Force protection (FP) is preventive measures taken to mitigate hostile actions in specific areas or against a specific population, usually military personnel, resources, facilities, and critical information. In the US military those protected by FP include, family members and chaplains.
Famous quotes containing the words force and/or protection:
“Rhyme and meter force gaps in meaning so the muse can enter.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
