Description: Personal safety is important

 Remain alert
 Be aware of your surroundings
 Report suspicious activity
 Pay attention to antiterrorism briefings
 Make security part of your routine
Patience and persistence
Don’t be a tempting target!
Narration: Always remember to stay alert, be aware of your surroundings, and report unusual or

preparing to travel to a new location. Most importantly, make security a part of your routine. Exercise
precautions to increase your personal security and the security of your family, colleagues, and
organization.
Patience and persistence are the watchwords for defeating terrorists. They are patient and cunning,
and are waiting for you to let down your guard or settle into a pattern of predictable behavior. Don't
be a tempting target. Be vigilant so we may successfully defend America and our freedoms.
Lesson 1, Page 3: Threat Factors

Description:
There are eight factors you should consider to understand the threat.
1. Are terrorist groups in the area?
2. Are they violent?
3. Do they attack Americans?
4. How active are they?
5. How sophisticated are they?
6. Are they predictable?
7. Will local citizens warn Americans?
8. What tactics and weapons are used?
Select “terrorism” to learn its definition.
Definition of Terrorism: Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence or threat of violence to instill fear
and coerce governments or societies. Terrorism is often motivated by religious, political, or other
ideological beliefs and committed in the pursuit of goals that are usually political. (JP 3-07.2)
Narration: There are eight factors you should consider to understand the threat in your environment.
Using these factors, you can be better prepared for the potential risks you face.
Are terrorist groups in the area?
Are they violent?
Do they attack Americans?
How active are they?
How sophisticated are they?
Are they predictable?
Will local citizens warn Americans?, and
What tactics and weapons are used?
Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence or threat of violence to instill fear and coerce governments
or societies. Terrorism is often motivated by religious, political, or other ideological beliefs and
committed in the pursuit of goals that are usually political.
Lesson 1, Page 4: How Terrorists Identify and Select Targets
Description:
Consider ways you might become a victim of terrorist attack.
 Location: Avoid possible target locations
 Association: Avoid disclosing your DOD or US Government affiliation
 Opportunity: Terrorists look for “soft targets”
 Predictability: terrorists will attempt to exploit routine patterns of behavior
To attack you, terrorists generally must perceive you, your association, or your location as a target
Narration: Consider ways you might become a victim of a terrorist attack. Several factors to keep in
mind include:
• Location: Terrorists may target locations frequented by Americans or US military personnel such as
4
certain hotels, apartment buildings, public transportation centers, and nightclubs. Avoid possible
target locations.
• Association: Terrorists may focus on American tourists, personnel associated with the US
Government, and individuals who appear to be high-ranking or important. Try to blend in with the
local population. When possible, avoid disclosing your DOD or US Government affiliation.
• Opportunity: Terrorists look for "soft targets." Maintain vigilance, practice good personal safety,
and alert the proper authorities of suspicious behavior.
• Predictability: Terrorists will attempt to exploit routine patterns of behavior, and have been known
to observe their targets well in advance of planned attacks. Try to be unpredictable by varying routes
and times to and from work and other routine destinations.
To attack you, terrorists generally must perceive you, your association, or your location as a target.
Don't be an easy target.

