The exercises scheduled for the week are performed to meet annual requirements as by the Air Force. Installation Inspection Team members, who will be wearing bright-yellow reflective vests, will evaluate the response to the exercise events throughout the week, according to the base.
Next week’s training comes around nine months after a false active shooter incident ocurred in August 2018. The incident resulted in a military service member discharging multiple rounds of ammunition from an assault rifle.
A “poorly planned and executed” base exercise caused a chaotic response to the August false alarm, according to a report about the incident released in December. An uncoordinated response from law enforcement in August could have resulted in “serious injury and property damage” and terrified staff and civilians in a hospital filled with “fog and friction,” the report stated.
