Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While maintaining effective emergency response and preventive measures to counter external threats, the Department is examining with greater attention how it addresses threats originating from disaffected individuals within the force motivated to violence against the force and the nation -- the internal threat. The Panel's review of protecting the force against such threats included but was not limited to: identifying and monitoring potential threats - through gathering, monitoring and acting on information and intelligence, providing time critical information to the right people - through merging and sharing current indicators, employing force protection measures - through maintaining adequate preventive measures to mitigate threats, planning for and responding to incidents - through immediate emergency response as well as the long-term care for victims of attacks and their families. In the years since September 11, 2001 the Department of Defense has devoted significant energy and resources toward improving force protection for its people, their families and its installations. Consequently its facilities are more secure and at reduced risk from a variety of external threats. It is time to devote that same commitment toward force protection against the internal threat.

This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U. S. Secretary of the Army appointed the Fort Hood Independent Review Committee(FHIRC or Committee) and directed it to "conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Fort Hoodcommand climate and culture, and its impact, if any, on the safety, welfare and readiness of ourSoldiers and units." In addressing this mandate, the FHIRC determined that during the time periodcovered by the Review, the command climate relative to the Sexual Harassment/Assault Responseand Prevention (SHARP) Program at Fort Hood was ineffective, to the extent that there was apermissive environment for sexual assault and sexual harassment.As set forth in this Report, specific Findings demonstrate that the implementation of theSHARP Program was ineffective. During the review period, no Commanding General or subordinateechelon commander chose to intervene proactively and mitigate known risks of high crime, sexualassault and sexual harassment. The result was a pervasive lack of confidence in the SHARP Programand an unacceptable lack of knowledge of core SHARP components regarding reporting and certainvictim services. Under a structurally weak and under-resourced III Corps SHARP Program, theSexual Assault Review Board (SARB) process was primarily utilized to address administrative and notthe actual substantive aspects of the Program. While a powerful tool by design, the SARB processbecame a missed opportunity to develop and implement proactive strategies to create a respectfulculture and prevent and reduce incidents of sexual assault and sexual harassment. From the III Corpslevel and below, the SHARP Program was chronically under-resourced, due to understaffing, lack oftraining, lack of credentialed SHARP professionals, and lack of funding. Most of all, it lackedcommand emphasis where it was needed the most: the enlisted ranks.A resonant symptom of the SHARP Program's ineffective implementation was significantunderreporting of sexual harassment and sexual assault. Without intervention from the NCOs andofficers entrusted with their health and safety, victims feared the inevitable consequences of reporting: ostracism, shunning and shaming, harsh treatment, and indelible damage to their career. Many haveleft the Army or plan to do so at the earliest opportunity.As part of the command climate, the issues of crime and Criminal Investigation Division(CID) operations were examined. The Committee determined that serious crime issues on and offFort Hood were neither identified nor addressed. There was a conspicuous absence of an effectiverisk management approach to crime incident reduction and Soldier victimization. A militaryinstallation is essentially a large, gated community. The Commander of a military installation possessesa wide variety of options to proactively address and mitigate the spectrum of crime incidents. Despitehaving the capability, very few tools were employed at Fort Hood to do so. Both the Directorate ofEmergency Services (DES) and the CID have a mandate and a role to play in crime reduction.Each contributed very little analysis, feedback and general situational awareness to the command towardfacilitating and enabling such actions. This was another missed opportunity.The deficient climate also extended into the missing Soldier scenarios, where no onerecognized the slippage in accountability procedures and unwillingness or lack of ability of noncommissioned officers (NCOs) to keep track of their subordinates. The absence of any formalprotocols for Soldiers who fail to report resulted in an ad hoc approach by units and Military Police(MP) to effectively address instances of missing Soldiers during the critical first 24 hours, again withadverse consequences.Consistent with the FHIRC Charter, this Report sets forth nine Findings and offers seventyRecommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 5, 2009 a gunman opened fire at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood, Texas. 13 people were killed and 43 others were wounded or injured. The initial response to the incident was prompt and effective. 2 minutes and 40 seconds after the initial 911 call, installation first responders arrived on the scene. One-and-a-half minutes later, the assailant was incapacitated. 2 ambulances and an incident command vehicle from the post hospital arrived on the scene 2 minutes and 50 seconds later. Leaders at Fort Hood had anticipated mass casualty events in their emergency response plans and exercises. Base personnel were prepared and trained to take appropriate and decisive action to secure the situation. The prompt and courageous acts of Soldiers, first responders, local law enforcement personnel, DoD civilians, and healthcare providers prevented greater loss. As so often happens in our military, lessons already learned have led to a well-developed plan to care for the victims and families involved. The tragedy, however, raised questions about the degree to which the entire Department of Defense is prepared for similar incidents in the future - especially multiple, simultaneous incidents. Following the shooting, Defense Secretary Robert Gates established the Department of Defense Independent Review Board Related to Fort Hood, and asked that we lead the effort. Secretary Gates directed us to report with recommendations to identify and address possible deficiencies in: -DoD programs, policies, processes, and procedures related to force protection and identifying DoD employees who could potentially pose credible threats to themselves or others; -The sufficiency of DoD's emergency response to mass casualty situations at DoD facilities and the response to care for victims and families in the aftermath of mass casualty events; -The sufficiency of the support and care of healthcare providers while caring for beneficiaries suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or other mental and emotional wounds and injuries; -The adequacy of Army programs, policies, processes, and procedures as applied to the alleged perpetrator. In response, we formed a panel of 5 teams to assist in conducting the review and established an advisory board that included senior representatives from each Service, the Joint Staff, and the U.S. Coast Guard. A staff of full-time military, civilian, and contractor subject-matter experts conducted separate, but integrated lines of inquiry related to: -Identification of Internal Personnel Threats -Force Protection -Emergency Response and Mass Casualty -Application of Policies and Procedures -Support to Healthcare Providers The review focused on the non-criminal aspects of the tragedy and the teams had unrestricted access to DoD facilities and personnel, including site visits to Fort Hood. The investigative teams conducted a thorough review of the alleged perpetrator's training and military records along with a quality review of the care he provided to patients during his career. Conducting our review, we have reached a number of conclusions and made several corresponding recommendations; they are reflected in the chapters of this document. In addition to this comprehensive, initial report, the August 18, 2010 Follow on Report is also included in this publication, as Appendix E. These two reports, together, provide the most current information and recommendations from this tragedy.
