Some of the folks here with more time in than me, can tell you some epic lockdown stories....

 




At Yakima, the post was basically shutdown because some unit in some mechanized battalion lost NVG's.  They ended up locking down the entire battalion inside those old piece of shit/fire trap barracks buildings for 3 months also surrounded by 3 strands of Concertina wire.



The lockdown ended when one of our EOD team leaders saw a set of NVG's laying on the ground on one of the largest ranges.  So he stops by the locked unit and asks to talk to the Commander so he can read off the serial # off to him.   Let me tell you we could hear cheers from our EOD shop, a certain LT and a Commander were extremely relieved.   They donated a case each of Beer to our unit.

Yep, at Yakima Firing Center that was pure luck right there.

I was there with a reserve unit in like 1990. Weird place. All these boxes with tubes litter the roads leaving the base to the range we were on. There is NOTHING out there. A couple guys passed out while digging (they both passed out at the same time and had been drinking the night before)....3 suburbans came from the middle of no where and guys got out in full MOP gear, the white kind like in ET....It was surreal. I mean they came from the middle of the desert. Nothing around for miles....All clear was called an hour or so later and all booze was removed....Strange place that Dugway is...

Friday at around 1400, we were getting an early weekend courtesy of the CO, vault count over in the 2111 shop came up short one (1) M9...



Instant lockdown and search of everyone and everything, when that didn't turn it up, SNCOs went to the barracks and rifled through our rooms while we stood in formation back at the Battalion.



When that didn't turn anything up, they started "interviewing" anyone who had access...



Long story short, a boot 2111, fresh out of armorers school, took it home (so he claimed) to show off to his family and someone stole it.  He fudged the vault count to cover it, and the NCO supervising the count didn't follow procedure and verify the numbers, so the newb got away with it for a while.

Dugway Proving Ground has reopened after nearly 12 hours in lockdown to resolve a "serious concern."


People who work on the base were forced to spend the night in their offices or cars because they weren't allowed to leave. That changed around 5 a.m. as those on base were allowed to leave and those showing up were allowed to enter.


"Everyone's safe, and that's our biggest concern here." - Paula Thomas

No word on the cause of the lockdown. Dugway says it should be able to release more information later this afternoon. Workers KSL spoke with Thursday morning said they do not have clearance to talk about the cause of the lockdown.


Wednesday, spokeswoman Paula Thomas said it was part of "an ongoing security operation." No one was said to be in immediate danger.

DUGWAY –– The U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground has been placed on lockdown as part of "an ongoing security operation," according to spokeswoman Paula Nicholson.

The gates to the facility were closed Wednesday evening, and workers normally scheduled to be off at 5:30 p.m. were not allowed to leave, while those coming into the area were not let in.
Dugway encompasses more than 800,000 acres of Utah's west desert, where more than 2,000 people call home. It is a government-owned facility used by U.S. Army Reserves and U.S. National Guard for maneuver training. It is also a U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command center where tests are occasionally run on defenses against biological and chemical weaponry.


Didn't "something" get out of there and kill a bunch of sheep a few years back?

Is the lockdown over?  Anybody got any info?

Some private probably lost a pair of NVGs, or some LT lost his pistol or ANCD.
 


Or some SPC tried to walk off with a laptop.  Or a CSM saw someone walking around with a reflective belt.

A pallet of 5.56 got misplaced once.  Found a few hours later in the motor pool.

A 120mm round from an M1 came up missing.  Found at BLORA a few hours later.

A slugger (an old giant GPS receiver) came up missing (we had two in my company; sensitive to say the least).  "Found" in the dumpster at the motor pool.

My fucking car came up missing from the motor pool when I came back from NTC in 1994.  "Found" in a motor pool half a mile down the road.  Keys missing.  Gerber Mk2 missing.  Jimmy Hendrix tape missing.

NODs came up missing.  Found in humvee.

Someone stripped the chaplain's humvee of just about every usable part.

Some drip pans got boosted, probably by the DATs next door.  Locked down for that stupidity.



I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

On fox news now. VX canister was missing and now accounted for. The only thing they didn't say was that it was found in Ohio in that house. I am willing to bet they IDed the canister in Ohio to be from dugway and then they locked down and did a total inventory to make sure it was the only one missing.

There are strict testing protocols allowing select facilities to maintain small amounts of chemical and biological weapons.  These areas are inspected periodically by international teams.

Hell, I played with VX a few times there and elsewhere.  No big thing.

Just clean up when you are done.
