For decades, Marines who were tasked with the job of building anti-terrorism plans<\/a> for their unit events, be it training, a Marine Corps birthday ball or a charity 5K race on their base, had to fall back on brief, standardizing training and had little, if any, way to access up-to-date information on potential threats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overhauled anti-terrorism program now gives the officers and staff noncommissioned officers a dial-up resource to understand real, recent and relevant threats<\/a> when planning those events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cthreat fusion cell\u201d is a newly created team that gives Marine anti-terrorism entities and police a centralized nucleolus that can deliver information on suspicious activity reporting and the also new Marine Corps Insider Threat Program, Anti-terrorism Section Head Jason Towle told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new initiatives arrive alongside a revamped anti-terror program that made modifications to policy, training, management and resource management, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
