“Smart Gates” a Smart Move for Army Security and Best Business Practices

A new automated "smart gate" that uses your CAC, or Common Access Card, is up and running at Patton Barracks, Heidelberg, Germany. Why smart gates? While enhancing Army security, the new installation gates are also cost effective. According to one source, posting one guard for 24 hours for a year costs the Army about $190,000. http://tinyurl.com/nq7lpw
