What is the goal of Force Protection measures?

The goal of Force Protection measures is primarily focused on the safety and security of Air Force personnel, assets, and missions. This approach encompasses a wide range of strategies and practices designed to detect, deter, and mitigate various threats that could potentially harm individuals or disrupt operations. By ensuring that there are robust protocols in place, Force Protection aims to safeguard service members from potential attacks and vulnerabilities, thereby maintaining operational readiness and effectiveness.

While protecting national resources can be part of the broader context, the core objective of Force Protection is explicitly about the proactive measures to ensure the safety of people and missions rather than merely focusing on physical assets or improving maintenance standards.
