NORFOLK, Va. (NRMA) – Navy installations within the continental United States will conduct Exercise Citadel Shield - Solid Curtain 2019 (CS-SC 19), Feb. 4-15.
Exercise CS-SC 19 is a two-part, linked anti-terrorism force protection exercise conducted by Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander, Navy Installations Command on all Navy installations in the continental U.S.
“The exercise tests our ability to execute the Navy’s mission in support of Homeland Defense,” said Rear Adm. Charles Rock, the commander of the Navy’s Mid-Atlantic Region. “Through various scenarios, the exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of our Security Forces and it ensures seamless interoperability among the commands, other services, and agency partners so that we are able to protect our people, equipment and facilities.”
Exercise CS-SC 19 is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly scheduled exercise conducted annually.
“During the two-week duration, there may be increased activity on and around our installations across the region,” Rock said. “Our installations and local government partners work very closely together to help mitigate unnecessary disruptions to local traffic and services.”
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within local communities and to normal installation operations, but there may be times when the exercise will cause increased traffic around installations or delays in installation access. Area residents may also see or hear security activities associated with the exercise.
