"I want to assure everyone that we will do everything possible to maintain the operational readiness of JBPHH while protecting the safety of our base employees, our service members and their families."
David Hodge, a JBPHH spokesman, told the Air Force Times that the security incident was "an actual situation" and not part of an exercise.
The exact nature of the security threat that prompted the shelter-in-place order remains unclear.
