Navy Plans Armed Guards for Reserve Centers After Attack

For now, the Navy will only post armed reservists at its 70 reserve centers across the nation, but it’s also considering the possibility of armed guards at recruiting centers, NBC reports.

An FBI investigator works to gather evidence outside a military recruiting center on Friday, July 17, 2015, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The guards will be reservist voluntarily called to active duty.

Now the Navy has immediately authorized the arming of those at reserve centers, Navy spokesman Cmdr.

“It is being considered along with the rest of the full spectrum of force protection measures”. “Many even more actions think you are considered”. In the immediate aftermath, the Marine Corps closed recruiting stations within 40 miles of the shooting. He said their presence, “while well intentioned, will be counterproductive to our recruiting operations”.

In the weeks after that July rampage, Defense Department officials have looked to come up with ways to better protect military facilities that are not traditionally armed.

The Navy designs to situate supplied personnel really store facilities that are not typically found on military bases, just like the one in Tennessee. He rammed his vehicle through a gate and entered the facility, shooting and killing five people and wounding a Marine recruiter and a police officer before he was killed by police officers.
