  • Jason Perkins, 319th Security Forces Squadron anti-terrorism program manager (left), reviews security upgrade information with 319th Air Base Wing leaders March 28, 2018, on Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. Recent unauthorized entries at other bases, put commanders on notice to conduct thorough reviews of installation security procedures and potential shortfalls in base protection. “I’m confident in our defenders and our security protocols, but there’s always room to improve. This provided me the opportunity to take a close look at how I can better equip base defenders to perform their vital mission,” said Spencer. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Amanda Callahan)
