What is the CAW?
• Navy led organization, established in 1999, with a focus
on Multi-Agency response to:
– Terrorism and Natural disasters in the Maritime/ Port and CBRNE
environment. This includes the pre-event phase including INTEL
build-up through the Emergency Management and Consequence
Management phases.
• The CAW organization has three major focus areas:
– Training and Education
– Exercises; including simple to complex Multi-Agency
– Technology; including Experimentation and Assessment
• CAW events are sponsored by:
– DOD
– Other Federal Agencies
– State and Local governments and private industry.

CAW Locations
• The CAW is headquartered at Naval
Base Ventura County, Pt. Mugu,
California
• The CAW has three regional offices
located in the Pacific Northwest, the
Hawaiian Islands and Northern
Virginia.

EXERCISE GOALS & OBJECTIVES:
•
•
The first goal is to generate interaction among local, county, state,
federal, DoD and multi-national organizations in response to
multiple, live and computer simulated, near-simultaneous events,
including sequential explosions and heavy casualties in and
around Puget Sound maritime approaches and ports. The primary
exercise objectives are to:
– Provide agencies the opportunity to exercise plans and
procedures, and assess the types of systems needed to guide the
prevention, response, and recovery from terrorist events occurring
in the NW Region.
– Further enhance their understanding of the roles and
responsibilities, capabilities and limitations, of other agencies in
order to better promote interagency operations within the ICS
structure.
– Build on lessons learned from previous AWI exercise series,
focusing on the enhancement of agency understanding and
application of ICS concepts.
The second goal is to meet the exercise requirements provided by
the participants during the planning phase. This exercise will be
conceived and developed from the bottom up through a series of
meetings with interested agencies. The set of participants’
objectives will be the defining elements of the exercise
development and will be addressed through the design of scenario
events that will provide the required type and level of play.

Concept:
• AWI-04S is the Southern California component of Determined
Promise - 04
• Combination of live and simulated events resulting in emergency
response from the federal and state levels thru regional, county, city,
department
• Exercises organizational, tactical, and jurisdictional interfaces among
multiple Federal, DOD, State, County, and City agencies
• Integrates four scenarios into a coordinated exercise:
• Simulated containerized RDD exploding in the Port of LA
• Search for several other containers en route from the port
• Search for terrorists aboard a vessel in the Port of LB
• Train derailment in Ventura County causing mass casualties
• Bottom-up exercise design permits participants to meet specific local
training requirements in the context of a much larger-scale exercise.

Simulation Center to provide integration of multiple threads and back
up critical events needed to stimulate exercise play.
• Bottom up approach to permit participants to meet required local
exercise requirements in the context of a full-scale scenario.
• Design approach will examine ways to integrate a complicated mix
of independent events using both local facilities and special training
facilities scattered throughout the area
