The Guardian: The Source for Antiterrorism Information. Volume 9, Number 1, April 2007

Abstract

Over the course of the past several months, I have asked the staff to re-examine the way we conduct AT/FP business with an aim at making sure we remain relevant while divesting ourselves of archaic practices. And so it is with this publication. Historically, The Guardian has been a technical journal that has mainly emphasized the procurement of equipment and the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures to counter the terrorist threat. Is it time for an overhaul? I need your help with delivering a high-quality product and I ask you to do two things. * First, please contact my staff and give us AT/FP-related topics that you would like addressed. * Second, write and submit your articles based on your invaluable field experience and analysis for the benefit of the entire AT/FP community. Collectively, our efforts will ensure we continue to deliver timely and useful information. Another way we attempt to provide informative and relevant content is through the Antiterrorism Enterprise Portal (ATEP). This forum provides an additional valuable instrument to collaborate, educate, and facilitate worldwide AT/FP information in both unclassified and classified environments. The unclassified version is located at https://atep.dtic.mil. These sites are not mere repositories of instructions and directives; rather, they are meant to be collaborative electronic workspaces to connect everyone in the AT/FP community, including combatant commander's J-34 staffs, installation physical security officers, and battalion antiterrorism officers. These sites are designed to quickly satisfy the community's requirements to hammer out guidance, solve problems, and pass on the right AT/FP mission details. Ultimately, our goal is to provide useful content that will make you, the user, more informed and more productive for the Long War.
