The Army’s Antiterrorism Strategic Plan vision is to “successfully prevent terrorist attacks” by finding security gaps. These gaps may exist in contracting activities unless contracts include the necessary protective measures. On March 19, 2011, a man contracted to provide security for Forward Operating Base (FOB) Frontenac in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province shot and killed two Soldiers and wounded four others. Here, 1SG Jeffrey Chambers, 5th Cavalry Regiment, 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, addresses his Soldiers during a briefing at FOB Frontenac Aug. 3, 2011. (U.S. Army photos.)
