Trouble Goes No Further
Redstone Arsenal, located in Huntsville, Ala., had been experiencing a number of unauthorized entries onto its facility due to faulty or inadequate physical perimeter security measures. One such incident happened in May 2008, in which a passenger vehicle chased by police breached security at Redstone Arsenal and ended on the federal facility, killing an innocent man. Redstone, according to its website, is home to the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, the Space and Missile Defense Command, numerous program executive offices, and major components of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Missile Defense Agency.
