Sign prohibiting entry to an ZDHS
France has set up on its territory of ZDHS,
abbreviation meaning in French : "Zone de Défense Hautement Sensible" (In english: Highly Sensitive Defense Zone).
ZDHS replaces the term ZMS (Zone Militaire Sensible) since a 2004 decree. This zone is decreed by a decree of the French Ministry of Defense and includes an area of the territory that is of vital interest for France or an immediate and important risk for the population. Traffic in these zones is strictly regulated.

Military patrol on a French naval base
Within a ZDHS, the military and gendarmes may use force after a warning to prevent or stop any intrusion. This notion of ZDHS was intended by the legislator to allow the use of weapons, including firearms, outside of self-defense.

Commando riflemen in charge of the protection of the Rosnay ZDHS in INDRE
On this picture, we can distinguish soldiers securing the access to one of the most watched sites in France, which is the Centre de Transmissions de la Marine (CTM) in Rosnay in INDRE. One of the essential missions of this site, which belongs to the Strategic Oceanic Force (SOF) in French: "Force Océanique Stratégique" (FOST), is to transmit orders from the authorities on land to the submarines on patrol.
TOULON Naval Base
There are many different types of bases on French territory, such as IPDs (Priority Defense Installations), here, the TOULON Naval Base. This base includes 70% of the French fleet and eight nuclear boilers, permanently guarded by military personnel.

We can note situations that, starting from a simple game, can lead to risks of ill-intentioned individuals to enter secure bases. In 2016, a commercial company launched the game "POKEMON GO". The principle of this game is to track with his smartphone virtual creatures scattered in real public spaces. In July 2016, a Frenchman had been arrested, in an Indonesian military base near JAKARTA, for this reason. Two young Canadians had also crossed the American border by mistake in search of these virtual

More worrying has been the unclaimed drone overflights since 2014 of sensitive sites, including 14 French nuclear power plants (6 of which on the same day, October 31, 2014), as well as the Creys Malville nuclear site being deconstructed, 4 research centers, and the Ile Longue naval base, which houses nuclear ballistic missile submarines.

For this, the protection of French nuclear power plants had already been improved in 2009, with the reorganization of the gendarmes protecting these sites with the PSPG.
With more than 900 gendarmes and an annual budget of 200 million euros financed by EDF Company, these PSPGs ensure the security and integrity of these sites on a daily basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Training of American soldiers from a US ARMY SRT
Each country has legislation allowing their military to protect sensitive sites. On September 20, 2019, the Americans strengthened the protection of one of their most sensitive and best guarded sites:
"Base 51" in NEVADA.
Indeed, 1 million people had signed up on social media to follow an event proposing to "force" their way into Area 51 in huge numbers on September 20, 2019. The US AIR Force took this risk very seriously.
This one didn't happen...

as well as trainings simulating intrusions on strategic bases within the framework of terrorist risks as for example the operation "FINISTERE 2019" which took place at the beginning of October 2019, creating false attacks on the bases of BREST:
- Version Française -
If the army is taking seriously the risk of terrorist intrusion on its bases, this follows various arrests of people ready to commit attacks inside, such as in May 2017 of a 34-year-old man, a former military man who became radicalized, and who was planning to attack Air Base 105.
