Vehicle inspections - why PMO does them - U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Chaz Smith, a military police officer with the Provost Marshal’s Office, Security & Emergency Services Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, conducts a random antiterrorism measure vehicle inspection in 15 Area on Camp Pendleton, California, Oct. 31, 2019. A RAM is a force protection measure designed to look for anything nefarious or illegal someone may be trying to bring aboard the base. The randomness of the inspection prevents external observers from predicting or establishing a timeline for force protection measures. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Alison Dostie)
