Going to Area 51

They should send every 'weekend warrior' active duty reserve infantry unit that has drill that weekend to Groom to do some "Defensive perimeter" ops. It would be a big show of force to anyone.


The perimeter is guarded by a security contractor. I’m sure they would be hard pressed to cover all that ground. I’m sure the internal security is handled by AF security police. I would imagine the AF would fly in addition AF personnel to beef up security. Being that everything is joint now they would task the army to provide some assets, maybe several Stryker battalions. Then there’s active denial systems they could deploy. Oh, and as far as drones you can bet they’ll be flying along the 95 monitoring traffic.