Narration: Groups and individuals have demonstrated their willingness to employ terrorist tactics to
further their agendas. While some threats have a regional focus, others have become international
and affect multiple areas. DOD personnel and assets have been targeted in virtually every region of
the world.
When traveling, you should receive a Combatant Command terrorist threat briefing 90 days prior to
departure. Modify your personal protective measures based upon the information in these briefings.
Threat briefings are based upon intelligence and local historical factors and are designed to help you
be safe - take them seriously. More detailed information for your region is available through your
local Antiterrorism Officer.
Select each Combatant Command to learn more about the terrorist threat in that area. When finished
viewing all Combatant Commands, continue to the next page.
Popup Slide 1:
Within the United States, several organizations and individuals use terrorist tactics to achieve their
goals. Other organizations provide direct and indirect assistance through fund-raising, recruiting, and
training support.
Terrorist attacks by Islamic extremists began in 1993 with the first attack against the World Trade
Center in New York. More recently, the foiled terrorist plot against Fort Dix, New Jersey demonstrates
that Al-Qaida inspired groups still exist within the nation's borders.
Home-grown terrorism is also a reality. During the 1960s and 70s, the Weathermen and the Armed
Forces for Puerto Rican National Liberation executed several small-scale terrorist attacks. More
recently, violent elements include the anti-abortion Army of God, the eco-terrorist Earth Liberation
Front, and other domestic anarchist groups and individuals. Homegrown terrorists have employed
6
various tactics such as rudimentary letter bombs, improvised explosive devices, small arms attacks,
and truck bombs. Bioterrorism is also a concern in view of the anthrax attacks in 2001.
Popup Slide 2:
The primary terrorist threat in the SOUTHCOM region is narcoterrorism and the continued operation
of radical leftist groups. Additionally, the ties between narcoterrorists and radical extremists from the
Middle East are reportedly increasing. It is possible Latin American countries may become a transit
point for terrorists from other parts of the world to enter the United States.
Unlike the 1980s, recent attacks against US interests are focused primarily on businesses and not US
military or government assets. In addition to bombings and arson, terrorist tactics include targeted
assassinations and kidnapping, especially against non-US assets.
Some of the most prominent terrorist organizations within the SOUTHCOM region include the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the Colombian National Liberation Army (ELN), and
the Shining Path in Peru.
Examples of prior terrorist activity in the SOUTHCOM AOR include the Attack on the Japanese
Ambassador's Residence in Peru, Zona Rosa, and Casino Royale.
Popup Slide 3:
Stability in the AFRICOM region is threatened by nationalist, tribal, and ethnic groups that use
terrorist tactics to support their agendas. The region is also threatened by Islamic extremists such as
Al-Qaida, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, Al Shabaab, and Al-Qaida in the Islamic
Maghreb.
The 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania illustrate the willingness of terrorists
to use indiscriminate violence to attack American interests in Africa. Additionally, local ethnic and
nationalist-based conflicts increasingly threaten US corporate infrastructure and personnel.
Terrorist organizations also engage in support activities within the AFRICOM region. These include
fund raising, training, recruiting, operation of front activities, and involvement in criminal enterprises.
Africa has the potential to be a significant transit point and support base for terrorist operations in
other parts of the world.
Examples of prior terrorist activity in the AFRICOM AOR include the African Embassy Bombings,
Paradise Hotel Bombing, and M/V Maersk Alabama Attack.
Popup Slide 4:
Within the CENTCOM region, Islamic extremists pose the primary terrorist threat to US military and
government personnel. Since the mid-1990s, terrorists have enhanced their capabilities and
expanded their influence and presence into other parts of the world.
In the areas of current US military operations, roadside Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) pose one
of the greatest threats to US forces. Additionally, local political leaders, civilians, infrastructure, and
international aid personnel are terrorized by suicide bombings, kidnappings, and murders. In many
other parts of the CENTCOM region, suicide bombers and gunmen target hotels and tourist
attractions to advance domestic political and religious agendas.
Numerous terrorist organizations operate within the CENTCOM region. In addition to Al-Qaida, other
organizations include Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Ansar al-Islam.
7
Examples of prior terrorist activity in the CENTCOM AOR include the Serena Hotel, the Luxor
Massacre at Deir el-Bahri, and Khobar Towers.
Popup Slide 5:
Terrorist groups in the PACOM region present diverse threats to Americans. Some specifically target
Americans and others target public sites where Americans may become victims. Additionally, there is
evidence of ties between groups in the PACOM region and al-Qaida and other international groups.
Terrorist attacks in this region demonstrate a broad spectrum of tactics. These include kidnappings,
suicide bombings, and even chemical attacks. Aleph, formerly known as Aum Shinrikyo, attacked the
Tokyo subway with Sarin nerve gas and cyanide in 1995. Abu Sayyaf, a Philippine group seeking to
create a radical Muslim state, targets Americans for kidnapping.
Terrorists have targeted DOD and other American assets in the region. In 2001, Singaporean officials
foiled a plot to attack US military forces and western diplomatic missions. The group, Jamaah
Islamiya, seeks to create a radical Muslim state across South East Asia. In 2002, 2005, and 2009 it
conducted bombings in Bali and Jakarta, Indonesia to kill western tourists.
Examples of prior terrorist activity in the PACOM AOR include the Bali Nightclub Bombing, the
Singapore Plot, and Tokyo Subway Attack.
Popup Slide 6:
The EUCOM region contains a wide spectrum of terrorist threats. Threats include traditional
nationalist, ethnic, and leftist terrorist groups such as the Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA),
November 17, and the Real Irish Republican Army. The region is also threatened by Islamic extremists
such as Al-Qaida and Ansar al-Islam. Chechen rebels, responsible for several terrorist attacks within
the former Soviet Union, are both Muslim radicals and separatists.
In recent years, US allies in Europe have suffered dramatic terrorist attacks. Terrorists have targeted
civilians with IEDs and suicide bombers for maximum impact on government policies and elections.
US military forces have also come under direct attack by organizations wishing to diminish America's
influence in the area.
Additionally, organizations sympathetic to terrorist objectives actively raise funds, recruit, and
provide other support to religious extremist groups. As seen in the events of 9/11, western Europe
can be a staging area for attacks against the United States.
Examples of prior terrorist activity in the EUCOM AOR include the London Subway Bombing, La Belle
Discotheque Bombing, and the 2011 Norway Massacre.
Lesson 1, Page 8: Terrorist Planning Cycle Overview
Description: Unusual Behavior

 Taking photos or videos
 Writing notes or sketching details.
 Showing abnormal attention to details
 Using false identification
8
 Paying cash for items
Purchasing large quantities of items that could be used for an attack
Narration: Terrorists prepare and conduct attacks through predictable steps. Through vigilance, you
may be able to recognize preparations for an attack before it is executed.
Be alert to unusual behavior that may indicate intelligence gathering, surveillance, collecting
materials for an attack, dry runs, and rehearsals. For example:
• Taking photos or videos of potential targets
• Writing notes or sketching details about a possible target
• Showing abnormal attention to details of routine activities and security measures
• Using false identification
• Paying cash for items normally bought on credit, or
• Purchasing large quantities of items that could be used for an attack (for example, chemicals or cell
phones)
If you see something unusual, report it immediately to security officials for further investigation.
Make a note of the individual's description and activities, the time of day, and equipment being used.
Lesson 1, Page 9: Terrorist Planning Cycle
Description: The slide shows the terrorist planning cycle by having 7 separate popup slides showing
each step.
The Terrorist Planning Cycle
1. Broad Target Selection

