 August marks the Army's eighth annual observance of Anti-Terrorism Awareness Month. The range of terrorist-related attacks during the past year, including the use of vehicle ramming and edge weapon tactics, continued to evolve. Online radicalization and mobilization violence also remains. To stay ahead of these threats, our communities must remain vigilant and constantly aware of potential terrorist activities. Throughout the past year, our anti-terrorism initiatives address the evolution of terrorist tactics, updated our anti-terrorism strategy and policy guidance, and established a new focus on the threat of violent extremism. We encourage leaders at all levels to sustain our emphasis on suspicious activity reporting and promote the understanding of how to counter radicalization and mobilization to violence. Contact your local anti-terrorism officer, coordinator, or family readiness group. By working together, we present a united defense for the strength of our nation. Always ready, always alert.
