RESPOND TO BOMB THREAT
21
BOMB THREAT
Why Bombs Bombs are ideal weapons because they
can be designed to give terrorists opportunities
to escape from the scene of their
crimes. Facts Terrorists have frequently used
home-made explosive devices (Improvised
Explosive Devices or IEDs) in carrying out their
attacks against personnel, facilities, and
assets.
22
BOMB THREAT
Placing a bomb on an installation normally
requires that the bomb be transported to the
scene, usually by means of a motor vehicle. The
history of terrorist bombing attacks in Europe
firmly indicates that the potential of an attack
still remains. In those instances where attacks
were successfully neutralized, it was the result
of alert, well-trained security forces.
Search this? _at_ no.
23
BOMB THREAT
TASK To provide procedures for safely and
rapidly responding to bomb threats, ensuring the
safety of USAREUR personnel and
facilities. CONDITIONS While performing roving
AT/FP guard duties, you think there is a bomb in
a parcel lying at next to the Headquarters
building. Your primary duty is to protect and
assist the members of the installation community.
You will always obey the orders of the senior
Military Police on site. STANDARDS You must
perform the steps in Performance Measures 1-9 to
secure and clear the area without detonating the
bomb.
24
SPECIAL ATTENTION ITEMS
a. Fire Extinguishers b. Propane Cylinders c.
Luggage d. Gym bags e. Items taped or
strapped to the vehicle
25
BOMB THREAT (VEH)
When firearms, explosives, or other harmful
materials are found in the search, take the
following actions 1. Suspend all activity at
the search site and close the access point. 2.
Reroute traffic and evacuate 300 meters, or as
far as practical, and take position behind any
type of hard cover. 3. Notify the Sergeant of
the Guard, Military Police, and Host Nation
police, if appropriate (non-U.S. citizen). 4.
Upon arrival of Military Police, assist as
requested.
26
BOMB THREAT (BLDG)

• Upon arriving at the location of the suspicious
  parcel, there are four general rules to be
  followed
• Remain alert for additional or secondary
  explosive devices in the immediate
  area,especially if the existence of a bomb threat
  evacuation assembly area has been highly
  publicized.
• Advise the Sergeant of the Guard that you have
  arrived and of any help needed to secure the
  area.
• Do not use a radio/cell phone within 50 meters
  of the threatened area to avoid detonating the
  bomb.
• Exhibit behavior that is calm, firm, and
  professional. (Others will react to your
  behavior. A professional demeanor can prevent
  general panic.)

27
Vehicle/Package
Isolate the area as much as is possible. Cordon
suspicious objects to a distance of at least 300
meters and cordon suspicious vehicles to a
distance of at least 300 meters. Ensure no one
enters the cordoned area. Do not allow anyone
other than on-duty Military Police, CID, the
search team, and the responding EOD team into the
area.
300 meters
300 meters
28
BUILDING
If the threatened building is occupied and the
occupants have not been notified, advise the
supervisor or building coordinator of the
building to have everyone leave the building and
move to an assembly area selected based on the
following criteria Assembly areas should be
at least 300 meters, and not less than 100
meters, from the likely target or building, if at
all possible. Locate assembly areas in areas
where there is little chance of an IED being
hidden. Open spaces are best. Avoid car parking
areas because IEDs can be easily hidden in
vehicles. CALL VS PACKAGE
29
EVACUATION
Select multiple assembly areas If possible
reduce concentration of key personnel Assist
Military Police in notifying supervisors of
nearby buildings Do not search for the
bomb Remain on the scene until released by the
Military Police or the Sergeant of the Guard.
Never touch the device

32
Threat Conditions
THREATCON ALPHA. Applies when there is a
general threat of possible threat activity
against personnel and/or installations, the
nature and extent of which is unpredictable, and
circumstances do not justify full implementation
of THREATCON BRAVO measures. However, it may be
necessary to implement certain measures from
higher THREATCONs resulting from intelligence
received or as a deterrent. Commands must be
capable of maintaining THREATCON ALPHA measures
indefinitely, with only limited impact on normal
operations.
33
Threat Conditions
THREATCON BRAVO. Applies when an increased or
more predictable threat exists. Commanders must
be capable of maintaining the measures of this
THREATCON for several weeks without causing undue
hardship to personnel, substantially affecting
operational capabilities, or aggravating
relations with local authorities and members of
the local civilian or host nation community.
34
Threat Conditions
THREATCON CHARLIE. Applies when an incident
occurs or intelligence indicates some form of
threat action against personnel and/or facilities
is imminent. Implementation of THREATCON CHARLIE
measures for more than a short period probably
will create hardships for personnel and affect
the peacetime activities of units and personnel.
35
Threat Conditions
THREATCON DELTA. Implementation applies in the
immediate area where a threat attack has occurred
or when intelligence indicates terrorist action
against a specific location is likely.
Implementation of THREATCON DELTA normally occurs
for only limited periods of time over specific,
localized areas. Commands cannot sustain
THREATCON DELTA for extended periods without
causing significant hardships for personnel and
substantial reductions in capability to perform
normal peacetime missions.
