FORT GEORGE G. MEADE,
Md. — Soon, Soldiers and
civilians will be mere taps away
from contacting emergency
teams in the event of an active
shooter.
Army Training and Doctrine
Command and TRADOC
Capability Manager - Mobile,
or TCM Mobile, announced
winners from a competition
to develop an active shooter
response mobile application
for the Army. A team of civil-
ian employees from the Avia-
tion Center of Excellence, Fort
Rucker, Alabama, submitted
the winning entry.
The app will soon be released
for free download from the
Google Play, Apple App Store
and other online stores.
“All these applications have
the necessary and vital infor-
mation that will save lives, time
and educate those with little or
no training on active-shooter
response situations,” said Capt.
Dylan Gallagan, operations
officer at the Army Office of
the Provost Marshal General.
The app will add to the
Army’s list of current appli-
cations that aid Soldier train-
ing, readiness and response to
emergency situations. The win-
ning entry walks users through
various steps of how to respond
to an active shooter and what
to do when law enforcement
arrives.
“If adrenaline kicks in and
they forget what to do in the
moment, all of that informa-
tion is right there in front of
them,” said Matt MacLaugh-

The active shooter response
app follows the development
of the “We Care” mobile apps
created by TCM Mobile for
sexual harassment prevention Capability Manager-Mobile,
and suicide prevention. TCM “Now that they have this capa-

mobile apps for other purpos-
es, including combat training.
Maclaughlin said TCM hopes
to not only establish a pipeline (available for use).’
