Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield, an annual security readiness exercise, will take place at Naval Base Kitsap (NBK) installations beginning on Monday, January 30th and concluding by February 10th. 

During the exercise, people accessing NBK installations should plan accordingly for possible delays at the gates. Additionally, those on base and in communities surrounding the bases may see increased military activity and possible traffic and pedestrian congestion associated with the exercise.

Solid Curtain/Citadel Shield is a force protection and anti-terrorism exercise conducted by Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFF) and Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) on all Navy installations in the continental United States. The annual exercise uses realistic scenarios to ensure U.S. Navy security forces maintain a high level of readiness to respond to changing and dynamic threats.

The routine security exercises are used to ensure readiness and verify response procedures of Navy personnel.
