This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events that took place on September 16, 2013 at the Washington Navy Yard were shocking and tragic. Twelve innocent lives were lost that day, along with several injured. While much of the security of this horrific event will rightly focus on how someone in Aaron Alexis' mental state was able to pass a Governmental background investigation and to hold a security clearance, today's hearing will concentrate on the physical preventative security measures that are currently in place for Federal facilities. How do we control access to these facilities to protect both employees and public visitors? What physical security measures, if any, can be taken to prevent future tragedies?

Book The Washington Navy Yard Shootings

Download or read book The Washington Navy Yard Shootings written by Stanley R. Wallace and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 16 September 2013, Aaron Alexis, a Navy contractor employee with a Secret security clearance, shot and killed 12 U.S. Navy civilian and contractor employees and wounded several others at the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was also killed. Alexis was employed by The Experts, Inc, a private information technology firm cleared under the National Industrial Security Program. The Experts was a subcontractor to Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services, which was performing work under a contract with the Department of the Navy. Alexis had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor employee and used his valid building pass to gain entry to Building 197. Shortly after his arrival in the building and over the course of about one hour, Alexis used his Remington 870 shotgun and a Beretta handgun he obtained during the attack to kill 12 individuals and wound 4 others before he was shot and killed by law enforcement officers. On September 30, 2013, the Secretary of Defense initiated concurrent independent and internal reviews to identify and recommend actions that address gaps or deficiencies in DoD programs, policies, and procedures regarding security at DoD installations and the granting and renewing of security clearances for DoD employees and contractor personnel. This book discusses and provides an overview of the Washington Navy Yard Shooting. It also provides insight on the security from within.

  • ISBN : 9781457854316
  • Pages : 86 pages

Download or read book Security from Within written by Paul N. Stockton and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Sept. 16, 2013, Aaron Alexis, a Navy contractor employee with a Secret security clearance, shot and killed 12 U.S. Navy civilian and contractor employees and wounded several others at the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was also killed. This is the report on the shooting by the Independent Review Panel appointed by the Dept. of Defense (DOD). It identifies structural gaps and weaknesses in DOD security programs, policies and procedures. The recommended changes are fundamental and far-reaching, and reflect the need to replace the underlying premise of installation and personnel security. For decades, DOD has framed installation security as a perimeter problem. This paradigm is outdated. Threats to personnel and classified information increasingly lie within our installations, and come from DOD employees and contractors who are trusted insiders. DOD needs to strengthen security from within, and reframe its policies and programs to counter insider threats. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Alexis was assigned to a project at the Washington Navy Yard and began working there on Sept. 9, 2013. The Dept. of Defense (DOD) conducted an exhaustive examination of Alexis' historical record provided by the Dept. of the Navy and applicable personnel security and installation access policy. It also analyzed previous incidents in which an insider inflicted significant harm, in order to gain a better understanding of the causes and common characteristics of these events. The results of the team's examinations provide the basis for the findings and recommendations in this report. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Book Pearl Harbor

Download or read book Pearl Harbor written by Homer N. Wallin and published by . This book was released on 2001-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearl Harbor will long stand out in mens minds as an example of the results of basic unpreparedness of a peace loving nation, of highly efficient treacherous surprise attack and of the resulting unification of America into a single tidal wave of purpose to victory. Therefore, all will be interested in this unique narrative by Admiral Wallin. The Navy has long needed a succinct account of the salvage operations at Pearl Harbor that miraculously resurrected what appeared to be a forever shattered fleet. Admiral Wallin agreed to undertake the job. He was exactly the right man for it _ in talent, in perception, and in experience. He had served intimately with Admiral Nimitz and with Admiral Halsey in the South Pacific, has commanded three different Navy Yards, and was a highly successful Chief of the Bureau of Ships. On 7 December 1941 the then Captain Wallin was serving at Pearl Harbor. He witnessed the events of that shattering and unifying "Day of Infamy." His mind began to race at high speeds at once on the problems and means of getting the broken fleet back into service for its giant task. Unless the United States regained control of the sea, even greater disaster loomed. Without victory at sea, tyranny soon would surely rule all Asia and Europe. In a matter of time it would surely rule the Americas. Captain Wallin salvaged most of the broken Pearl Harbor fleet that went on to figure prominently in the United States Navys victory. So the account he masterfully tells covers what he masterfully accomplished. The United States owes him an unpayable debt for this high service among many others in his long career.
