Protective Force Training at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Reservation
The Department of Energy (DOE) mission at the Oak Ridge National Security Complex
(Y-12), the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, East Tennessee
Technology Park (ETTP), and the DOE Federal office complex,
requires a paramilitary protective force comprised of several
hundred security police officers to safeguard the production and
storage of nuclear weapons components, special nuclear material,
and other sensitive work. The force also includes a Special
Response Team (SRT) at Y-12 comprised of specially trained
officers who are responsible for engaging and defeating
adversaries with advanced capabilities. The protective force is
required to complete refresher training each year to ensure that
each officer maintains the skills necessary to protect DOE assets
from theft and other acts that may cause adverse impacts on
national security or the health and safety of the public.
