US Naval Bases and Ports

[kalos72]

So who provides security for naval bases and ports? I can't seem to locate any information about their security, a link is fine.

That because it isn't that cut and dry of thing...It combination of various agencies of both private sector and Governmental types.

Hello to my friends at the FBI and NSA .

Just a bunch of gamers playing make believe.

Lol...I am screwed now. :P

Reason I ask is I am trying to figure out what sort of security units would be left to protect naval bases that are not in the direct control of a MILGOV / CIVGOV military unit.

Airbases have special details attached to them for security, naval bases dont have anything as organized I guess.

Anyone have any suggestions on what one might expect come 2000 in a T2K environment?

Well in my experiance the local major Air Force base is guarded by what looks like armed Renta-cops.As long as everyone has legit looking visitor's passes and ID's getting on is no problem.

As far as the local Naval Weapons Station goes...There are guys running around there carrying an "X-Force" handle. From what little i know they all have demo training, carry weapons at all times and most telling they carry radiation badges.

Anything that has strategic value (nuclear weapons sites, strategic commo sites, key wartime industrial facilities, etc.) are going to have their security heavily augmented once the war kicks off. I'd think a mix of civilian security forces (DOD Police, properly vetted private security companies, local/state law enforcement perhaps as well in some cases) and military, though not necessarily with any sort of strict adherence to branch ownership of facilities. It's possible you'd see soldiers or USAF security units helping garrison ports or other strategic navy facilities.

I think in WW2 they had some sort of separate government agency set up that provided security elements for essential industries. I'm not sure if that would make sense in the T2K timeline as much as the government just contracting out a lot of security to security guard companies. Some of the bigger companies already provided some fairly serious site security alongside the more common mall cop jobs and such, before 9/11 when "security contractor" got a more sexy air to it.

The only one I ever spent any time on had Department of Defense police for security.
