The United States military commander for forces in Europe raised the protection level for U.S. military bases and forces after President Joe Biden’s weak debate performance against former President Donald Trump.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said it was due to a “combination of factors and not related to a single threat.”
“This was done out of an abundance of caution. I won’t get into more specifics, other than that, but I’d refer you to [European Command] for any more questions that you have on force protection measures,” she said at a press conference on Monday.
She said she could not speak to the reasons behind the decision, but that the commander, Army Gen. Christopher Cavoli felt additional steps were needed to “increase vigilance for our service members, for their families.”
