U.S. Color Code (Red) Severe - Terrorist activity on a specific target may be imminent under this warning.
Situation: The President of The Citadel
or declaration by higher authority dictates that CSOP IV be implemented
in response to the occurrence of a
terrorist attack, or in response to intelligence information that
indicates a terrorist attack at The Citadel is likely.
Mission: In addition to those actions
noted above, decrease The Citadel's vulnerability to attack by implementing
measures to alert personnel of
terrorist activity and by taking actions to increase the level of protection
afforded Citadel personnel and property. Immediate and
effective response to a terrorist attack will be taken in order
to contain, counter, and neutralize an attack directed against Citadel
personnel or property. Post attack and recovery operations will
be initiated as soon as possible to facilitate the continuity of operations.
Tasks:
Public Safety:
Close all gates. (However, manage traffic flow at Lesesne Gate)
Ensure local police are on campus and positioned to respond accordingly.
Restrict all vehicles and personnel entering the campus.
Plan and coordinate all emergency response.
Do not permit visitors or deliveries on campus.
Search all hand carried items.
Close and evacuate all or select buildings.
Execution: Maximizing personnel and facility
protection will achieve the necessary degree of security response. Depending
upon the situation
(targeted facilities, size of terrorist force, type of armament employed
by terrorist elements, etc.), a full recall of off duty Public Safety
personnel will be initiated. On duly police officers will provide
the first line of defense and will be reinforced by responding outside police
agencies. The level of advanced warning, if any, prior to an attack
will directly influence the accomplishment of specific actions taken to
limit property damage and injury to personnel.