2. Intelligence and Surveillance
3. Specific Target Selection
4. Pre-Attack Surveillance and planning
5. Rehearsals
6. Actions on the Objective
7. Escape and Exploitation
Select each phase to learn more about it. When finished viewing all phases, continue to the next
page.
Narration: Terrorists prepare for and conduct attacks through predictable steps or phases. Select
each phase to learn more about it. Each uses the planning and execution of the 1995 attack on the
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City as an example. As you view these, consider how a vigilant
person might have recognized indications of a threat. When finished viewing all phases, continue to
the next page.
Phase 1: Broad Target Selection. During broad target selection, terrorists collect information on
numerous targets to evaluate their potential in terms of symbolic value, casualties, infrastructure
criticality, or public attention.
9
Timothy McVeigh wanted to attack a symbol of the Federal Government, preferably the FBI, Drug
Enforcement Administration, or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He identified possible
targets such as individual Federal employees, their families, and facilities in at least five states.
Phase 2: Intelligence and Surveillance. Vulnerable targets able to meet attack objectives are selected
for additional intelligence gathering and surveillance. This effort may occur quickly or over years
depending upon the target and planning information needed. Terrorists seek to gather detailed
information on guard forces, physical layout, personnel routines, and standard operating procedures.
McVeigh performed initial surveillance of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, one of his
potential targets. He noted the interstate highway allowed easy access and possible escape routes.
He also observed indented curbs that permitted vehicles to be parked directly in front of the building.
Phase 3: Specific Target Selection. Specific targets are then identified for attack based on anticipated
effects, publicity, consistency with overall objectives, and costs versus benefits of the attack.
McVeigh chose the Murrah Federal Building because he believed the Federal agencies represented
there were responsible for the incident in Waco, TX two years earlier. In addition, he assessed the
facility as a "soft target," with a good chance of success at low risk. His intent was to kill Federal
employees and thereby gain media attention.
Phase 4: Pre-Attack Surveillance and Planning. Terrorists may conduct additional surveillance to
confirm previous information and gain additional details. During this stage, terrorists will select the
method of attack, obtain weapons and equipment, recruit specialized operatives, and design escape
routes.
McVeigh recruited Terry Nichols and prepared for the Oklahoma City attack over a six-month period.
He acquired materials for a 5,000-pound truck bomb through theft, use of false documents, and
paying cash for items normally bought on credit. He also made several trips to the Murrah Federal
Building to identify the exact place to park the truck and to select escape routes.
Phase 5: Rehearsals. Terrorists often rehearse the attack scenario to confirm planning assumptions,
enhance tactics, and practice escape routes. They may also trigger an incident at the target site to
test the reaction of security personnel and first responders.
McVeigh practiced making and detonating bombs in isolated locations. He memorized details of the
Murrah Building layout, finalized the sequence of actions for the attack, and practiced responses to
law enforcement officers if they were encountered.
Phase 6: Actions on the Objective. Terrorists choose to execute attacks when conditions favor success
with the lowest risk. Factors they consider include surprise, choice of time and place, use of
diversionary tactics, and ways to impede response measures.
On 19 April 1995, McVeigh parked a rental truck - a 5,000-pound vehicle bomb - in front of the
Murrah Federal Building where it could cause the most damage. The date of the bombing was
symbolic - the second anniversary of the fire at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, TX.
Phase 7: Escape and Exploitation. Unless an operation is a suicide attack, escape routes are carefully
planned and rehearsed. Terrorists may exploit successful attacks by releasing pre-developed
statements to the press.
After preparing the bomb for detonation, McVeigh walked away from the scene on a preselected
10
route. To flee Oklahoma City, McVeigh used a get-away car pre-positioned before the attack.
McVeigh wanted the world to know that he attacked the Federal Murrah Building because he
believed the Federal Government infringed on individual rights of Americans. McVeigh left a file on
his sister's computer titled "ATF Read" echoing these sentiments. His get-away car contained anti-
government literature and he subsequently made statements concerning his motivations for the
attack.
Lesson 1, Page 10: Force Protection Conditions
Description: The slide shows the way military organizations operate to enforce force protection
conditions.
Narration: US military facilities use a variety of protective measures to reduce vulnerability to

terrorist attack. These measures are organized in a system called Force Protection Conditions, or
FPCONs. As the threat changes, Commanders change the FPCON to protect personnel.
FPCONs are organized in five levels with increasing measures of protection: NORMAL, ALPHA, BRAVO,
CHARLIE, and DELTA. Commanders adapt protective measures for the local situation, and they can
use additional measures and move to a higher FPCON as needed. Measures may also be added
randomly to rehearse them, to promote security awareness, and to confuse surveillance by potential
threat elements.
As the FPCON increases, you can expect to experience delays at gate checks, more detailed
inspections, gate closures, and increased guard presence. FPCON CHARLIE and DELTA are very
restrictive and rarely used. Normal operations may be reduced or suspended in these cases.
Lesson 1, Page 11: FPCON Quiz 1

Description:
Force Protection Condition DELTA means that your base is at which one of the following?
A. A medium level of protection

B. The least increased level of protection
C. The most increased level of protection
Correct answer: C, the most increased level of protection.

