U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA) Privacy Act and PII Officer and simulated Site Manager John Underwood moderates a periodic status briefing for USDA FSA Executive Director and the simulated acting Agriculture Secretary Adrian J. Polansky and other USDA leaders from outside of the simulated major incident area who have also assumed simulated departmental leadership roles for this simulated devolution of leadership due to a simulated major incident during Eagle Horizon, a mandatory, annual, integrated continuity exercise for all federal executive branch departments and agencies, to include USDA Departmental Management (DM) Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination (OHSEC), as required by National Continuity Policy, Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday, May 17, 2016. The phrase is required to prevent miscommunications with personnel participating in locations throughout the nation and from exercise controllers. The Eagle Horizon series of exercises allows the executive branch to implement integrated, overlapping national continuity concepts in order to ensure the preservation of our government and the continuing performance of essential functions. These services provided by governments at all levels and the private sector affect the everyday lives of citizens and customers. In 2001, the Homeland Security office was created as a response to the tragedy that struck the Nation on September 11 of that year. In 2010, OHSEC was formed out of a merger between Homeland Security and the USDA Office of Security Services (OSS) to create a more efficient and effective organization.
