During an increase in Force Protection Condition, what is the role of auxiliary security forces?

The role of auxiliary security forces during an increase in Force Protection Condition is to augment the installation’s Naval Security Forces (NSF). This means that they provide additional manpower and support to enhance security measures and ensure the safety and security of the installation during heightened threat levels. This additional support is crucial in a time of increased risk as it allows the NSF to operate more effectively and efficiently by freeing up primary personnel to focus on critical tasks.

While other responsibilities like handling administrative duties or conducting surveillance are important aspects of overall security, their primary function during heightened Force Protection Conditions is to directly bolster the capabilities of the NSF. Investigating incidents may also occur, but this typically falls under the jurisdiction of specialized personnel rather than auxiliary forces. Their main task is to ensure a visible security presence and respond to potential threats alongside the NSF.