Narration:
Force Protection Condition DELTA means that your base is at which one of the following?
11
Lesson 1, Page 12: National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)
Description: The Slide describes and explains what NTAS is and what it does.
Narration:
The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security
Advisory System. The NTAS is designed to communicate information about terrorist threats by
providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders,
transportation hubs, and the private sector.
Under the NTAS, the Department of Homeland Security will issue alerts when credible information
concerning a threat is available. Alerts provide recommended steps that individuals, communities,
businesses and governments can take to help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat. Broadly
issued alerts will be issued through media and official channels; however, members of the public can
also register to receive alerts directly through email and social media websites.
The NTAS only applies to the United States and its possessions. For international travel, consult the
relevant State Department travel advisories. For information on the NTAS and State Department
travel advisories, please see the External Links section under Resources.

Lesson 2, Page 2: AT Fundamentals
13
Description: The slide contains 4 popup slides that have descriptions of the 4 elements of AT
Fundamentals.
Four AT Level I Themes
Anticipate: Anticipate foreseeable threats, make choices that reduce risk.

Anticipating threats, risks, and vulnerabilities is fundamental to antiterrorism and personal security.
By doing this, you can make choices that enhance your personal protection.
Ways to do this include:

• Researching criminal activity in your area
• Understanding the tactics and techniques commonly used by criminals and terrorist organizations
in the area
• Knowing the types of targets and locations that have been selected for illegal activity
Consider consulting these sources:

• Police crime reports
• Other internet and media resources
These will help you:

• Anticipate and avoid high crime areas
• Identify appropriate security measures
• Recognize possible threats and respond appropriately
• Develop security and emergency plans for the home and family
Planning ahead can enhance your security while at home, work, and other locations.
Be Vigilant: Remain alert, note changing conditions and suspicious activities.

Vigilance is required to continuously observe your surroundings and recognize suspicious activities.
The first step to vigilance is to understand your environment's normal conditions. To do this, try to
observe and learn the patterns of routine activities in your area.
When you have an instinct for what is normal, you can more readily recognize things that are
suspicious:
• Potential threats such as items that are out of place

• Attempted surveillance by persons loitering, following you, or simply in the wrong place
• Circumstances that correspond to prior criminal activity in your area
Informed vigilance is fundamental to personal security. Even within the United States, you may
observe activity leading up to a terrorist attack. Be vigilant and report things that look suspicious to
your organization's security officer or other appropriate authorities.
Don’t Be a Target: Be anonymous, control access, be unpredictable.

Not all threats are predictable or can be recognized in advance. As a result, you should concentrate
on not being an easy target for attack.
14
Reduce your exposure by being anonymous and blending in with your surroundings:
• Do not wear clothing or carry items that might attract criminal attention
• Remain low key and do not draw attention to yourself
• Avoid places of high criminal activity
In addition to blending in, try to reduce your vulnerability and exposure:
• Select places with security measures appropriate for the local threat
• Be unpredictable and vary your routes and times of travel
• Travel with a friend or in a small group
• Use automobiles and residences with adequate security features
You can greatly increase your personal protection posture by remaining anonymous and reducing
your exposure.
Respond and Report: Respond appropriately, report suspicious or threatening activities.
Report suspicious activities to appropriate authorities immediately. And, when threatened, respond
to protect yourself and others. Specific circumstances may require different responses; however, in
general:
• Report suspicious activity, do not try to deal with it yourself
• In threatening situations, take steps to reduce your exposure
• Follow the instructions of emergency personnel and first responders
Security is a team effort. Try to ensure your actions help trained security personnel do their jobs. You
can do this by providing information they need and avoiding becoming a casualty yourself.
Upon arrival at a new location, learn the proper procedures for reporting antiterrorism related
information. This could be a unit antiterrorism officer, building management, or local law
enforcement. Be prepared to report and respond.

Narration:
You now understand the four AT Level I themes listed here.
Lesson 3: Surveillance Detection Fundamentals
Lesson 3, Page 1: Surveillance Detection Introduction
Description:
Surveillance against an individual seeks to determine:
• Residential security measures
• Modes of travel
• Routes and times of travel
• Typical behavior
• The target's general security awareness
Surveillance against a facility or assets tries to determine:

• General security posture
• Security standard operating procedures
• Information on security force shift rotations
• Physical security weaknesses
• Reaction times to emergencies
For more information, see the Singapore Plot in Historical Examples available in RESOURCES section.
Narration:
Terrorists conduct surveillance to gather information to plan an attack. Criminals perform surveillance
to choose a time and place to conduct a theft. In both cases, the target may be an individual, a
facility, or asset.
Surveillance against an individual seeks to determine:

