After a gunman killed four Marines and a sailor at a Navy Reserve Center in Chattanooga last month, the Navy plans to station armed guards at all of its reserve centers across the country, NBC News has learned.
An email sent to Naval Reservists nine days
after the attack, and obtained by NBC News, says "VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
IMMEDIATELY!" to provide 45 days of "armed sentry watchstander duty" at
53 "NOSCs," or Navy Reserve Centers, beginning Aug. 17, and also asks
for volunteers to provide a full year of armed sentry duty at 70 reserve
centers starting Oct. 17.
The Navy confirmed to NBC News that it plans to
station armed personnel at all 70 reserve centers that are not located
on military bases. The guards would be reservists called to active duty
on an all-volunteer basis.
