Terrorism threat/ To lower the profiles of troops in
the community
U.S.
military installations across Europe are increasing security in the wake of the
recent terrorist attack in Paris and disrupted plots in Belgium, Germany and
France, U.S. European Command said on Wednesday.
“U.S. European Command directed its component commands to implement
additional force-protection measures and random security enhancements at
facilities across the EUCOM area of responsibility,” said Navy Capt. Greg
Hicks, EUCOM spokesman. “We continually assess threats to our forces with and
alongside our host-nation counterparts and take appropriate measures based on
those assessments.”
Hicks declined to elaborate on the specific steps being taken or to
offer an assessment of the threat.
Typically, enhanced force-protection measures can vary from base to
base. They can include such actions as more stringent inspections of cars
entering installations, random bag checks and increased security patrols.
