US Army boosts security at recruiting centers
The US Army has boosted security at military recruiting stations since an attack at a center in July, the commander of Army recruitment said on Wednesday.
"In the absence of Chattanooga we probably would have done some of these things anyway (but) it has certainly accelerated some of our force protection measures," Major General Jeffrey Snow told Reuters.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the annual Association of United States Army (AUSA) conference in Washington.
Four U.S. Marines and a Navy petty officer were shot and killed in Chattanooga, Tennessee this summer. One site where the shootings occurred was a recruiting office in a strip mall.