• Residential security measures
• Modes of travel
• Routes and times of travel
• Typical behavior, and
• The target's general security awareness
17
Surveillance against a facility or assets tries to determine:
• General security posture
• Security standard operating procedures
• Information on security force shift rotations
• Physical security weaknesses, and
• Reaction times to emergencies
Detecting surveillance is key to preempting a terrorist attack. If you suspect surveillance, contact
installation security, local law enforcement, or building management immediately.
Lesson 3, Page 2: Surveillance Detection Fundamentals
Description:
Signs of surveillance:
- People loitering in or coming back to the same general area without a recognizable legitimate
reason
- People that appear preoccupied with a specific building or area, to include taking pictures,
making notes, or drawing sketches
- Certain civilian vehicles that seem to appear repeatedly
Electronic audio and video devices in unusual places or that are not DOD property
Narration:
You should be alert to the possibility of surveillance in all locations.
In conducting surveillance, terrorists will attempt to blend in with the environment to avoid arousing
suspicion. Be vigilant for anything that might be a sign of surveillance, such as the examples listed
here.
Learn your environment and recognize suspicious behavior.
Lesson 3, Page 3: Methods of Surveillance (1 of 2)
Description: Stationary surveillance from fixed location

Narration:
Surveillance may be conducted over a long period of time and employ various methods:
Stationary surveillance is a common method in which operatives observe from a fixed location.
• Operatives try to blend in by doing ordinary tasks
• Operatives may seek to recruit support personnel with access to installations or residences
Moving surveillance is conducted on foot or in vehicles, generally in teams.
• Vehicle surveillance may include one or more vehicles
• Generally uses two or more people, one driving while the others observe
• Operatives may not always be behind you; once your routines are learned, they may be in front of
you
Varying your routes and routines can disrupt surveillance attempts.

Lesson 7: Residential Security
Lesson 7, Page 1: Residential Security Introduction
Description:
In selecting a new residence , some security considerations include:
 Location in a low crime area
 Access to emergency services
 Security measures such as apartment visitor control
 Strong crime prevention measures
For more information, see BG Dozier in Historical Examples available in the RESOURCES section.
Narration: A terrorist attack on a private residence in CONUS is not likely; however, theft and home
invasions are a real threat.
The majority of the DOD community in CONUS resides off-base and has many choices in selecting a
residence. Individual members are largely responsible for their own housing choices.
In addition to administering on-base housing, the housing office at a DOD installation can provide
assistance in selecting an off-base residence. Also, realtors and apartment finding services can help
you understand what is available.
In selecting a new residence, some security considerations include:
• Location in a low crime area
• Access to emergency services
• Security measures such as apartment visitor control, and
• Strong crime prevention measures
Well-maintained neighborhoods with effective community organizations generally have lower crime
rates. Even so, lax security can make your home a target for criminal break-in.
Lesson 7, Page 2: Physical Security

Description:
Consider these measures:
 Check for solid exterior doors, good quality locks, deadbolts, slide locks, and door jambs
 Ensure sliding doors can’t be lifted from their track and lay a rod or dowel in the track
 Keep valuables out of sight and away from exterior windows
 Don’t hide spare keys outside
 Use an alarm system if possible, both when you are at home and away
 Improve exterior lighting
 Put gravel outside windows so a prowler will make a sound
 Consider replacing locks since you do not know who may have keys from previous tenants
Narration:
Look at your residence the way a criminal might. A home that is an easy target is also a more likely
target. Physical security measures are a deterrent against crime.
Consider these measures.
36
Lesson 7, Page 3: Residential Security Practices
Description: Consider these security practices:
 Carefully control your keys
 Be extremely cautious in giving access to your home to any unknown person
 Call the utility company to confirm identities before giving access to utility workers
 Be alert when a stranger shows interest in you and your residence or asks for personal
information
 Only hire domestic workers from a reputable, licensed company and get personal references
from people you trust
 Be on good relations with your neighbors and look out for each other
Narration:
Good habits are essential for good security. A solid door is of no value if it is left unlocked or a
criminal gets access to a key.
Review daily routines needed for good security both day and night. Think about ways to improve your
security and confidence. Consider these security practices.
Frequently discuss security and family routines to ensure everyone understands. This will help raise
everyone's confidence that your family is secure at home.
Lesson 7, Page 4: Social Media (1 of 2 )

Description:
“Doxing”: Online release of personal information
Limit your exposure and use caution:
 Only reveal what you would feel comfortable revealing in a public setting
 Lock down privacy, access, searching, and sharing settings
 Disable automated GPS and location tracking features when not in use
 Do not reveal mission-related information
 Use discretion when accepting new “friends” or “connections”
 Limit the personal information you post online
 Do not post relationship statuses between you and your significant other, children, or family
members
 Do not tag identifiable pictures of yourself online
 Permanently deleting your profile is ultimately the best way to prevent information from
being collected on you, your friends ,and your family
 Opt out of aggregator sites and officially request that information be removed
 Remove or limit personal information, such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. on
websites that are searched by aggregators
Narration:
Social media makes personal information much more accessible than it's been in the past, presenting
a new set of challenges in protecting yourself. Consider this:
In March, 2015, a group calling themselves the Islamic State Hacking Division published a list of 100
US military personnel, calling for Jihadists to target and kill those listed. This listing included names,
37
photos, and residential addresses gleaned from open source internet sites, possibly including social
media sources.
This extensive "doxing" -- the online release of personal information -- marks a significant new tactic
of terrorist groups encouraging attacks on military and law enforcement personnel.
What can you do to counter the potential threat posed by social media? Limit your exposure and use
caution. The following steps can help minimize the risk of others finding and using personal
information against you.
Lesson 7, Page 5: Social Media (2 of 2 )

