Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2011 will be conducted on naval bases and installations throughout Navy Region Northwest from Feb. 21-25. 

This annual exercise is designed to enhance the training and readiness of Navy security personnel to respond to threats to installations and units.  Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2011 is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly-scheduled exercise. 

There may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases and severe restrictions to base access. Area residents may also see increased security activity associated with the exercise. More information on specific traffic and base access issues will be promulgated the week of 14 FEB.
