Do it make sense to expose soldiers at the gates? is there a better/smarter way to implement security at our gates?

You're greeted at the gates with "Welcome to Fort (so-and-so)"?

Automated...Soldiers can be utilized in higher priority assignments, like sharpening their MOS/Soldier skills.

Common sense says every person entering a military installation should be confronted F2F.....And an immediate assessment made....That's how i would handle it. Not to mention automation includes electronics which can be hacked as we have seen countless times.

The primary reason for manning the gates is for security through visual deterrence. Considering most Army posts are not entirely enclosed, there are still ways to get on without having to go through a gate. And that visual deterrent would not be accomplished through an automated system.