Lesson 8, Page 4: During Your Activity

Description:
While visiting public sites:

- Identify an exit
- Pre-designate a meeting location
- Watch for suspicious behavior
- Notice objects that might conceal IEDs
- Cooperate with security measures
In event of attack:
- Grenade attack – shrapnel rises; stay on floor with feet toward blast
- Small arms attack – ricocheting bullets hug the floor; crouch (don’t lie) on floor
Narration:
While visiting public sites, there are several actions you can take to reduce your risk. These include:
• Identify an exit route to be used in an emergency
• Pre-designate a location to meet if separated from your group
• Watch for suspicious behavior in others
• Notice objects that might conceal an improvised explosive device such as abandoned backpacks or
unusual items in trash receptacles
• Cooperate with security measures
In the event of an attack, remember:
• In a grenade attack shrapnel will rise from the point of detonation; being on the floor reduces
exposure and having feet toward the blast may protect the head
• In a small arms attack ricocheting bullets tend to hug the floor; crouching (not lying) on the floor
may reduce exposure
Enjoy your off-duty activities but remember there is a threat. If you observe any indications of a
threat, leave the area immediately and alert local authorities.

DC, and small arms and grenade attacks in foreign hotels. Standing in line, you reflect on how you
would respond to an attack at the entrance to the museum. You know you should dive for cover, and
in an attack with firearms you should crouch on the floor but not lie directly on it since ricochets tend
to hug the ground. But what should you do in the event of an attack with grenades? Select the correct
response.
A. Dive for cover and run for the exit at first possible opportunity.
B. Dive behind something solid and lie flat on the floor.
C. Dive behind something solid and crouch on the floor.
Correct answer: B, Dive behind something solid and lie flat on the floor. Grenade shrapnel rises, so it

Lesson 9: Air Travel

Lesson 9, Page 1: Air Travel Introduction
Description:
Consider the following tactics and examples since 2001:
- Midair explosion – December 2001 shoe-bomb plot on a trans-Atlantic flight
- Small arms attacks – 2002 attack against the El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles
- VBIED – 2007 attack against the Glasgow International Airport terminal
- Attacks against airport infrastructure – 2007 plot against John F. Kennedy airport
- Skyjacking – several incidents in Africa and the eastern Mediterranean
For more information, see the United Flight 93 and TWA Flight 847 Historical Examples available in
the RESOURCES section.
Narration:
The attacks of 11 September 2001 dramatically demonstrated the threat terrorism poses to air
travelers. Since then, the Transportation Security Administration has increased security at airports
around the country.
However, even with increased security, the threat remains. Consider the following tactics and
examples since 2001.
Some tactics against air travelers can be thwarted through vigilance. If you see suspicious behavior,
report it to airport security personnel immediately.
Lesson 9, Page 2: Reducing Your Exposure

Description:
Consider these tips to reduce your exposure:
 Do not wear clothing with DOD symbols or slogans (check with your organization about
guidelines)
 Do not include rank or organization information on luggage tags
 Use standard civilian luggage instead of military duffle bags
 Place any papers with DOD logos or other official documents in a sealed envelope
Narration:
Your command's policy may require you to travel in uniform. If not, it's generally wise to keep a low
profile and not disclose your DOD affiliation. Consider these tips to reduce your exposure.
Consider your seat selection. If you have a choice, a window seat reduces your exposure in a
skyjacking but also reduces your mobility.
By thinking through your air travel plans, you can reduce your risk.
Lesson 9, Page 3: Security at the Airport

Description:
While at the airport terminal, be vigilant for these items:
46
- Vehicles left unattended at the curbside check-in areas
- Individuals that appear nervous
- Any activity that is out of place in an airport environment
Narration:
Threats against air travelers occur primarily in two places: at the airport prior to passing security and
on the aircraft.
When you arrive at an airport, pass through security without delay since all passengers and baggage
are screened at that time. To avoid delays, ensure your travel documents are in order and use online
check-in options.
While at the airport terminal, be vigilant for these items.
Report suspicious activity to airport authorities immediately. It's best to go straight to your gate to
wait for your flight.
Lesson 9, Page 4: Airline Skyjackings

Description:
If your aircraft is skyjacked, you must choose carefully whether to cooperate or actively resist. In
making this decision, try to understand the skyjacker’s intent. For example:
 Any pilots in control? (May indicate desire to land)
 Have passengers/crew been absurd?(may indicate mindset)
 Are passengers singled out? (May indicate goal)
Narration:
11 September 2001 introduced a new tactic to airline skyjacking: use of aircraft as weapons of mass
destruction. However, skyjacking is still used to take hostages and not all skyjackers are intent on
suicide.
If your aircraft is skyjacked, you must choose carefully whether to cooperate or actively resist. In
making this decision, try to understand the skyjackers' intent. For example:
• Are pilots left in control of the aircraft? This may indicate a desire to land the plane safely
• Have passengers or crew been physically abused? This may indicate their mindset
• Are passengers singled out by nationality or religion? This may indicate something about their goal
More information about responding to a hostage incident is presented later in this lesson.
Lesson 9, Page 5: Air Travel – Situation 1

