I wasn't thinking about the entrance to the base. I meant every entrance to the building or anywhere else people gather. In other words, anybody considering mass murder or mayhem should have to consider dealing with a nearby soldier or soldiers with rifles and ready to use them.

You're right. Those bases are large. Force protection like that would require a lot of personnel who are currently needed in the bullshit war of imperial conquest across the great water.
