FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — August is Antiterrorism Awareness Month. We all have a role in protecting Fort Leonard Wood, our teammates and surrounding communities from threats.
Fort Leonard Wood has multiple layers of security, such as entry control procedures, law enforcement and security measures — including vehicle inspections, health and welfare checks, parking monitoring and ID checks — that randomly change to make it difficult for threats to predict our behaviors and exploit vulnerabilities.
Our law enforcement officers and security personnel protect our community, but it takes everyone’s vigilance to make the program effective. Every person is a sensor.
If you notice something that does not seem right — such as an unattended bag, unknown personnel in secured areas, suspected extremist activities, or someone asking questions about sensitive information without a need to know — take note of the details and report it to the Directorate of Emergency Services at 573.596.6141, or by using the iWatch reporting system.
Provide key details about the situation including number and description of people involved, description of the activity, the location and time where the activity occurred, and any equipment or items involved. Persistent vigilance and leader focus on antiterrorism measures reduce vulnerabilities and mitigate threats.
For more information about Antiterrorism Awareness Month, antiterrorism awareness training, reporting suspicious activities and other concerns, call the Fort Leonard Wood Antiterrorism Office at 573.563.5507 or 5127.
We are very proud of each member of this team and the work you collectively do to keep our community safe.
