Exercise Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2010 will be conducted on naval bases and installations throughout the continental United States, Hawaii and Guam, from March 22-26. This is the largest AT/FP exercise conducted nationwide.

This annual exercise is designed to train and prepare Navy security personnel to respond to threats to installations and units.  Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield 2010 is a regularly scheduled exercise, and is not in response to any specific threat.

Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base and station operations, but there will be times during this period when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in base access.  Area residents may also see increased security activity associated with the exercise.
