Defense Secretary Mark Esper will visit Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla., next week to talk with installation leaders and give them a preview of enhanced security procedures at all bases worldwide, Military.com reported.
NAS Pensacola was the site of a deadly mass shooting last month that federal investigators have labeled an act of terrorism.
The secretary “will announce these new measures shortly, which will include physical security procedures as well” as enhanced vetting at bases, a Pentagon spokesperson said, according to the article.
