Since we last reported in 1997, DOD has improved its antiterrorism/force protection (AT/FP) program. Improvements have been made at the Joint Staff, the geographic combatant command, and the installation levels. Specifically, more guidance is available to help develop and implement programs; many physical security vulnerabilities have been corrected; and in cases where vulnerabilities cannot be corrected, commanders have taken actions to mitigate potential damage. Such actions included adding fragment retention film to windows, installing barriers, moving personnel into base housing, erecting fences, and moving parking lots. Although improvements in AT/FP have been made, physical security and procedural problems (i.e., a lack of personnel alerting systems and access control and AT/FP plans) continue to put U.S. forces at risk of terrorist attack.
Since the attack on Khobar Towers in June 1996, the Department of Defense (DoD) has made significant improvements in protecting its service members, mainly in deterring, disrupting and mitigating terrorist attacks on installations. The attack on USS COLE (DDG 67), in the port of Aden, Yemen, on 12 October 2000, demonstrated a seam in the fabric of efforts to protect our forces, namely in-transit forces.
This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.
This Installation Commanders Guide is intended to serve two major purposes. It explains to Installation Commanders the most important things they must do to enhance the AT/FP Program on their installations. More specifically it disseminates these in the form of critical AT/FP tasks to include key actions to accomplish these tasks. Secondly this guide will serve as an information source and a reference where commanders can find assistance on specific aspects of AT/FP. For example, commanders can find information on training of personnel and sources that may he contacted for further assistance. In this sense, the guide should he a valuable reference tool.
