Protection continue to be a vital focus area for USNORTHCOM and NORAD.***

the FBI and will detain the personnel. Meanwhile, two more buildings explode
near a military outpost in which civilians and military personnel were killed.

As Incident Commander, would you be in charge of posting
U.S. Army personnel in strategic locations in your town during a terrorist
