SUMMARY

planning involves the use of two defensive measures: 1. Intelligence—Intelligence consists of infor- mation obtained through threat assessment and continuing contacts with the NIS or command intelligence personnel. An organization must have access to intelligence to prepare for or forestall terrorist incidents. 2. Target Hardening and Procedural Safe- guards—Target Hardening and Procedural Safe- guards consist of security measures established to protect critical and sensitive activity assets against terrorist threats. An organization’s safeguards must present an increased cost and risk to professional terrorists. Additionally, each of us plays active roles in safeguarding both property and personnel against terrorism. We should constantly be on guard against suspicious personnel, vehicles, and materials around our work facilities. We should report any suspicious personnel, vehicles, or materials to the security depart- ment. SUMMARY Acts of terrorism directed at naval personnel, activities, or installations have the potential to destroy critical facilities and to injure or kill personnel. They can also impair or delay command missions and cause incalculable damage. This chapter provided information on terrorist methods, terrorist threat types, conditions, and assessments. By understanding those elements of terrorism, you are better prepared to assist in safeguarding yourself, other personnel, installa- tions, and equipment against terrorist activity. Be on the lookout for suspicious personnel, vehicles, and materials on and around your work facility. Call the Security Office if anything appears unusual or suspicious.
