Qualifications

---

• Anti-Terrorism Tactical Watch Officer (ATTWO):

One of the highest qualifications that can be obtained in my vocation. I was assigned to this position in January of 2022, below is a description of the duties assigned to the ATTWO for Naval Base San Diego:

“The ATTWO functions as the NBSD Security Officer’s (SECO) liaison to the Base Operation Center (BOC) responsible for briefing the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, Command Duty Officer and Base Watch Captain (BWC) on all security and Antiterrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) incidents. ATTWO liaises with waterfront afloat units on ATFP matters as required to ensure unity of effort in an all-hazards approach that allows the Security Department to respond effectively to the spectrum of threats; both man caused and natural. The ATTWO must have an up-to-date working knowledge of all pertinent instructions, regulations, directives, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), post orders, Pre-Planned Responses (PPR), Incident Response Plans (IRP) and Security Officer (SECO) Interim Directives (SID).”

The responsibility of an ATTWO is immense. On a daily basis I am responsible for the safety and coordination of personnel and ships during routine and emergency situations as they relate to ATFP policies and procedures.
