Following the deadly shooting at NAS Pensacola, the Pentagon says it will soon revamp protocols for security and vetting at U.S. military bases.
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Following the deadly attack that was ruled an act of terrorism at Naval Air Station Pensacola, the Department of Defense says it will soon announce revamped protocols for security, physical security and vetting at U.S. military bases.
Hoffman declined to give specific information on what the new policies would entail, but he confirmed the changes would include more direct screening by the Department of Defense."The tragedy in Pensacola has led us to address the vetting," Hoffman told reporters.
The attack prompted Esper to review the government's vetting and base security protocols, as well as launch a new round of screening for the approximately 850 Saudi military personnel training in the U.S.
