Active-shooter exercise strengthens Team MacDill’s readiness, resiliency
Team MacDill participated in an installation-wide active-shooter exercise here Jan. 23, 2019, to train and evaluate the base’s emergency response and preparedness. According to Jeffrey Sickler, 6th Air Mobility Wing director of inspections, this type of training is necessary to increase awareness for everyone at Team MacDill. “Conducting an active shooter exercise provides commanders with validation that training, checklists and appropriate actions are effectively executed if it were an actual event,” said Sickler. “The beginning of the year coincides with a large influx of retirees to the base so this exercise provides them the opportunity to participate, whether residing at the FamCamp or using any of the installation’s services.”
