Citadel Shield is a field training exercise led by CNIC that focuses on local tactics and procedures. Solid Curtain is a command post exercise led by USFFC that focuses on supporting the naval component commander’s ability to drive an integrated response between commands and security forces across the nation.
The exercise is designed to enhance the readiness of Navy security forces and ensure seamless interoperability among the commands, other services and agency partners. Exercise CS-SC22 is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly scheduled exercise.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within local communities and to normal base operations, but there may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in base access. Area residents may also see or hear security activities associated with the exercise. Advanced coordination has taken place with local law enforcement and first responders.
