information is being withheld when, in reality, there is simply too much chaos to sort facts from rumor or speculation.

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

A: Facebook is considered an official channel for passing the base security status.

The delay at the conclusion of the July 2nd incident was noted afterward, and the command staff is working to reduce or eliminate this lag in the future. Unless there is an emergency, please refrain from calling the base police to check the security status. Please rely on the official channels for updates.

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

U.S. Cyber Command is expanding these truisms to the cyber domain, and the Cyber Guard exercise -- held June 8-26 in Suffolk, Virginia -- brought together players from the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration, private firms and law enforcement to train to handle cyber operations and ensure all the players know each other and the capabilities each brings to the fight.

The exercise also included participation from U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom.

Speaking to reporters last week, Coast Guard Rear Adm. Kevin E. Lunday, the director of exercises and training at Cyber Command, said the exercise pointed out the need for a persistent training environment for the cyber domain.

Exercise Scenario The Cyber Guard scenario included a major earthquake in Southern California, with all the response that would entail. That was followed “by a series of what seem to be coordinated cyberattacks by a range of different actors that disrupt electrical power, both along the West Coast and the East Coast,” Lunday said.

Under the scenario, banks are affected, oil and gas pipelines and a major commercial port in the United Kingdom are disrupted, and Defense Department information networks -- across the department and across the services -- are attacked, the admiral said.

The exercise scenario included power outages, ATM failures, food shortages and other things that would happen as the result of a real cyberattack, including the intense media interest that would result.

The teams that form the core of Cyber Command’s front line participated in the exercise. “We’re employing the force while we’re building it,” Lunday said. “So some of the teams that were in this exer-

Persistent Training Environment Cyber Guard reinforced the contention that the U.S. government needs a “persistent training environment,” so all operators in the cyber domain can train together, the admiral said. “[For] some of the teams, this is the first time they’ve ever done anything like this,” Lunday said. “What these teams really need … is to have a persistent training environment that we can do this kind of exercise in a closed, simulated network with a live opposing force. We need to be able to do that all the time, day after day after day, in order to be really ready for this, rather than just once or a few times a year.”

The persistent environment must include private-sector entities, he added, because private firms own or operate much of the critical infrastructure in the cyber world. Allied participation also adds to the realism, Lunday said.

The simulated environment -- a cyber range, so to speak -- is just one component of the persistent training environment, Lunday said. Another

component, he told reporters, is a realistic scenario that allows teams to train in combating a range of threats, and another is providing the management and assessments of the exercises.

“Then the final piece is the physical locations that the exercise participants sit in, and then the transport layer that they connect into the exercise from,” Lunday said. “We can do that in a very distributed way from all over the nation, or even internationally, through a transport layer into the exercise environment.”

All these need to come together for a persistent training environment, the admiral emphasized. The Defense Department is working to build this capability, Lunday said, but also is building an interim capability.

“For example,” he explained, “by the end of this year, the core network environment that we used for this exercise, we will refresh that and build it out and enable teams … to connect in smaller, scaled-down, more - scenarios, and do more of that persistent, continuous kind of training that I’m talking about.”

Rain or Shine: JBAB celebrates July 4th at Slip Inn STORY AND PHOTOS

BY JEREMY K. JOHNSON JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS At least 600 people showed up in the rain to party and celebrate American freedom at the 4th of July Block Party held at Slip Inn, July 4.

During the event - which ran from 3 p.m. until after the National Capital fireworks display - families and members of the base population were invited to enjoy games and giveaways.

The party also included free live entertainment by D.J. Chris and cover band Hot Fuzz.

Amber Youngman and her husband, Cryptologic Technician (Collection) 1st Class Chris Youngman, brought their children, Caleb, Ethan and Addison. The family lives on Joint Base Andrews.

“This is our first year living here, and we knew we weren’t ready for the crowds we know will be in downtown D.C.,” said Amber. Pointing to the grassy area where they were camped out in preparation, she added, “I think this is more family oriented.”

They came prepared. The couple set up a canopy above and a tarp below, just in case it rained.

“We anticipated getting some rain, but not as much as we did,” said Chris, referring to the downpours that

soaked the crowd for the first hour of the party.

As the rain came down, D.J. Chris - who was only scheduled to provide music after the fireworks - kicked off tunes on the deck of Slip Inn while patrons and partiers waited out the wetness.

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

As the sky slowly began to clear, Dawn Powell and her team from Warfighter Family & Readiness marketing handed out door prizes to the waiting crowd.

Base police officer, Corporal Michael Lee, shrugged off the liquid sunshine as just another part of the job.

“When you take the job, you know that you’re going to work in all weather conditions,” said Lee. The former soldier and military policeman said protecting JBAB is a rewarding job, and added that seeing people at the Block Party, despite the rain, helped make the day worth it.

“I thought people would get rained out, but it’s clearing,” Lee noted. “Everyone is coming out in the next hour or so. It’ll get real busy. You need security here. You need us to watch out for the kids running around and stuff.”

Amber Youngman, for one, appreciated their presence. “It was easy getting on base,” she explained. “The guards at the front [gate] were really helpful.”
