Ronin First Responder/Force Protection
The U.S military defines Force Protection as preventive measures taken to mitigate hostile actions against Defense Department personnel (including family members), resources, facilities and critical information. The concept of Force Protection was born in response to the terrorist bombing of Marine Barracks in Beirut Lebanon in 1983. The military recognized the Forces in the region had become complacent and service members were vulnerable to unconventional terrorist attacks. Force Protection protocols and procedures were established to mitigate unconventional threats to service members and their families when traveling and operating abroad. A key distinguishing factor of Force Protection is the combination Overt and Covert security and protective measures strategically coordinated to avoid predictability.
