Annex to the Facility Response Plan,NAS Corpus Christi, TX


Why?(the rationale behind the annex)

•• Why a plan?Why a plan?– Increases the Station’s effective response to a potential

act of terrorism

•• Why an annex of the FRP?Why an annex of the FRP?– The FRP is a well-understood, usable document

already in place, with both response and trainingfunctions
