where do you send personnel? and what is really the top concern is getting the information correct, which is why i tell you at the beginning of these things yes, you need to have speed, but at the same time if you react, you over react, you send the wrong resources to the wrong places that could really have an impact on your ability to respond effectively. >> there are reports that some of the shooting has taken place at an army reserve center also reports of shootings at a navy reserve center. again, when you're in your line of work having been responsible for homeland security in the era of terrorism, that has to make you think twice about what we've got going on here. >> we know that isil in particular has been recruiting worldwide. they've sent out the message, join the fight. come and help us go against the folks that would go against the caliphate we're trying to establish. they succeed if they get americans in particular who don't have any previous imprint on the counter terrorism system to go out and do t

you can't protect military personnel when they going to public. if they are dressed in their uniform than they are liable to be attacked. i don't know how you're going to protect them other than throw more guns. we have men out there with guns. i believe that the nra has not come to the last couple of discussions. they have sat back, and we the people continually carry their methods about more guns, more guns, more guns. more guns are going to meet more people dead. guest: that's the key argument here. the different -- difference with these population is these are military personnel, they do have some familiarity, some training with firearms. these are not necessarily undisciplined, we're talking up people who understand, have possibly more respect than the average civilian for these weapons. but this is where we are going to head, the you believe more guns will make you safer or do you believe there is another alternative that can help protect these facilities and these people? host: if you are active military the number to call is (202) 748-8002

we've seen personnel led out of there. we have also seen people led from the main gate on rockville pike between jones bridge and cedar lane escorted across the street to south drive which is where the metro is, which is where there is a kiss and ride parking lot. we're really in a holding pattern.

we could do short draw downs of certain personnel. we could lower our presence or they go to -- >> let's talk about kabul. >> we work closely with the department of defense. >> okay. >> we are many the mids of upgrading because of the surge and the number of people left behind in the military leaving this large part. we are in the midst of another revision of the evacuation plan. the ne o plan, we call it. we will ensure we have the ability to get our people out of that country given the size it won't be overnight. this is not like evacuating a 200-person embassy. we are exception that willy aware of the danger of the route ta particularly white between the embassy and airport. we have been using a mix of air 57bd ground movements by appropriate. the embassy reviews how to move people and the safest way to do it. we have i think because of our efforts not suffered the same types of attacks yet. we will do our best and use a mix of air and ground movements. >> i would say given the history here we should expect further attacks on the e

your questions of mobility dealing with that many military personnel in the hospital now. so many concerns as law enforcement deals with the situation. rebecca, what can you tell us? rebecca: we are still seeing movement inside gate number two where we see law enforcement with their weapons visible. going alongside the gate, talking to the various security guards positioned at the gate. we have not seen any additional law enforcement inside. a few minutes ago we saw several cars come back inside the gate. right now, it is quiet as we are awaiting to get updates. the employees who had been here and hoping to go inside, they felt like they needed to get inside to work, they said they were not getting communication in terms of what to do. state troopers positioned outside the gate cleared them away from the gate entrance and told cars to leave as well. they have continued to keep this part of rockville pike shut down. they are now going throughout the campus and trying to determine what, if anything, they can find. there does not seem to be a sense of panic here. much more a

military personnel. no indication that any military personnel at this point were killed in this incident. and the reason they say this to us is as you would expect i think as all americans would expect the military has a very strict protocol if someone is killed. some member of the u.s. military service. it is reported very quickly through their chain of command all the way to the pentagon. this is a very strict protocol. and at this hour they have no information that any military personnel were killed in this incident. what we are told is their best sense of it at this point, is that one sailor and one marine were injured in the incident. they are believed to be in good condition at this point. that is the best information the pentagon has right now. now, what they are telling us -- again, many people are reporting this at cnn -- is that this began at 10:50 this morning when an unidentified -- >> at two different locations, people who proudly serve our country. over the last couple of hours, i have spen

military personnel. so they'll have the lead. but by and large, should there have been a prosecution, it likely would have been at the local level first. you know and to say this guy has acted alone, this shooter has acted alone, i think right now all we know is that there was no second person in this so described mustang convertible with the top down. as jim says, the fbi tells us there were multiple weapons that this individual had. so there's a lot of investigation still open. >> clint, how much harder is it to figure out the motive here? the gunman is dead. they say that they do have access to his car. at this point, is it more difficult if the shooter is not alive? >> well, yes and no. i mean he's not -- he's -- in a position obviously that we can't question him. but what's more i guess important at this point for the investigators hopefully they have his cell phone, they'll have his computer. again, they'll be developing this wiring diagram with social media, with conversations with his workplace, they will move from person

it and then other various operating expenses on the personnel suicides we should be fine and on bucket with those a couple of reasons the first is that as we staff up with permanent dollars if we are staffing up prior to moving into the new building it essentially allows us to flex down the registry and temporary and over times spending and allows us to use permanent hours to staff our shifts the second a lot of the training and transition costs are budgeted in the transition project so we have flexibility as to when we're going to actually extend those dollars so mayday april date we spend those dollars for training on it this is probably our area that we'll have to spend the most focus on there will be likely cost impact from the it vendor contracts we kind of fixed payment going going out to those vendor and some of the work we're asking them to had pushed back or extended for some period of time there is a figure on this slide it says about million dollars per month is the upper limit it is come down come down since we've put this slide together to work with the vendor to work thro
