HURRICANE EXERCISE/CITADEL GALE (HURREX/CG) 2023 is an annual hurricane preparedness/ disaster response and recovery exercise conducted by Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) and Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC). All Navy regions and installations on the eastern seaboard and the Gulf will be actively participating in the exercise.
“Our participation in the Navy's annual Hurricane Exercise/Citadel Gale (HURREX/CG) is a reflection of our steadfast commitment to preparedness and resiliency,” said Cmdr. Michael Mosi, Commanding Officer, Naval Support Activity Panama City. “This exercise affords us the opportunity to not only test our own capabilities but also to work alongside our local and state partners to ensure a coordinated response in the event of a natural disaster.”
HURREX/CG 2023 is designed to train and enhance shore and afloat commands destructive weather preparedness and recovery plans prior to the onset of hurricane season. The exercise also creates opportunities for fleet and installation teams to practice their external coordination processes, strengthening relationships with local/state authorities and partners so that the Navy is ready to support during what has been predicted to be an active 2023 hurricane season.
Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within local communities and to normal installation operations, but there may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic around installations or delays in installation access.