undercarriage and wheel wells
Visual interior inspection: (without touching the vehicle) look through windows for anything
unusual
Complete interior inspection: Look under hood, in trunk, glove compartment , behind gas cap
cover, under seats, in interior console
Narration:
Vehicle security inspections are often performed at the entrance of military facilities. You can do your
own vehicle security inspection when you suspect your vehicle may have been tampered with.
This is a more common concern overseas, but it is something to consider when your car has been left
in an unsecure area. Also, keep these instructions in mind in case there is an increase in the local
50
threat.
A vehicle inspection consists of the following:
• Visual exterior inspection: Without touching the vehicle, look for any evidence of tampering on the
undercarriage and in the wheel wells
• Visual interior inspection: Without touching the vehicle, look through the windows for anything
unusual on the seats or floorboards
• Complete interior inspection: Look under the hood, in the trunk, in the glove compartment, behind
the gas cap cover, under the seats, in the interior console – anywhere something may be hidden
If you believe your vehicle has been tampered with or you see something suspicious, report it to the
proper authorities immediately.

Lesson 11: Hotel Security

Lesson 11, Page 1: Hotel Security Introduction
Description:
Hotel guests are targeted for theft, and thieves may use hotel room invasions to gain access to
valuables using these tactics:
 Following individuals or families from the lobby to their room and then way in when the door
is unlocked
 Disguising themselves as hotel security or room service and asking guests to open the door
 Attempts to force open hotel room doors without warning
For more information, see the Paradise Hotel, Mumbai, Serena Hotel, and Marriot Hotel attacks in the
Historical Examples section under RESOURCES.
53
Narration:
In recent years, terrorists have attacked international hotels using IEDs and small arms. While these
have not occurred in the United States, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the attack on the
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City show that the threat of attacks on buildings is real.
Criminal activity in hotels is a current problem. Hotel guests are targeted for theft, and thieves may
use hotel room invasions to gain access to valuables using these tactics.
Some common sense precautions can enhance your security against the criminal threat while
lowering your risk to the terrorist threat.
Lesson 11, Page 2: Selecting a Hotel

Description:
Safety and security features:
 Location- non-violent/ low-crime area

 No balcony
Narration:
Selecting a room can be important, though you may not have control of your room assignment.
However, if you have the choice, consider the following room preferences:
• Select a room between the 3rd and 5th floors – rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors are easily
accessible from the outside, and rooms above the 5th floor are difficult to reach by emergency
services
• Select a room not immediately adjacent to fire escapes or emergency exits – criminals may target
these rooms due to the ease of escape
• Select a room without a balcony – criminals may use balconies to enter rooms and to go from one
54
room to the next
It may be hard to find a room with all these characteristics. If you do not feel your room is safe, ask
for another room or consider going to another hotel.
Lesson 11, Page 4: Inspecting Your Hotel Room

Lesson 12: Hostage Survival

Lesson 12, Page 1: Hostage Survival Introduction
Description:
To prepare for this possibility, review “Isolated Personnel Guidance” (an annex to CJCS Guide 5260).
For more information, see the Japanese Ambassador’s Residence, Terry Anderson, and General Dozier
Historical Examples, available in the RESOURCES section.
Narration:
Hostage taking within CONUS is rare in comparison with some other parts of the world. However, it is
a threat.
Hostages may be taken to obtain political concessions, ransom, or publicity. In CONUS, hostage taking
is most commonly associated with another criminal act such as robbery. In many cases, hostage
situations are resolved through negotiation or rescue.
To prepare for this possibility, review "Isolated Personnel Guidance," an annex to CJCS Guide 5260,
Lesson 12, Page 2: Initial Response to Hostage Incident

Description:
 Control your fear and maintain your dignity; if you become excited, so will your captors
 Follow instructions of your captors
 Avoid sudden movements that your captors may view as hostile
Narration:
In the initial moments of a hostage taking, both the victim and captors are in a highly reactive mindset
and prone to spontaneous actions. On the one hand, an act to resist may be seen as a threat and met
with deadly force. On the other hand, the chaos of the situation may afford an opportunity to escape.
The decision to resist or comply is a personal choice you must make based upon your estimate of the
situation and chances of survival.
However, if taken hostage, focus on defusing the situation:
• Control your fear and maintain your dignity; if you become excited, so will your captors
• Follow instructions of your captors, and
• Avoid sudden movements that your captors may view as hostile
58
The initial moments and hours of a hostage situation can be the most dangerous. Your decisions can
increase your chance for survival.
Lesson 12, Page 3: Time in Captivity

Description:
Demeanor toward captors:
 Respond to captors with respect; maintain dignity
 Do not display emotion or ego
 Do not lie; if a lie is necessary, be simple and consistent
Maintain metal and physical health:

