Army warns: U.S. homeland bases at risk of ‘deliberate and direct attacks’
(Worthy News) – U.S. Army bases face the real risk of “deliberate and direct attacks” from enemies and must implement new strategies to strengthen their defenses, the Army warned Monday in a major new report that painted an alarming picture of the threats that confront military installations at home.
In its 16-page “Installations Strategy,” Army leaders said they are operating under the assumption that enemies will directly target bases in the continental U.S.
While the idea that foreign militaries would launch conventional assaults on Army bases on American soil may sound inconceivable in today’s environment, the Pentagon warned that cyberattacks, the fomenting of protests and even the sponsoring of criminal activity by U.S. adversaries are all significant threats in the 21st-century landscape.
