Vulnerability Assessments (Military) (1 Day)

The objective of the block of instruction is to give the students an in depth understanding of how to build an assessment team, conduct a Vulnerability Assessment (VA) of a given building or installation and how to evaluate the assessment. The students will understand how the resulting assessment is used in the development of a Force Protection Plan. Students will learn to utilize Vulnerability Assessment (VA) formats as tools to help develop a solid all inclusive force protection plan that supports the unit’s mission. The instructors for this block of instruction have over twenty years of combined experience conducting real world small unit deployments and operations which required the development of Vulnerability Assessments for both offensive and defensive operations.
