Military failed to conduct background checks on civilians in base housing, putting troops at risk

[Mil Times] Military officials have been taking an "unnecessary safety and security risk to military personnel, their dependents ... and assets" by not properly screening civilian tenants who apply to live in privatized housing on base, the Defense Department Inspector General has found.

In some cases, that included failing to conduct criminal background checks at one of the Defense Department's most highly classified sensitive installations, Fort Detrick, Maryland, home to the military's chemical and biological research programs.

"The consequences of unauthorized access to these types of facilities could be catastrophic," the Inspector General auditors wrote.

According to the report, some of the tenants also received access badges that expired after their lease is ended, including some that exceeded the lease termination date by six months or more.
