MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Personnel occupying two specific buildings at the Naval Support Activity (NSA) Mid-South base have been directed to shelter in place in response to an ongoing security protocol.
According to a statement released on the official NSA Mid-South page, the order applies strictly to occupants of the medical building and the Community Relations building. Base officials have instructed all individuals in these facilities to move indoors immediately and remain in a secure location until an official "all clear" is communicated.
Authorities have not yet disclosed the specific nature of the incident prompting the directive, and no further details regarding potential threats were immediately available.
Operational Security Alert
Directives to shelter in place at military installations are standard precautionary measures designed to isolate potential threats or hazards while security forces assess the environment. The limitation of the order to specific buildings suggests a localized concern rather than a base-wide emergency. Base operations are expected to provide further guidance as the security assessment concludes.
