There are four levels, A through D.<\/p>\n<p>Army Col. Steve Warren says the increase was not triggered by a specific event. He says it was due to a generally heightened threat environment, which would include the recent terror threat and attempted attack surrounding a provocative cartoon contest in Texas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, their idea of increasing threat awareness seems to include more thorough bag and vehicle checks at base entrances. In other words, they&#8217;re just giving the impression that they&#8217;re more aware.I guess gate guards will be the answer, instead of allowing folks to arm themselves, at least long enough to get to work. <\/p>\n<p>I hate to give anyone ideas, but if I were a terrorist leaning towards taking out a bunch of US soldiers, I&#8217;d lay in wait at a busy gate when all of those unarmed, unprotected people are lined up waiting to go through the vehicle checks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that the Pentagon has increased threat awareness at military bases in the &hellip; <a title=\"US military responds to threats at bases\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=59710\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">US military responds to threats at bases<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/59711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
