The OP (chan) was in the Amry and not AF so that is why he called it barracks. My MOS had nothing to do with working in the boxes so dont understand what he is referring to as far as tracking (thinking it  must be on the screens in the box ) but also not sure how the AF MPs would had know they had the box computers up and running. Usually you arent setting up boxes right next to the base police stations. They are large trailers. If they were setting uo they were either in training mode or in a field exercise. This story is odd. I too served in the 11th ADA but in the mid-late 90s. At the time ended up having many people found in a drug ring selling out of empty warehous buildings on post in some military-civilian drug running gang. We never did get to find out who all was involved in what ever happened to them.
