Primary Focus
The SME Exercise Planner assists in the development and execution of Citadel Protect exercises to assess the integration of installation and Navy afloat assets berthed in Navy-Controlled CONUS and OCONUS ports. Integrated shore and afloat exercises are conducted in a training environment that closely approximate the real-world operational environment to address the systemic vulnerabilities identified in United States Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) Anti-Terrorism (AT) Program Review, VCNO Task 13-6, and assessment of post real-world events. In addition to Citadel Protect requirements, Harbor Security Unit Training Assist Visits (TAV) are conducted to provide training on promulgated tactics, techniques and procedures, pre-planned responses, and Standard Operating Procedures. Harbor Patrol Unit Training Assist Visits include crew-served weapons, use-of-force decision and communication between the coxswain and gunner training. Exercises will simulate real-world scenarios such as small boat attacks (single/multiple), vessels in restricted areas and pier active shooter scenarios. High-speed small boat operating & maneuvering, and simultaneous weapons firing training will also be incorporated into scenarios. This position performs all duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Mission, Vision, and Core Values of Cayuse.
