• The purpose of this program is provide instruction, practical application, and validation against the Active Shooter threat as it applies to USACAPOC (A), civilian, and military personnel of Lexington Reserve Center.

• The Active Shooter threat is real with increasing frequency. This type of attack only requires minutes for the shooter to engage available targets. It is imperative that personnel be able to apply force protection measures required to mitigate the loss of life when operating in this scenario. This type of threat continues to be problematic in the Military and Civilian sectors. For this reason, the Department of Defense mandated annual training for all its personnel.

902nd MI GP was notified via the Fayetteville, NC Police department that a group of individuals under investigation who had appeared to be Homegrown Muslim extremists turned out to be four Soldiers belonging to the 82nd Airborne Division. The 902nd MI GP along with the 82nd ABN Criminal Investigation Division conducted a joint investigation based on the information provided by the Fayetteville Police. Through surreptitious investigation they discovered a plan to stage an attack against one of several Army Reserve units within the Twin Cities area. The 407th CA BN was selected because of their support of U.S forces conducting operations in the Horn of Africa (HOA). The 902nd MI and CID apprehended the Soldiers, as well as the contents of their barracks rooms. It was discovered that the Soldiers were networked through a social media site with several persons of interest in Somalia from the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab . The individuals planned the attack and requested funding and backing from local Somalian groups located in North Minneapolis.

SITUATION/SCENARIO

UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO

•Once the contact transferred the funds via Pay Pal, two of the four Soldiers traveled to Minneapolis, MN. The purpose of this trip was to meet with a local Somalian groups who agreed to carry out the attack. One of the Somalians worked for a company that had gained prior access to several facilities while working on the Air Conditioning and Heating systems. Through intensive interrogation and investigation, it was determined that April 2015 was the month highly probable for the attack, however, the exact date, time, and method was unable to be attained. The information was further disseminated to the 378th MI CO, Fort Snelling, 88th RSC, Minnesota Fusion center, FBI, and the Ramsey County Sherriff Department for awareness and assistance in the investigation. The information was also passed to the United States Army Reserve Command’s Antiterrorism section for further disseminated to all Army Reserve Centers in the Minnesota area.

• This exercise is divided into five phases.

• During each of the five phases specific training objectives are required to be accomplished prior to advancing to the next. If the objectives are not accomplished, and the participants are not completing the objectives satisfactorily, the controller will assist with a (Pause Ex) in order to review the appropriate steps and associated tasks. The controller should only stop the play to assist the players with the way forward. Minuscule deviations of the associated tasks will be corrected by enhancing the scenario and increasing the difficulty via MESL insertion from the white cell
