After the terrorist shooting at the Pensacola Naval Air Station on December 6th, the government says it will soon announce new protocols for security and vetting at U.S. military bases. A Pentagon spokesperson declined to give specific information on what the new policies would entail, but confirmed the changes would include more direct screening by the Department of Defense. He did not provide a date on when the Pentagon would announce its new security protocols. An investigation of the shooters background determined he had been motivated by jihadi ideology and anti-American sentiment, and the Department of Justice classified the attack as an act of terrorism. Over the last 20 years a million students from more than 150 countries have gone through training at U.S. military facilities.
