Exercise tests response to hostage crisis

Master Sgt. Michael Smith, 81st Security Forces Squadron, and Officer Scott Doucet, the Biloxi Police Department Special Response Team commander, discuss the integration of Doucet’s officers into the base’s response to the hijacking simulation by providing an explanation of the team’s capabilities. Gary Pierson, Keesler Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief, and police Sgt. Milton Houseman, Biloxi Police Department and member of Keesler's exercise evaluation team, were standing by for further assistance during an anti-hijacking exercise on the flightline at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., Dec. 4, 2012. The exercise scenario consisted of a disgruntled Airman, who after being denied leave during the holidays, created a fake Air Force leave form to get on a flight and hijack the aircraft to fly home.
