Terrorism is defined as: 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. Antiterrorism is defined as: Defensive measures used to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and property to terrorist acts, to include rapid containment by local military and civilian forces. Antiterrorism:
As a prelude and during performance of any contract, it is critical that the contractor be supportive of all Department of Defense (DoD) requirements to protect personnel and their families, installations, facilities, information, and other resources from terrorist acts. All contractors and subcontractors are responsible for providing their personnel information on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) Antiterrorism (AT) Program. During performance of work, personnel security and protection of resources is critical for the installation to maintain a safe work and secure environment.
Contractors must ensure that contracted personnel and vehicles are strictly controlled during performance of duty. For instance, contractors shall use reasonable efforts to prevent any personnel or equipment from being placed in harm’s way or in a position that could aid or abet terrorists (unattended running vehicle). It is strongly recommended that all contracted personnel take the computer-based training (CBT) for the DoD-approved Antiterrorism Level I Training at https://jko.jten.mil/courses/AT-level1/launch.html contractors are encouraged to contact the JB MDL Antiterrorism Office at 609-562-2445/5362 for information regarding the installation Antiterrorism Program.

Suspicious Activity Reporting:
Contractors and contracted personnel are part of the JB MDL community. Installation personnel are capable of enhancing Force Protection measures through “See Something-Say Something." If you witness any suspicious incidents or activities, REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY:
