In the wake of the tragic shooting at Fort Hood that left 12 dead and 31 injured, some military bases in the area are taking precautions.
Fort Dix issued a statement Thursday saying:
"With the recent activities at Fort Hood, Texas, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has increased our security measures. The installation is not closed. We do not release specific details about the security processes we have in place. As always, our goal is to ensure JB MDL remains safe and secure for both personnel and the local community."
Back in 2007, five men were arrested in connection with a foiled terror plot to harm soldiers at the base. The men were later found guilty of conspiracy to harm military personnel.
