WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nov. 9, 2010) -- The Army today released its internal
follow-on review of force protection policies, programs and procedures
in the wake of the November 2009 shooting at Fort Hood. The report, the
Army's portion of the larger Department of Defense-led effort, outlines
concrete and specific actions to mitigate threats, better ensure force
protection and more effectively share information across organizations.
The entire report can be found at HERE.
“This tragedy caused us to take a hard look at ourselves over the last
year," said Secretary of the Army John McHugh. “We are committed to
ensuring the men and women and their families, who step forward and
serve in these very challenging times, can rely upon us to take care of
them in every way possible,” he said.
To date, the Army has implemented or is taking definitive action on 66
of the 79 DoD Independent Review Panel recommendations. (DOD is the
lead agency for the remaining 13 recommendations and the Army is working
with DOD to determine specific future actions.)
"While we know we can never eliminate every potential threat, we've
learned from the events at Fort Hood,” said Chief of Staff of the Army
Gen. George W. Casey, Jr. “We have made significant progress,
particularly in threat awareness and reporting, coordination in
intelligence sharing, and training for our security forces, but our work
is not done."
To date, the Army has instituted several major changes as a result of the Internal Review, to include:
- Developed and implemented the Threat Awareness and Reporting Program.
Centered on identifying and reporting 'insider threats' and emphasizing
Soldier awareness and reporting, this new program created the
Counterintelligence Fusion Cell and developed systems to improve
information sharing within the Army and with other agencies.
- Developed and implemented the iWatch and iSalute programs. The iWatch
program is a 21st Century version of the neighborhood watch program and
integrates terrorism prevention and suspicious activity reporting. The
iSalute program is an online counterintelligence reporting system
through the Army's main intranet and primary web portal, Army Knowledge
Online. Soldiers, Family members and Department of the Army employees
can now electronically file reports that will initiate an interview with
Army counterintelligence personnel.
- Provided Army security force personnel access to the National Crime
Information Center for screening of personnel at installation visitor
centers. This has enabled the Army to quickly verify personnel records
and screen for past criminal records.
- Established the Army Personnel Security Investigation Center of
Excellence at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., to oversee an enhanced
screening program. This center now serves as the central submission and
processing point for all Army personnel security and suitability
background investigations. It better ensures a comprehensive quality
review of all Army personnel background investigations and has reduced
the overall processing time for a security clearance or employment
suitability determination by 80 percent.
- Implemented training programs to increase information sharing.
Through cooperation with civilian law enforcement and other
organizations, the Army has leveraged proven best practices to increase
training and improve coordination with federal, state and local law
enforcement, all in an effort to maintain better situational awareness.
- Implemented training to increase incident response capability and
leveraged civilian law enforcement best practices to improve the Army’s
ability to respond. To date, more than 23,000 security force personnel
have received additional training in law enforcement functions. More
than 2,700 Army law enforcement personnel at 122 Army installations have
undergone training in how to respond to an 'active shooter' scenario.
- Added “active victim” training to the Army’s annual anti-terrorism
awareness training, in order to train our work force on actions to take
if caught in an active shooter event.
- Instituted a traumatic event management program that has trained 95 medical specialists and chaplains to date.
- Upgraded telephone alert systems on 26 installations to comply with information assurance and network standards.
- Fielding automated screening devices for access control to nine installations by the end of FY 11.
“Taken individually, no single action would have prevented the tragedy
at Fort Hood. However, in the aggregate, the initiatives outlined by
the Army’s internal review will improve the Army’s ability to mitigate
internal threats, better ensure force protection, enable emergency
response and provide care for the victims and families,” said Maj. Gen.
Robert Radin, who led the Army’s Internal Review team. “There is much
more to do and the Army is committed to doing all it can as we continue
as part of a larger DoD effort.”
The Army’s Internal Review team included representatives from the
Headquarters, Department of the Army staff and received input from Army
Commands, Direct Reporting Units and the Army National Guard. The teams
visited 17 installations world-wide and surveyed 84 installation
commanders. During the installation visits, teams met with senior
mission commanders, installation commanders and key staff and conducted
detailed interviews.
Informed by the recommendations of the Radin report, Secretary McHugh
has designated the Deputy Chief of Staff G-3/5/7 as the Army Staff lead
for the Army Protection Program. In this role, the G-3/5/7 will
integrate and synchronize all components of the Army Protection Program.

In a sense it may, be compared to compared random radio format, but mystuffnow has three dedicated day parts. These day parts include a morning, evening and overnight separate music selection. The morning and afternoon have a selection of classic rock and current hot hits. To make the station more unique a new track, or tracks from the overnight day part have been added to make the station stand out from traditional stations that broadcast locally. The overnight day part is called “After Hours” and mimics the general principals of a quiet storm programming style where as there are fewer commercials and the music is more adult in nature, not just in lyrics but the music is more unique, offering international and slower tracks. This is meant for relaxation or whatever you may be doing in the late night hours.
