OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE NAVY HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES IN IMPROVING OUR ANTITERRORISM/FORCE PROTECTION (AT/FP) POSTURE. REF A, NAVY'S AT STRATEGIC PLAN, PROMULGATED TO IMPLEMENT REF B, PROVIDES SPECIFIC GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. WITH ASSESSMENTS OF THE FLEET AND SHORE INFRASTRUCTURE, VIA FORCE PROTECTION EXERCISES (FPEX), JOINT STAFF AND CNO INTEGRATED VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS (JSIVA/CNOIVA), AND AT PROGRAM REVIEWS, THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE BEST PRACTICES FROM THOSE ASSESSMENTS AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COMMANDING OFFICERS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR AT POSTURE AND PROGRAMS. THIS MESSAGE IS DIVIDED INTO THE FOUR FUNCTIONAL AREAS WHICH REQUIRE FOCUS: REQUIRED WORKING GROUPS, DEVELOPMENT OF AN AT PLAN, TRAINING - ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS, AND RESOURCING. 2. REQUIRED WORKING GROUPS. THESE FORUMS PROVIDE THE NECESSARY OVERSIGHT THAT SUCCESSFUL COMMANDERS USE TO MANAGE THEIR PROGRAMS. THEY SHOULD BE HARD SCHEDULED INTO ANNUAL PLANS AND ATTENDED BY SENIOR DECISION MAKERS. THESE GROUPS INCLUDE: A. ANTITERRORISM WORKING GROUP (ATWG). MEETS SEMI-ANNUALLY OR MORE FREQUENTLY, DEPENDING UPON THE LEVEL OF THREAT ACTIVITY, TO OVERSEE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AT PROGRAM, TO DEVELOP AND REFINE AT PLANS, AND TO ADDRESS EMERGENT OR EMERGENCY AT PROGRAM ISSUES. KEY DECISION MAKERS INCLUDE THE CO, ANTITERRORISM OFFICER (ATO), PRINCIPAL STAFF/DEPARTMENT HEADS, CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, NUCLEAR, OR HIGH-YIELD EXPLOSIVES (CBRNE) EXPERTISE, TENANT UNIT REPRESENTATIVES (INCLUDING HOMEPORTED SHIPS), AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES AS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT AT PLANNING AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. BOTTOM LINE: STRONG INVOLVEMENT BY THE CO IS VITAL TO THE AT/FP SUCCESS OF THE COMMAND. B. THREAT WORKING GROUP (TWG). MEETS SEMI-ANNUALLY OR MORE FREQUENTLY, DEPENDING UPON THE LEVEL OF THREAT ACTIVITY, TO DEVELOP AND REFINE TERRORISM THREAT ASSESSMENTS AND COORDINATE AND DISSEMINATE THREAT WARNINGS, REPORTS, AND SUMMARIES. A DYNAMIC TWG INCLUDES THE CO, ATO, THE PRINCIPAL STAFF, TENANT UNIT REPRESENTATIVES, AND APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATION FROM DIRECT-HIRE, CONTRACTOR, LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL, AND HOST-NATION LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. SUCCESSFUL COMMANDS UNDERSTAND THE THREAT SPECIFIC TO THEIR AREA AND PLAN HOW THEY WILL RESPOND WITH OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS TO DETER AND/OR DEFEAT THAT THREAT. C. AT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (ATEC). THE CORPORATE LEADERSHIP BODY THAT DEVELOPS AND REFINES AT PROGRAM GUIDANCE, POLICY, AND STANDARDS AND ACTS UPON RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ATWG AND TWG. THE ATEC ALSO DETERMINES RESOURCE ALLOCATION PRIORITIES TO MITIGATE OR ELIMINATE TERRORISM-RELATED VULNERABILITIES. MEETS AT LEAST SEMI-ANNUALLY. 3. AT PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THE HIGHEST PERFORMING COMMANDS HAVE CRAFTED AND REGULARLY EXERCISE A COMPREHENSIVE AND TAILORED AT PLAN. THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST SIGNIFICANT DISCRIMINATOR BETWEEN A STRONG PROGRAM AND A WEAK ONE. THE BEST PREPARED COMMANDS DO THE FOLLOWING: A. CONDUCT, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, TERRORISM THREAT, CRITICALITY, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS: THESE ASSESSMENTS ARE THE MAJOR ELEMENTS OF AN AT PLAN. THEY ARE LAID OUT IN REF