Beginning Monday, visitors to Dover Air Force Base have been seeing a new level of security: airmen going about everyday jobs carrying sidearms.
The policy itself isn't new, but its implementation is a direct result of attacks on military personnel by terrorist sympathizers or individuals with mental health issues, said Lt. Col. Dana G. Metzger, commander of the 436th Security Forces Squadron.
