U.S. Military Tells Recruitment Centers to Increase Security

The U.S. military has directed recruiting centers across the country to step up security in the wake of last week's deadly attack in Chattanooga, Tenn., that left four Marines and a sailor dead, military officials said.

Adm. Bill Gortney, head of the U.S. Northern Command, issued a directive that calls on centers to implement modest new security measures such as increased surveillance, officials said. The steps don't authorize recruiters to carry weapons. The moves come after Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez allegedly opened fire on a recruiting center in Chattanooga and then drove to a Navy administrative center, where he killed the five service members.
