Despite lapses, security company continues

December 16-31, 2011

A South Korean security company has been allowed to continue manning entryways at US Army installations in Korea despite at least two cases of negligence — one of which involved a drunken driver who drove past two checkpoints at a high-security facility.

The facility, Command Post Tango, is a bunker on the outskirts of Seoul that would serve as the US command and control centre during a war.

The security lapse there occurred during last summer’s annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian, a two-week US-South Korea joint military exercise. A private vehicle entered Camp Walker in an outbound lane without being stopped. The car passed over a tire shredder and eventually came to a stop on the Daegu area installation. The Korean driver had been trying to flee from a sobriety checkpoint and turned down a wrong road. The guard who failed to stop the car was suspended without pay for 30 days.
