Active denial to the installation can result in which of the following?

Active denial to the installation can result in which of the following?

• A. Civil penalties
• B. Administrative actions
• C. Less than lethal force - deadly force
• D. Verbal reprimand

Answer: (C)

Active denial to the installation demands an immediate protective response from security forces. In such a situation, responders are authorized to use a graduated range of force to stop the threat, starting with non-forceful measures and escalating as needed. The appropriate outcome is that force may be used, including less than lethal means, and, if the threat to life or serious injury exists, deadly force may be used to protect people and property. This emphasis on taking decisive, forceful action to neutralize the threat makes it the best choice. Civil penalties, administrative actions, or a verbal reprimand do not address an ongoing threat to life and are not the immediate response in an active denial scenario.
