Create a rolling roster of soldiers to be armed with their individual weapon and two magazines of ammo. They report to the provost marshal as the post quick reaction force.

Just like guard duty. Post command sergeant major tasks subordinate units down to unit first sergeants. Soldiers draw weapons, report to post HQ, are issued magazines and given their general/special guard orders, and take up their posts. The officer or sergeant of the guard goes around and inspects them at their posts, which they quit only when properly relieved.

Guard posts to be determined by division or post chief of staff. Soldiers protected, terrorists warned.

EST 2000 firing simulator system will prepare soldiers for reaction to variety of situations.

It can be done.

It would be sort of additional duty but he only requirement would be that you carry the gun while going about your normal work day.

Some have suggested that ALL personnel be allowed access to guns 24/7/365. This is a terrible idea mainly because while our soldiers, sailors, and Marines are brave, they aren’t angels and often do stupid things (drink until they pass out, DUI, do drugs, fight, steal, run around with other soldier’s wives, etc.) when off duty. I know this for a fact because I WAS a young sailor who did some on the list and saw others do more.