 Keep active; maintain daily routine
 Engage in conversation (avoid controversial topics)
 Eat food provided to you
 Exercise
 Get enough sleep
Narration:
A hostage situation associated with another criminal act is not likely to be lengthy. However, there
are instances of kidnappings within CONUS which have lasted months and years.
Your demeanor toward your captors may influence the treatment you receive:
• Respond to your captors with respect and maintain your dignity
• Try not to display emotion or ego, and
• Do not lie, but don’t volunteer information; if a lie is necessary, keep it simple and be consistent
Be prepared for a long captivity in poor conditions. It is important to maintain your mental and
physical health:
• Keep active and maintain a daily routine
• Engage guards in conversation, but avoid controversial topics
• Eat the food that is provided to you even if it is of poor quality
• Find ways to exercise, and
• Get enough sleep
Personal optimism, faith, self-discipline, and keeping your mind active are keys to enduring a difficult
situation.
Lesson 12, Page 4: Hostage Resolution

Description:
In the event of a rescue attempt, be sure to:
 Immediately drop to the floor or dive behind a piece of furniture for cover
 After taking cover, do not make any sudden moves – you may be mistaken for a captor
 Do not attempt to assist rescue personnel – your actions may be misinterpreted as a threat
59
 Cooperate with rescue personnel – hostages may be handcuffed and detained while
identification are confirmed
Narration:
If taken hostage, you have to decide if your best chance for survival is through remaining in captivity
or attempting an escape.
If you do not feel there is an immediate threat to your life, your best option may be to remain in place
and hope your release is negotiated or a rescue attempt made. In the event of a rescue attempt, be
sure to:
• Immediately drop to the floor or dive behind a piece of furniture for cover
• After taking cover, do not make any sudden moves – you may be mistaken for a captor
• Do not attempt to assist rescue personnel – your actions may be misinterpreted as a threat, and
• Cooperate with rescue personnel – hostages may be handcuffed and detained while identifications
are confirmed
If you feel there is an immediate threat to your life, you may consider an escape attempt. Your chance
for success is greatest when security is lighter, and you know your location and which way to go for
help.

Lesson 13: Responding to CBRNE Attacks

Lesson 13, Page 1: CBRNE Introduction
Description:
Images of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive items
Narration:
Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) attacks are a proven threat to US
Government facilities within the United States.
In 2002, the US Postal Service was used to deliver anthrax-laden letters to multiple targets, including
the offices of prominent legislators in Washington, DC. In 1995, Timothy McVeigh detonated a
massive, vehicle-borne improvised explosive device in front of the Murrah Federal Building in
Oklahoma City killing 168 persons.
A chemical attack has not yet occurred on US soil, but the 1995 Sarin nerve gas attack in the Tokyo
subway demonstrates the threat.
Also, a nuclear or radiological attack has not yet occurred. But terrorist organizations are seeking new
attack methods. The proliferation of nuclear materials that could be used as a weapon of terror
greatly concerns US officials.
Lesson 13, Page 2: Responding to CBRNE Attacks

Description:
Protect yourself:
 Cover your body, especially your nose and mouth
 Wash any exposed part of your body with soap and water
 Seek medical attention as soon as possible
62
 Obey local authorities and first responders
 If you believe a chemical attack is underway, move upwind into a well-ventilated area
Biological attack:
 Avoid infected areas
 Watch for signs of illness
Radiological/nuclear attack:
 Consider sheltering in place
 Tightly close doors and windows
For more information, see the US Anthrax and the Tokyo Subway Attacks in Historical Examples
Narration:
The nature of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear attack may be hard to determine.
Chemical agents may be colorless, odorless, and difficult to identify. And, the effects of biological
agents may take days or weeks to appear. Symptoms may resemble common ailments and may not
be properly diagnosed.
Regardless of the type of incident, you can do several things to help protect yourself.
If you suspect a biological attack, avoid infected areas and watch for signs of illness in yourself and
others.
In case of a radiological or nuclear attack, consider sheltering in place and tightly close doors and
windows.
Lesson 13, Page 3: Responding to IEDs

Description: What you should do when you suspect an IED.
Suspicious objects and packaging:

 Unattended items that could conceal a bomb (suitcase, briefcase, flower planter, trash can,
parked cars)
 Items with unusual batteries , wires, cables, and strings
Also look for suspicious behavior; such as:

 People dressed in unseasonably warm clothing or behaving nervously
 People leaving a suspicious object prior to leaving an area
For more information, see the Oklahoma City Bombing in Historical Examples available in the
RESOURCES section.
Narration:
Everyone should be aware of the IED threat, even in areas without a history of terror attacks. Be
especially alert when the local threat increases. Terrorists target symbolic sites, military personnel
and equipment, innocent civilians, and first responders.
IEDs can be disguised as everyday objects. Be aware of suspicious objects or behavior.
If you suspect an IED, clear everyone from the area and contact police or facility security immediately.

 Notify authorities and your sponsor
 Wash your hands with soap and water, and take a shower
 Put your clothing in a sealed plastic bag and give it to authorities
For more information see the US Anthrax Attacks Historical Example available in the RESOURCES
section.
Narration:
Mail and packages can contain a CBRNE threat. In the 2001 anthrax attacks, cross-contamination
occurred in the postal system, infecting unintended victims.
Here are potential indicators that a letter or package may contain a dangerous substance or may be
tainted.
Lesson 13, Page 5: CBRNE Situation 1

Description:
You have been waiting for a package to come in the mail at work and one day it finally arrives. You are
just about to open it when you notice a shipping envelope stuck to the back of your package. The
