After incidents involving foreign nationals attempting to gain access to military bases, a couple of US Congressmen are looking for answers. They sent a letter<\/a> to the Department of Defense asking about this activity. The incidents do not just involve military bases. Individual service members, as well as those associated with the military, have found themselves being watched.<\/p>\n

From The Carolina Journal:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“These locations are, therefore, surveillance targets for foreign nationals who want to collect data on installation operations and uniformed and non-uniformed personnel,” the letter reads. “This places our servicemembers, their families, and Department of Defense personnel at risk of exploitation and harm.”<\/p>\n

This letter comes after a study released by Duke University in December revealed that the personal information of US military members, including addresses and health status, is available for purchase, raising significant national security issues surrounding Fort Liberty.<\/p>\n

Since then, Hudson has probed the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on this and cosponsored H.R. 6573 — a bill to protect service-members’ information.<\/p>\n

Most recently, two Chechen nationals were involved in potentially suspicious surveillance activity of an Army Special Forces soldier’s property near Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg.<\/p>\n

A shooting in Carthage occurred on May 3 following a phone call about a suspected trespasser near a Special Forces soldier’s property.<\/p>\n

Two Chechen men who spoke broken English were found near the soldier’s home. One was allegedly taking photos of the soldier’s children. After a confrontation, the soldier shot and killed one of the men. Both men supposedly worked for a utility company based out of New Jersey. The case is still under investigation.<\/p>\n

In December 2022, vandals fired guns at two electric grid substations in Moore County, causing power outages that left up to 40,000 customers without power for two weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
