Risks In Holding Events At Government Facilities

[RememberSchiff 3688]

"Coraopolis, PA -- The 171st Air Refueling Wing is cancelling its annual Scouting Skills weekend this year as a result of an increase of the base's security. A directive to increase the force protection condition was issued to all Department of Defense installations in the continental United States (CONUS) last week by the U.S. Northern Command Center (USNORTHCOM).  The 171st Air Refueling Wing intends to continue hosting the annual Scouting Skills event next year."

This has happened in the past to scout activities at a base when our military was placed on alert, but it just seems new and different now.

This has happened in the past to scout activities at a base when our military was placed on alert, but it just seems new and different now.

This is probably because of this: ISIL activity drives up Pentagon threat level.
