Whether it is an intentional act, or distracted driving, such as looking down at GPS guidance, the result is the same: it poses an immediate threat to the installation and the Soldier or Guard at the gate has to respond in a split second. Denial barrier systems at the gate are activated, preventing access from not only the suspicious driver, but also everyone approaching the gate.

Nearly 60 wounded warriors gathered on Fort Belvoir over the past week to train as part of a special team of athletes that will compete in the 2023 Invictus Games.
The Invictus Games, which began in 2014, is an international multi-sport event for wounded and recovering active duty servicemembers and veterans. The games were founded by England’s Prince Harry as a way to inspire recovery and rehabilitation. This year’s games will be in Dusseldorf, Germany, from Sept. 9-17.
