Vol. 13 No. 15
Schriever welcomes spring’s beginning Western style
HHHHH Schriever Air Force Base members will conduct an emergency response exercise April 22-26 as part of the 50th Space Wing’s continued commitment to ensure base readiness. The exercise could affect gate traffic and base travel as different force protection levels are implemented, security measures may be increased, the “Giant Voice” may be activated and AD Hoc notifications will be tested. Movement on the installation may be limited potentially affecting lunch times, activities and service at different buildings. These exercises are vital training tools that ensure our emergency response forces are able to effectively respond to unplanned crisis events. As always, if you see something unusual, say something by calling 719-567-6464.
