The facility has a staff of more than 6,500 military and civilian personnel, and aims to provide medical care to military service members, their families, and those who served in the past, according to its website.

"We're not taking any chances and are executing procedures we've been trained for in this kind of situation," Naval Medical Center spokesman Mike Alvarez said.
