Admiral Daryl Caudle, Commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command, has confirmed an increase in attempts by foreign nationals to infiltrate U.S. military bases. There have been reports of two to three such incidents occurring weekly over the past few weeks. The infiltrations involve nationals from countries such as Russia and China. This situation has raised concerns about the security of U.S. military installations, with over 100 breaches by Chinese nationals reported in recent years. Despite these alarming incidents, there has been criticism of the lack of executive action to secure the borders.
