PATUXENT RIVER, Maryland (Feb. 12, 2025) - Personnel from NAS Patuxent River's Security Division describe operations during the Citadel Shield/Solid Curtain 2025 exercise. The two-week antiterrorism/force protection (AT/FP) exercise saw the Reservists augment the active component by manning entry control points around the installation, freeing their active duty counterparts to perform critical AT/FP training in U.S. Fleet Forces Command-directed exercises.
The landscape of Baltimore was changed forever in the early morning hours of March 26, 2024 when the historic and strategic Key Bridge collapsed after it was struck by a container ship transiting the waters of the Baltimore Harbor.
NAS Patuxent River will delay opening until 12 p.m. Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Mission Essential Personnel must report to work as previously scheduled.
