Terrorism

Terrorism is defined as the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological. (Department of Defense Definition)
Fort Dix Six
On May 7, 2007, there was a thwarted terrorism plot aimed at Fort Dix. The "Fort Dix Six" (a group committed to kill as many soldiers as possible) were arrested during the weapon procurement phase of planning. This arrest renewed JB MDL's determination to counter terrorism at every step while continuing to maintain a safe and productive work environment. There is no information that suggests JB MDL is currently being targeted. Furthermore, there is no indication or information to suggest an Active Shooter scenario, but it remains a major concern.