C, CHAPTER 9. TO FURTHER ASSIST COMMANDS IN THEIR AT EFFORTS, CNO N3AT IS WORKING WITH SPAWAR AND NMCI TO CERTIFY THE JOINT ANTITERRORISM (JAT) GUIDE TO ASSIST AT PLAN DEVELOPMENT. JAT (VER 1.3) IS THE ONLY OSD AND JOINT STAFF APPROVED AT SOFTWARE PLANNING TOOL THAT, WHEN USED IN ITS ENTIRETY, SATISFIES ALL MINIMUM PLANNING ELEMENTS PRESCRIBED IN REF D. OCONUS COMMANDS NOT UNDER NMCI SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE JAT NOW. ANTICIPATE JAT BEING CERTIFIED ON SIPR NMCI DESKTOPS BY JUL 2006. JOINT STAFF WILL ISSUE JAT VER 2.0 IN EARLY 2006. DEFENSE THREAT REDUCTION AGENCY (DTRA) IS ALSO DESIGNING AND FIELDING A PROGRAM CALLED JOINT STAFF INFORMATION SYSTEM PRO (JIS PRO) TO PROVIDE INSTALLATION COMMANDING OFFICERS A TECHNICAL MEANS OF ENTERING (I.E. UPLOAD) SELF ASSESSMENT VULNERABILITIES INTO CVAMP TO AVOID LONG HOURS OF ONLINE TIME ON A SIPR WORKSTATION. CNO N3/N5 WILL PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS ON JIS PRO AS DTRA MAKES THE PROGRAM AVAILABLE. B. INCORPORATE AT PRINCIPLES INTO ALL OPERATIONAL PLANS AND RISK DECISIONS USING THE STANDARDS PRESCRIBED IN REF C AS A BASELINE TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT AT POLICIES. SUCCESSFUL COMMANDS DEVELOP AT PLANS FOR INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS (INSTALLATION, SHIP/SQUADRON, AND SEPARATE FACILITIES) AND FOR EVENTS (EXERCISES, PORT VISITS, DEPLOYMENTS, AND SPECIAL SECURITY EVENTS). C. ENSURE AT PLANS ADDRESS, AT A MINIMUM: (1) THE MINIMUM ESSENTIAL AT PROGRAM ELEMENTS AND STANDARDS FROM REFS C AND D. (2) SPECIFIC THREAT RISK MITIGATION MEASURES TO ESTABLISH A LOCAL BASELINE DEFENSIVE POSTURE. THE LOCAL BASELINE DEFENSIVE POSTURE SHALL FACILITATE SYSTEMATIC MOVEMENT TO AND FROM ELEVATED SECURITY POSTURES, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF RANDOM ANTITERRORISM MEASURES (RAM). (3) AT PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES. (4) AT MEASURES FOR OFF-INSTALLATION FACILITIES, HOUSING, AND ACTIVITIES. (5) AT MEASURES FOR HIGH RISK PERSONNEL (HRP)/HIGH RISK BILLETS (HRB). (6) AT CONSTRUCTION AND BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS. (7) AT MEASURES FOR LOGISTICS AND OTHER CONTRACTING. (8) AT MEASURES FOR CRITICAL ASSET SECURITY. (9) AT MEASURES FOR INTRANSIT MOVEMENTS. (10) TERRORISM INCIDENT RESPONSE MEASURES. (11) TERRORISM CONSEQUENCE MANAGEMENT MEASURES, INCLUDING CBRNE AND WMD MITIGATION PLANNING. (12) FPCON IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES, INCLUDING SITE-SPECIFIC AT MEASURES (13) CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL, AND NUCLEAR (CBRN) DEFENSE JOINT ENABLING CONCEPTS OF SENSE, SHAPE, SHIELD, AND SUSTAIN. 4. TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT. AS WITH ALL COMMANDS, THE ABILITY TO TRAIN AND ASSESS IS VITAL TO SUCCESS. COMMANDING OFFICERS MUST ENSURE THAT AT TRAINING AND EXERCISES ARE AFFORDED THE SAME EMPHASIS AS COMBAT TASK TRAINING. ASSESSMENTS INDICATE THAT STRONG PARTICIPATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS WILL CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO A SUCCESSFUL AT PROGRAM: A. 100 PERCENT PARTICIPATION IN LEVEL I AT AWARENESS EDUCATION ANNUALLY FOR ALL MILITARY, GOVERNMENT, AND CIVILIAN PERSONNEL. B. