During an appearance on the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” on Friday, Admiral Daryl Caudle, the Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, highlighted the increasing frequency of attempted infiltrations by foreign nationals into military bases.
He revealed that such incidents occur on a regular basis, with the Navy alone encountering these situations two or three times a week.
These individuals hail from various nations and often possess valid passports and documents.
The Admiral emphasized the importance of vigilant gate security measures in thwarting these infiltration attempts.
Caudle said, “This thing of our military bases getting penetrated by foreign nationals is happening more and more.
“This is something we see probably two or three times a week, where we’re stopping these folks at the gate.”
The host then asked “A week?”
Caudle responded, “A week, at least.
“And this is just Navy alone, where we’re seeing folks trying to come in.”
Caudle added, “A lot of times they have passports, they have papers, yes.
“But they’re in no way, shape, or form authorized to be on our base, and it’s really hard for us to tell the underlying motive for these type of cases.”
Caudle further stated, “This is Russian, Chinese.
“This comes from all these different nations.
“We’re seeing an uptick in it.”
