YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan Early Tuesday morning, a security forces team, weapons raised, entered the Navy Exchange, searching for a knife-wielding suspect.
The action was a drill using blue, rubber versions of M4 carbines, all part of Citadel Pacific 2021, five days of security-forces exercises this summer at Navy installations across the region.
At Yokosuka, a combination of security teams cleared the exchange before finding and apprehending someone playing the role of suspect. The teams then moved to a second scenario at Yokosuka Middle School, where they took another roleplaying suspect into custody and discovered a “suspicious” package.