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE LEVEL II ATO COURSE FOR ALL ATOS ON EACH SHIP, INSTALLATION, SEPARATE FACILITY, AND STATIONARY OR DEPLOYED UNIT, THROUGHOUT THE CHAIN OF COMMAND (SQUADRON, EQUIVALENT-SIZED UNITS, AND ABOVE). C. COMPLETION OF LEVEL III COMMAND AT TRAINING PROVIDES PROSPECTIVE/ CURRENT O5 AND O6-LEVEL CO WITH THE REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE TO DIRECT AND SUPERVISE AT PROGRAMS. D. PARTICIPATION IN THE LEVEL IV AT EXECUTIVE SEMINAR, ADMINISTERED BY THE JOINT STAFF (J3 DD AT/HD), PROVIDES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SENIOR MILITARY AND CIVILIAN EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP WITH THE REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE TO ENABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AT PROGRAM POLICIES AND FACILITATE OVERSIGHT OF ALL ASPECTS OF AT PROGRAMS AT THE OPERATIONAL AND STRATEGIC LEVELS. QUOTAS FOR NAVAL OFFICERS IN THE GRADES OF O6 THROUGH O8 AND CIVILIAN EQUIVALENT/SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES CAN BE OBTAINED FROM OPNAV N3AT. E. COMPLETION OF DETAILED ANNUAL AT PROGRAM REVIEWS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ADEQUACY OF AT PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION. COMMANDING OFFICERS SHOULD USE THIS SELF-ASSESSMENT TO EVALUATE ALL MANDATORY AT PROGRAM ELEMENTS AND ASSESS THE VIABILITY OF AT PLANS IN VIEW OF LOCAL OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT CONSTRAINTS AND CONDITIONS. AT PROGRAM REVIEWS ARE ALSO CONDUCTED WHENEVER THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THREAT, VULNERABILITY, OR ASSET CRITICALITY. SHORE INSTALLATIONS MUST ENSURE THAT AN EXTERNAL AT PROGRAM REVIEW IS CONDUCTED AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 3 YEARS IN THE FORM OF A JSIVA OR CNOIVA. F. COMPLETION OF TRI-ANNUAL JOINT STAFF/HIGHER HEADQUARTERS INTEGRATED VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT. CNO N3/N5, VIA REF E, HAS ISSUED THE JOINT STAFF JSIVA SCHEDULE FOR CY06. WITHIN 90 DAYS OF A COMPLETED ASSESSMENT, PRIORITIZE IDENTIFIED VULNERABILITIES, COMMANDERS SHALL DEVELOP A PLAN OF ACTION TO MITIGATE OR ELIMINATE THE VULNERABILITIES, AND REPORT THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT TO THE FIRST FLAG OFFICER OR CIVILIAN EQUIVALENT DIRECTOR IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. COMMANDING OFFICERS SHALL ALSO ENSURE THAT THE DOD VULNERABILITY DATABASE (THE CORE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (CVAMP)) IS POPULATED WITH ALL ASSESSMENT RESULTS AS REQUIRED BY REF F WITHIN 10 DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF THE FINAL REPORT AND COMPLETION OF A LOCAL ASSESSMENT. JSIVA AND HIGHER HEADQUARTER ASSESSMENTS (HHQ) OUTBRIEFED VULNERABILITIES SHALL BE INPUT INTO CVAMP WITHIN 10 DAYS. 5. RESOURCES. TWO PROGRAMS PROVIDE POTENTIAL SUPPORT TO COMMANDS ASPIRING TO IMPROVE THEIR AT PROGRAMS: A. COMBATING TERRORISM READINESS INITIATIVE FUNDS (CBTRIF) PROVIDE NEAR TERM HELP FOR INSTALLATION COMMANDERS FACED WITH EMERGENT OR EMERGENCY AT REQUIREMENTS. COMMANDERS, ONCE AWARE OF EMERGENT, POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ATFP REQUIREMENTS (AND LACKING OTHER FUNDING SOURCES) SHALL SUBMIT APPROPRIATE, VALID CBTRIF REQUESTS IAW REF G, IN CVAMP. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT PHYSICAL SECURITY EQUIPMENT (PSE) SOUGHT VIA CBTRIF PROCESS IS IN ALIGNMENT WITH CURRENT PSE ACQUISITION STRATEGY TO ENSURE THAT PROJECTS ARE SUPPORTED BY NAVY IN THE OUT YEARS. THESE REQUESTS ARE SUBMITTED TO THE CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF (JCS) AND COMBATANT COMMANDER (COCOM) VIA THE APPROPRIATE NAVY COMPONENT COMMANDER. B. THE AT BUDGET EXECUTION EVALUATION WILL BE PROMULGATED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THIS PROGRAM IS ANTICIPATED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE AT STRATEGIC PLAN BUT WILL NOT BE EVALUATED UNTIL THE NEW DOD 2000.16 IS ISSUED (IN MID 2006) AND AFTER THE NEW DTRA-IVA BENCHMARKS HAVE BEEN APPROVED. 6. AT IS MUCH LIKE DAMAGE CONTROL; IT IS AN ALL HANDS EVOLUTION. AN ALL HANDS APPROACH TO AT AND THE PROVEN PRACTICES LISTED ABOVE WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE READINESS IN THIS CRITICAL MISSION AREA. 7.
