ICYMI... Carolina Journal: Hudson Has Questions About What DOD is Doing About US Military Base Infiltrations
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In case you missed it, last week Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09), joined by Congressmen Pat Fallon (TX-04) and Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), sent a letterto Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding answers on how the Department of Defense is responding to the recent uptick in incidents of foreign nationals attempting to infiltrate U.S. military installations or spy on military personnel across the country.
Read more in The Carolina Journal article, Hudson has questions about what DOD is doing about US military base infiltrations, below:
"The trio recently sent a letterto Austin that pointed out that several of the country's installations are strategic power projection platforms or places where important or sensitive activity occurs.
...
This letter comes after a study released by Duke University in December revealedthat the personal information of US military members, including addresses and health status, is available for purchase, raising significant national security issues surrounding Fort Liberty. Since then, Hudson has probed the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on this and cosponsored H.R. 6573- a bill to protect service-members' information. Most recently, two Chechen nationals were involved in potentially suspicious surveillance activityof an Army Special Forces soldier's property near Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg. ...In December 2022, vandals fired guns at two electric grid substations in Moore County, causing power outages that left up to 40,000 customers without power for two weeks.
In their letter, the congressmen said they fear the US is ill-prepared to respond to foreign adversaries' increased intelligence-gathering and surveillance activity." Read the full article in The Carolina Journal HERE.-###-
