In the wake of the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, the U.S. Northern Command has intensified security measures across all military bases under its jurisdiction. As part of these measures, the Trusted Traveler program has been suspended, and a 100% identity check is now required for all individuals entering the bases.
The Trusted Traveler program, which allowed certain individuals to access military bases without additional screening, has been suspended until further notice. This decision was made as a precautionary measure following the attacks to ensure the enhanced security of personnel and facilities.
Military bases across North America, including the continental United States and Alaska, have implemented heightened security measures. These include strengthened entry checks and increased patrols. For instance, Hill Air Force Base in Utah announced the suspension of the Trusted Traveler program and the enforcement of stricter security measures for all individuals entering the base.
The attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, which occurred in the early days of the new year, prompted military authorities to take additional precautions. In New Orleans, Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a rented truck into a crowd and opened fire, killing more than a dozen people and injuring many others. An Islamic State group flag was found inside the truck. In Las Vegas, active-duty Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger detonated a rented Tesla Cybertruck filled with fireworks and other combustible materials near a hotel.
The tightening of security measures at military bases is a necessary step to protect personnel and facilities from potential threats. These measures demonstrate the military's commitment to preventing similar tragic incidents and ensuring the safety of all individuals on base.
