Oh, I can see this being fun if on the road for a XC, Fallon, Key West Det, etc..

I don't see what either of you are getting at. Seems like it's just clarifying region and installation commander's authority WRT force protection matters.

Is there a back story for this? Why would the Region Or Base Commander have a problem with tenement commands, did this happen?

clarifying region and installation commander's authority.

I believe that was one of the issues at Fort Hood and a concern overall with clarifying what authority the region has to respond appropriately to emergencies. In other words take/employ what you need and worry about permission later - probably a new concept for some military regions.

So in other words, business as usual, unless you're a base CO or regional CDR. What's all the fuss about then?

Don't see how that affects anyone, really.

^ Brett, it was a topic of discussion in the NCR recently. Nothing as earth shattering as other topics on the board recently, just thought it worth sharing.

 

[Brett327]

I hear ya. I was just wondering what MB was implying regarding being "on the road."

[robav8r]

Probably being on a cross country and suddenly finding yourself at the disposal of a regional command trying to respond to a HADR type of scenario.

Wait 'till the wackos get ahold of this info. They'll think the Navy is preparing for a "7 Days in May" scenario.
