BOSSIER CITY, La. (KSLA) - The first week of February, the United States Air Force announced a global security review of all its bases after a man illegally gained access to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and was able to board a plane on the flight line.
“Any time an incident does occur, whether it’s here or anywhere else in the Air Force, we are made aware of it,” Technical Sergeant Dennis Kotal with the 2nd Security Forces Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base said. “We do make efforts to tailor our security posture and training to make sure nothing like that can happen here in the future.”
