Despite its extensive garrison, numerous fences and remote location, Mr
Hammond admitted that defending the base is highly challenging.
“It is difficult to defend a site of this size, particularly when faced with a
suicidal attack,” he said.
Mr Hammond told MPs that “a number of improvements” have been made in base
security since the attack, including an increase in perimeter patrols
People living in several villages and settlement close to the base’s fence
line have been told they must move “so that we will have a clearer field of
fire,” Mr Hammond said.
