TUCSON - How secure are U.S. military installations? You would think the answer is: very.
But, as the News 4 Tucson Investigators uncovered, one installation, right here in southern Arizona, continues to face potential outside security risks, and the problem doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Fort Huachuca is only 15 miles north of our state's border with Mexico.
The Army post covers more than 73,000 acres. In many parts, the terrain is steep and rugged.
Much of the work that goes on at Fort Huachuca is classified but, as the News 4 Tucson Investigators learned, keeping people who don't belong there out, proves to be a difficult mission.

Ft Huachuca is a pretty special place. If security is that lax there, that’s a problem...
They’re so secure, we can tell the Border Patrol to stand down. /sarc.
Just looking for those NSA jobs.
——we can tell the Border Patrol to stand down——
It is a secure military base and Border Patrol are probably not allowed.
Special place is right, as you obviously know.
It gets better. There have been outright confrontations with APs patrolling the perimeter of the Goldwater Gunnery Range to the west. The smugglers have rammed AP trucks with their trucks; engaged in light firefights and car chases, etc.
The military tries to shrug it off but think about it: foreign smuggler operations running what amount to sapper probes onto USMil installations?
And getting light to no resistance?
Guess who might start paying attention to that kind of thing.
Why not invade the US via a key military intelligence base? After all a de-facto take of the USA by people who hate the essence is the country as originally founded is THE WHOLE PLAN.
The invaders of Ft. Huachuca and its high ranking defenders have MANY THINGS IN COMMON.
I would say 90% of US officers over O-5 despise the ideas of the founders.
Ask any general what he thinks of the second amendment and you will get a frightening shock.
“Undocumented immigrants???? How about being descriptive, rather than deceptive? ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS.

Nice little game of passing the buck.
Only hundreds?
Numbers are down since the last time I was out there.
Been there, you can see Mexico from the base so not surprised. Also was warned not to go hiking in certain areas and that the passes were full of trash from the Mexicans that used those passes to get into the US. Overall tougher for a US citizen to get in and out of that base than an illegal.
What makes is special?
I guess next we’ll find out they were picking up weapons to take down to Mexico.
Not after Petraeus and Mattis got together and created the COIN strategy.
Illegals are also caught regularly on a facility that is used for military training for deployment. That facility is used to train regular Army as well as Special Forces and Navy SEAL training. The facility I am referring to is also used for Homeland Security training, many alphabet federal agencies do explosive training, hostage training, etc. there.
I would imagine all the military and other sites near the border have issues with illegals. Most don’t see it as a security risk- the attitude is they are only illegals. I see it very different, those illegals are complete unknowns and could actually be terrorists or working with terrorists.
Citizens cannot just waltz into some of these places, accident or not or even legitimately work there without being under a lot of scrutiny. Yet a blind eye is turned to people entering illegally that we know absolutely nothing about.
