 newspaper, which serves the US military in overseas locations. The response is to an article published on September 28, 2005, concerning a breach in base security at Patch Barracks Patch Barracks is a well-known US military installation in Stuttgart-Vaihingen in Germany. It is named after Alexander M. Patch.

Patch Barracks was renamed from the German Kurmärker Kaserne in 1952. It served as home to the 7.
, Stuttgart, Germany. The article covered an incident where 3 anti-war protesters breached the base perimeter and walked the base unchallenged. Please reference the following link http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=31059&archive =true (see Note A) to review the article.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  made the following comments concerning the incident, "This is one of the areas that Strategy X can help military bases combat terrorism.

 this type of incident. The processes we use in system development are sound, the DoD, DoE, and the Secret Service among others have used them extensively. Our people at SRGX have worked with and refined this process to make it very effective and efficient. You have to provide your security personnel with the technology and procedures to effectively meet the threat. We can make that happen."

Joseph J. Doyle CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey.  and Director of the Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis Division stated the following, "We use a performance-based process in both the assessment and the design of physical security systems. We call the process the Effects-Based Security Assessment. The process utilizes modeling and simulation to analyze the effectiveness of a security system, and then test designs to ensure they will meet security objectives of a given site. We believe in this process. We know it works. We take a real-world situation and place it in a synthetic environment.

Once we have the replica built, we can do anything within that environment. We then use a designed base threat and analyze the outcome. When necessary, we can then add procedures or technology to the replica until we come up with a design that will meet the requirements of the site. This eliminates the need for best educated guess, and takes away the question of whether or not the security system will perform. There is no better way of designing a physical security system."

Mr. Lewis concludes with the following, "Although this was anti-war protestors making a statement, it could have been different. Now, vulnerabilities have been exposed to the public. The leadership at EUCOM EUCOM European Command (USEUCOM)

 is right. The public plays a huge role in detecting unauthorized people on an installation, but once they enter the installation undetected you can't differentiate between who is and who is not supposed to be on the base. The most critical step in avoiding a malevolent ma·lev·o·lent
