JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas,
The San Antonio and Joint Base San Antonio electromagnetic defense partnership has made great strides since its inception just over a year ago, and they continue building resiliency against harmful electromagnetic pulses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The San Antonio-Electromagnetic Defense collaborative, comprised of local and national subject matter experts from government, military, industry, research, and academia, was organized in conjunction with the JBSA-Electromagnetic Defense Initiative, or JBSA-EDI, in response to Presidential Executive Order 13865, “Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses.” An additional executive order was issued May 1, 2020, reiterating the importance of protecting the country’s bulk-power system.
“The JBSA-EDI is leading the collaborative, community-based effort to harden San Antonio against electromagnetic pulses or other events that could cause a long-term regional power outage, and COVID-19 only increased the need to ensure we have resilient services and infrastructure,” said Lt. Col. Eddie “Thumper” Stamper, mission coordinator for JBSA-EDI.
That is why their team quickly transitioned to a virtual environment once stay-at-home precautions were enacted.
