FORT HUACHUCA — In order to be trained and ready for an unexpected emergency event, Fort Huachuca conducts its annual Antiterrorism and Force Protection Full-Scale Exercise Sept. 7.
All personnel and visitors should be aware of possible increased security measures and delays at access control points, to include Fort Huachuca gates, during the exercise. There may be traffic delays. Everyone is asked to plan accordingly and give full cooperation.
While we make every effort to limit the amount of disruption to organizational missions and services to our customers, knowledge gained through this exercise is critical to the installation remaining prepared and responsive in the event of a real emergency.
No details of the scenario will be released prior to the exercise in order to enhance the degree of realism.
This training enables leaders to evaluate skills necessary to respond to increased threats or emergencies and execute sustained operations at heightened levels to validate Fort Huachuca ability to respond to events with or without warning.
The purpose of the exercise is to identify strengths and weaknesses in providing a safe and secure environment for Fort Huachuca residents and personnel.
Our annual force protection exercise gives us the opportunity to reinforce our strong relationships with community partners, non-governmental organizations and the private sector, to include employing mutual aid and assistance and providing interoperability.
The exercise will use selected standards from the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program as a metric to measure the installation's readiness and response capabilities.
For updated exercise information will be posted on Channel 97 (the commander's access channel), the U.S. Army Fort Huachuca Facebook page, @Fort_Huachuca on Twitter or call the critical information hotline 520-538-4636.
Good ole fort huachakkaka. What planet is this fort on? Is it an Indian casino?
Ft. Hoochie-koochie is on a military reservation. Its presence dates back as far as the white-eyes can see.
Apache territory, not many long knives there, small Fort Kimosabe.
In the 60’s the enlisted housing was the clapboard housing complete with a trapdoor in the floor. Reportedly they were the officers housing from the older times when horses were the preferred mode of transportation there by the 10th cavalry. The lightning storms there were remarkable. The name comes from an obscure, local Indian language which, when loosely translated, describes a “place of thunder”. I agreed with that after a years posting there in 68-69.
Stationed there several time. Good ‘ol Fort We-got-cha
Not in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there.
We will use the force no more forever.
